Sharing

Recently, I became involved in Angela Carr Patterson’s Heart Secret Project which allows woman to share their own unique stories with others. It was important for me to share my heart secret through this forum because it allows me to personally release hurt and pain that kept me locked and stuck into ways of interacting and showing up in my relationships and in my life.

I also share my story because today I have a new journey, and that journey is about taking responsibility for my life and moving forward by unlocking a new way to being through Angela’s principles of love, acceptance, and forgiveness. I too want to share and inspire other woman to share their own unique heart secret because I believe that we all have a unique story to tell, and a story that others can learn from.

Ultimately, when you choose not to love, then you become locked and stuck into ways of interacting and showing up in your life; ways that do not allow you to live your life authentically and fully. Through my own experiences, I have grown to learn that we must not harbor guilt, or blame onto others for the challenges, hurt, and disappointment experienced in our lives because that negative energy that we hold onto consumes our lives, and begins to show up in ways masqueraded as things that we don’t know exists which causes even more challenges, hurt, and disappointment. Thus my new journey and one that I encourage others to move toward is a path that does not blame anyone for the challenges and hurt experienced in your life. I urge and challenge others to choose forgiveness and thus demonstrate love, despite your injury, which is far more difficult than choosing not to...
