There’s something beautiful about authenticity. It always lives in truth and always shines. I’m working on being my most authentic self and speaking my truth. No one can tell me my truth is wrong. It’s mine to hold. It’s mine to share if I want to.

I’m living with intentions to make my life and my passions full of happiness. I deserve that. For the longest time I thought I didn’t deserve life itself. The thoughts I had about death were strong. But deep down I knew there was hope; even if it was only a spark. That spark is catching fire and I’m rising like the Phoenix into a new chapter. I’m excited to see what will come of it!

When I would be asked to do a 5 year plan by therapists in the past, I couldn’t see past a few months let alone 5 years! Today I noticed that I have the ability to see into what I want for my future. I don’t know how I’ll get there, but I don’t need to know the details. I’m just putting it out there into the Universe and letting the Universe handle the details.

Life is always changing. I was so stuck for so long that I felt trapped inside myself. I couldn’t breathe. I’m taking a deep breath now and letting it out; relaxing into the unknown…. because what’s the worst that could happen if I go after my dreams? The question isn’t if, but when.

I encourage anyone struggling with leaning into the unknown to lean in and see what happens. It will be scary. Maybe nothing will come of it at first. Eventually something will come of it. Move forward with 5 seconds of courage. Sometimes that’s all it takes to change the course of your life.

I’m not going to lie, I’m not the best at leaning into unknown territory. I’m learning to though. And isn’t that why we’re here? To learn and grow and heal, and to allow ourselves to be our most authentic selves?

Keep on being you. I’ll keep on being me.

Sending love and light, Kel.
