Permission granted .... with homework :)

 

Good Morning.

Did you know that you have the power to change your life

by understanding this one thing?

 never make yourself small for anyone.

It is okay to want more.

It is okay to heal with nature and not Rx.

You want to drink raw milk? Go for it!

It is okay to work hard for  the lifestyle that makes you happy.

It is okay to want *the fairy tale*

It is okay to eat the foods that make you healthy & happy.

It is okay to believe something or not believe something.

Go on.... take the trip.

Wear the thing.

Because the ones who judge you hate you.

Why would you ever listen to anyone who hated you?

It is just that simple.

And once you realise that, well.... life is much easier to manage.

It is not your job to make others feel comfortable either.

It isn't.

This is your permission slip to just stop caring for those who never cared for you.

The people in your life who are meant to be there will be.

The folks who are still maturing will hang around the fringes

waiting for you to fail.

Ignore them.

It is time to unlearn everything you were told that

had you believing that you were unworthy or unloveable

because it does not align with their beliefs.

Who cares?

Listen, if you are not an ax wielding unaliver who hates kittens

and drives in the left lane going 55 and has a moral compass that relies

not on your own volition but something greater....then  we are cool.

No matter how weird, strange, different, broken, I will

respect you and defend your right to that weirdness, strangeness unpopular opinion.

But if you start telling me how I must behave, act, comport

myself, how I must agree with you or be called childish names

then I will think of you as a fool and ignore you.

My unlearning about bullies came when I started to push back.

Push back.

I choose to find joy in my day.

I choose to belong to a system of living that understands common sense and

that people are delightfully complex.

I choose God.

I choose believing that I am enough.

So the lesson here today is to start putting the focus upon

how much you allow others judgements to affect your choices.

How to never let them matter.

Remember, if they are judging you they hate you.

Live life as the most true form of who you are.

That is freedom.

Your people will find you.

Eat the foods, take the trips, believe better for yourselves.

Let your intuition guide you into healthier relationships.

Once you allow yourselves to never be made small

you will never want to ever let anothers judgements affect who you are.

I have homework for you.....

Now is the time to fill this list  out.

You can not advocate for yourselves without knowing

the playing field first.

This list may have changed.

It did for me.

I actually have written this out 4 times in just the last month.

Growth is like that.

My hope is that it will help you as much as it has for me.

I hope that you have a wonderful Wednesday.

It will be hot , but folks I hate to tell you- it is Summer and in a few short weeks

the evenings will be darker...nights cooler.

I will be entertaining today & keeping animals alive

in this heat.

Bless you.
