“Acceptance truly comes when you can let go of the need to impress and only showing parts of yourself that you think others want to see.” The true test came when I was given the opportunity to be a columnist and a Diamond Psychic for Bellesprit Magazine.  I was asked to make a public Facebook page for readers and potential clients.  I battled for days as to the right way to handle this.  I poured countless hours and wasted energy in what I should do.  I even thought about opening another private FB page and sorting out certain friends.  I lived in total fear for a few days. What were my family and ‘friends’ going to say?  Then I applied the healing I had learned and what I had gleaned from my spiritual journey.  I put the fear aside and did what my heart told me to do.  I sat down and opened my public Facebook page.  Wow, talking about a freeing moment!  I had just met fear head on and won! I received more support and encouragement from people I never expected.  In the end, it really didn’t matter who approved of me and my lifestyle.  What mattered was how I felt about myself…and I felt great!  So the reason for me telling my story is to say this…stay true to you.  Do what it takes to make yourself happy and first and foremost, BELIEVE in and love you!  The people who matter will stay by your side through your life’s choices and the ones who don’t, never really counted in the first place.  I no longer care what others think of me, my choices, and that has been the one most liberating choice of my life.  Acceptance truly comes when you can let go of the need to impress and only showing parts of yourself that you think others want to see.  For if we are to have true peace in this world, each one of us must find it within ourselves first. Peace, Love & Light to each one of you!]]>
