TO BE FAIR, WANTING TO KNOW CAN BE AN ISSUE OF SAFETY. LIFE IS A GAGGLE OF PEOPLE AND EXPERIENCES SOME GOOD AND OTHERS DREADFULLY NOT. EVERYONE NEEDS A LITTLE PREDICTABILITY EVERY NOW AND AGAIN. WE NEED TO KNOW WHO THE SANE ONES ARE. THE HONEST ONES, THE LAZE ABOUTS AND THE HARD WORKER
I GET IT.
BUT AT THIS MOMENT I AM IN THE MIDST OF A SEISMIC SHIFT. AND IT HAS LEFT ME A BIT RATTLED AS I RESHAPE MYSELF, YET AGAIN. RIGHT NOW I AM NOT PREDICTABLE. WHAT I HAVE BEEN, IS SLOWLY MORPHING INTO WHAT I AM NOW AND THEY NEED TO SHAKE HANDS AND MAKE FRIENDS.
WE LIVE IN A WORLD OF THE HYPHENATE DOCTOR/LANDSCAPE ARTIST, LAWYER/PASTRY CHEF, BUSINESS OWNER/PHILANTHROPIST. EVERY TIME THAT WE INTRODUCE OURSELVES WE ARE FACED WITH THE CHALLENGE TO ACCURATELY DESCRIBE JUST WHO WE ARE. BUT IN OUR STRUGGLE TO SOUND CREDIBLE WE STRAIN AT THE REIGNS OF CHOOSING SIDES. I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WERE AN ACTRESS? I AM. BUT I AM ALSO… BECAUSE OF THE DISCOMFORT, LATELY I HAVE BEEN TAKING REFUGE IN MY “MOMMY-HOOD, AND WIFEY-NESS” TO GET A BREAK FROM THE UNNERVING NATURE OF A REINVENTION, WHICH IS UPHEAVAL. BUT BEING A MOMMY AND WIFEY ARE MUCH MORE SIMPLE. MOMMY’S PICK UP KIDS, DOLE OUT LOVE AND SNACKS. WIVES MAKE DINNER, DOLE OUT LOVE AND SNACKS AND TRY NOT TO BITCH TOO MUCH. BUT ALL THE OTHER PARTS OF ME ARE NOT SO COMPLIANT RIGHT NOW.
WHO WE ARE …WHO WE REALLY ARE IS A CHANGING SPOT ON A EVER SPINNING PLANET OF POSSIBILITY. I DESIRE FOR THE CORE OF ME TO REMAIN CONSTANT. THE CENTER OF MY “I AM” TO BE A BEACON OF STABILITY. “I AM” KIND, CREATIVE, SPIRITED, LOVING, INQUISITIVE, HOPEFUL, TRUTHFUL, THANKFUL. WHILE THE OTHER PART OF MY “I AM” REMAINS FLUID OPEN TO THE SPONTANEITY OF A LIFE LIVED WITH PASSION AND A DESIRE TO GROW. THIS ” I AM” IS AN ACTRESS, WRITER, TEACHER, LIFE COACH, STYLE MAVEN.
I PRAY THAT THE TASTE WHEN IT TOUCHES YOUR LIPS IS SAVORY AND SWEET…CUZ I AM THAT.
I HEARD SOMEWHERE…(MARIANNE WILLIAMSON) WHEN YOU LIVE YOUR TRUTH IT GIVES OTHERS PERMISSION TO DO THE SAME. SO THE NEXT TIME SOMEONE LOOKS SLIGHTLY CONFUSED AS YOU RATTLE OFF YOUR SPARKLING PEDIGREE…JUST SIMPLY STATE. “I’M A HYBRID A VAST IMPROVEMENT ON LAST YEARS MODEL.”
WATCH THEIR FACES LIGHT UP.
BE YOUR BEAUTIFUL SELF. COMMA’S, DASHES AND ALL!
I KNOW “I AM”
KISSES
