Throughout time, we have been asked, “Do you know who you are?” Most of us would answer by saying, “Yes, I know who I am!” but we are so much more than we are consciously aware of. Our challenge as women is to become conscious of what is now unconscious in us. The time has come for us to explore those parts of our nature that are presently hidden from us so we may express ourselves more authentically.
So the real question would be, “how much of yourself are you really aware of?” Do you really know who you are at your core? It takes time to uncover and discover the authentic you.
Yet it is imperative that we do so and we do it quickly. Our hidden self image is the governing influence in our lives. Everything we think, say and do is a direct reflection of who we believe our selves to be at the core. And the results of those beliefs are producing what you are currently experiencing in your life at this very moment. So if what you are currently experiencing in your life is not what you want, change who you are.
Notice I didn’t say change what you do, I said change who you are. Your defining moment in your life will be when you are willing to let go of who you are not (your false beliefs of yourself) and become who you were born to be. There is in the mind of God a perfect image of who you really are.
When you align yourself with that image, then you will begin to see your life automatically change for the better.
You won’t need to struggle to change habits or gain more will power. You will automatically change effortlessly. So as they say, “to thy own self be true.” Discover the real you and begin to live your best life.

How Much Love Are You Giving?
How much love are you giving? I work with people everyday who often feel that no one really loves them. Or they wonder if they will ever experience a real love relationship with another.
But the question we all should be asking is...”how much love am I giving?” Because only what we are not giving can be lacking in any situation. The purpose of relationships is to expand us and where our love is conditional, we need expansion. Wanting to be loved when you are not ready or willing to give love is really a very selfish and self serving desire.
Can you love even in the absence of love? Can you love even when it seems that no one is reciprocating?
True love has no expectations...all true love wants to do is love...to give it. So I ask you once again...how much love are you giving? Take a look around you...if your life is not overflowing with love...maybe you are the missing link.

Who Do You Judge?
A few years ago I met a woman who just seemed to get on my nerves. Let’s face it! There are some people that you meet and something about their personality feels like fingernails on a black board. Her mannerism, what she said, how she said it just got to me. I was within myself being judgmental.
So I began to surrender my thoughts to God and prayed for a miracle because I didn’t like what I was feeling and thinking. As I got a chance to get to know this woman, one day she began to tell some of us her story. Her story was one of such dysfunction that all I do was cry. Now I understood why she behaved the way she did and why she got under so many people’s skin. She was trying to act like an adult, yet never really having had any functional adulthood modeled for her.
That same behavior on her part that had once brought up judgment from me now brings up compassion from me. The miracle was not that she had changed, but I had changed.
Of course we all judge sometimes, because we have limited understanding and we don’t see the whole story. I’m not telling you to suppress the judgmental thoughts; deny and pretend they don’t exist. Nor should you indulge them in secret. Healing is like a detox, things have to come up in order to be released.
Be honest about your feelings and then release them to God. God cannot take from you what you will not release to Him. When we ask the Spirit of God to enter our thoughts and literally remind us of the truth, we can create a miracle. Behavior from all people is derived from two things: Love or a call for Love.
Many people have shifted away from God until they don’t know how to express themselves and really don’t know how to be their best selves to get their needs met.
If you choose to focus on someone else’s guilt, you will become guilty yourself, no matter how they treat you. If you choose to focus on someone else’s innocence, you will become innocent, even when the other person hasn’t shown it to you. That’s the key to walking in unconditional love. You see the innocence in people no matter what.
Because God created it there, it didn’t go away. It was just covered up by layers of fear that led to dysfunctional fear based behaviors. But a loving vessel knows there’s love inside the person and your power lies in having the faith that it’s there even when the person hasn’t shown it to you. My spiritual power lies in knowing you are a good person even though you may not act like it.
So now each morning when I get up, I remind myself that “today I judge nothing.” We don’t always know people’s story, but we can choose to love in every situation.
