Transparency, Honesty, Forgiveness, and Why it Sometimes Sucks to M...

It's my last night in Acapulco, and that's always a bit of a bummer. So many wonderful people, so much sunlight, and OH MY GOD the fruits!!! At the same time, I'm certainly looking forward to not sweating all the time, and my love @TheLynx is back in Portland and I'm excited to get back to her.

Anyway, that doesn't really have anything to do with the content of this video :-)

The main point of this video is the fact that while it can be absolutely great meeting and getting to know your heroes, connecting with the "movers & shakers" of the movement... sometimes it's a pretty terrible experience as well.

How do I reconcile sitting through a speech and being brought to tears, having my life entirely changed in 45 minutes... with slowly learning that the person who gave that speech actually doesn't live that message, in fact in many ways is the opposite of their message?

Obviously none of us are perfect, but if we aren't at least honest about our imperfections, are we really any different from politicians & corporate talking heads? This has really been up for me as I move forward with locking in speakers for Hive account@be-empowered. There are so many people who I know can give a powerful & inspiring session from that stage, but if they aren't actually living it then do I really want to give them a platform?

I do my best to be transparent about who I am, who I've been, my struggles, my healing, my mistakes, my vision for myself & the world, and what I'm doing to get there. If you've followed me for a while you know that a LOT of my content is actually me calling myself out, holding myself accountable, and sharing my stumbles and how I get through them, because that's real, and that's often the most valuable content I have to offer.

Sorry drama lovers, no names or even hints here, just the truth:

"Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits." ~ Matthew 7:15-16

As always, one of the main lenses I use to look at life is that of the Law of Attraction, and to my innerstanding, the words that we speak have no real value if they do not align with the truth of our inner state and our actions.

If you ever have a problem with me, if you feel that I wrong you in some way, or if you notice me doing/saying something that doesn't seem in alignment with who you know me to be, please let me know. We are all reflections for each other, and sometimes the eyes of another can see us more clearly than we see ourselves.

Namaste
