A month focused on fear, costumes and candy—what interesting things to focus on. For me, I would rank them in the same order and for different reasons. Fear, a familiar experience and feeling. Lately, I was noticing my fears showed up in not fully embracing and stepping into my full self. As a BIWoC I find that it’s been easy for me to hold back pieces of myself or to not shine a light on all of my gifts—just so I’m not bragging. Well, I am releasing that story. I have begun reflecting on my life. What have I learned? What skilled have I acquired (even if they were born out of a need to survive)? What have I accomplished? What I am I proud of?
These questions have helped me to integrate the scattered pieces that left me feeling disjointed. I am grateful for the sense to be grateful.
