In my heart there is a calling to help others. To shine the light I hold inside of me to the
world to show others that it is okay to shine their own lights.
I have received feedback here and there that said, “Well
that’s easy for you to say!” I have had
to step back and ask myself. Why would
this person think that it was easy for me?
It dawned on me that others do not see all of my life. They do not see the emotional roller coaster
I ride. They do not see the challenges I
face externally and internally.
I am here to tell you that everyone has their own struggles
and challenges. No one is perfect. That is what being human is all about. We are flawed beings here to find the best
way to be ourselves and learn to love and depend on one another.
There is this thing going around called being a “light
worker”. As you may have noticed on my
Facebook timeline it says “light bringer” as my occupation. Somewhere deep inside the first one just did
not resonate with me. I am a big kid at
heart, and any term that says I have to work just does not suit me. I bring the light to the world in a fun and
loving way.
The whole point of this blog today is to commit my life to
help others. In any way I can. Fun or not.
(Because even when it is serious I will lighten situations with humor..
I get it from my father.) I learn things
everyday to help myself, and in turn to pass on to others. I will continue on my path, and I hope to
inspire you along yours. All I ask is to
remember there is no perfection here.

It's a defense mechanism, I have that one too. When I get antsy about all the bullshit in the world and I see that my smaller efforts aren't doing enough to make a decent dent? I volunteer somewhere. Immediate results trump lofty ideals every time. You sound antsy. The new v.a. outpatient place is gonna be awesome. I can't WAIT to hear terrible war stories while I'm getting a dose of good-deed-ery!
ReplyDeleteI didn't mean to sound antsy I was actually really inspired! :o)
DeleteI would get frustrated when people would tell me things were easy for me.. .making friends, having fun, working out.... I would always defend myself saying "you don't know what I've done/been through... yada yada yada". Which I'm sure is what it sounded like to everyone.
ReplyDeleteWe see what is in front of us, and more often than not we only care about ourselves and our issues. If it looks easy to them, good. Means you're doing something right for you.
Love ya' girl! Keep rocking it!
Thanks! Love you too!
