"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
-Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
I have been remembering the power of speaking things into existance. I silence myself about so many things that truly do matter to me. Even when I KNOW that others deserve for me to own my voice, I dont. A substantial portion of the time, its because I am afraid how it will come off. I have fear that it will not be speaking with love and others will ignore what I say because I am angry.
Its been so powerful in my life to take the time to re-center and focus before I speak. I do get to share the things that come up for me. I do get to stop the gossip and negativity around me. When I do, I feel so empowered and absolute joy! In the end, even if it wasnt well received, I know I spoke with love and accountability. I verbalized my peace. I am committed to not be silenced by fear!
