This is lady has been through some s**t... As I'm sure we all have coming off of a year like 2020. BUT I'm optimistic. I've experienced massive growth and I know it comes from the change and adversity I've faced. I'm learning to use my voice, to speak up and out; but it's not easy. It's not easy being brown in a country that discriminates and oppresses. It's not easy being a woman in a country that saw us as unequal in the eyes of the law until the 1970's (ERA Amendment Supreme Court Ruling was in 1972)...and there's still debate. It's terrifying being Native and feeling even less by all standards. I'm anxious to share that I'm an empath, a healer, an intuitive, for fear of ridicule and persecution.. And it's been very hard for me to express my bisexuality to anyone...even myself :( . Many times I'll catch myself afraid to share who I am, what I believe, and why I feel the way I feel. Even with those closest to me. It's why I post this now: For myself. To not hide, or cower, or question. To engage with truth and see what happens. I love me. Of course I want others to love me too. But I'm learning that others don't matter as much when I offer love and acceptance to myself first. Have a wonderful and sweet day friends...if you need a boost to start your journey- I love you. ❤
