– clarity and vision –
One step, it has to start somewhere, so the first step is the one step that matters
Live your true and authentic life, be your true and authentic self
Some moments this is clear and easy, others are challenging
Every challenge is building your strength and resilience
Every step is bringing you closer, look within. activate your strength
Take one step, then take the next.
How do I overcome my inner scared rabbit and shine like a lighthouse?
Shining light when darkness is all around, being a beacon of hope in the face of troubled times, being a guide back into the light
When I can do this, why do I hesitate?
When I’m in my power, I can see beyond the ties of now.
When I’m a scared rabbit, all I can see is the inside of my eyeballs and the scenarios my ego is constructing,
False evidence appearing real, oh yeah old friend, F.E.A.R.
How do I be brave, and break that cycle?
One step, then another, then another.
Soon, I’ve taken more steps than I’d realise and my stride is lengthening, my momentum is forward and my goal is clear.
The weight of fear I’ve been carrying slides away.
The voices in my head are responding to my resolution of purpose,
And every day my inner cheer squad is chanting;
I’m brave, I’ve got this, I am of service to those around me, I am love, I am joy,
I am respect.
As these radiate from within, my intent and purpose crack through the layers of resistance and my inner lighthouse is now shining for me.
Everyday we choose how we accept information and opinions into our lives, often overlooking our inner voice and our core truths. And sometimes our inner voice and our core truths are at odds with our best selves. When change is such a constant in our lives, why is it that the voice that persists is often the least helpful one?
Be kind to yourself, tune into your inner voice, acknowledge and set aside the unhelpful tracks from your childhood, look at yourself now, in truth and with kindness. Find the thing about yourself that you are most thankful for. You can build yourself from here, one step at a time.
Be steadfast, be kind, be brave, be your best self.

Today is important,
Yesterday drives me forward but cannot hold me back,
Tomorrow is unwritten.
Today I honour all my yesterdays, all my actions, my values and my fears.
I honour those I knew then, those who have moved on,
Especially those who have passed.
Today is important because I am choosing to share me with you and take a leap into the unknown with you,
So welcome, I trust the love that flows through the words I share offer comfort, inspiration and act as a lighthouse to guide you to your safe harbour, and together we will light up our lives.
