OCTOBER 2013

News  

October heralds the time of year when we begin to nestle in and prepare for the coming cooler weather; when seeing pumpkins and the spectacle of fall color all around delights and amazes us! It is, by far, one of my favorite months. 

 

October is also the time of Halloween festivities, the tradition of "all Hallow's Eve" a time of dressing up and playing a part, hiding behind the mask and taking on a role.

As a child I loved to dress up and hide behind my costume, I could be anyone or anything and I was accepted just as I appeared. Since it never felt safe to be me, dressing up and trying on different personalities and roles was fun and very safe. 

 

We all wear masks or costumes, sometimes for an hour, a day or a lifetime, to hide who we are from the ridicule and criticism of others - we want to be safe and secure. We have come to believe that who we really are is not enough, we are afraid we will be taken advantage of, hurt or worse. We end up living only a fraction of the life we could live if we were free to fully express who we really are underneath the costume, the mask. 

 

If you were free to be the person you know that you are underneath the layers of protection, who would you be?  What would you accomplish? Would you still be doing what you are doing? Would you still have the same friends, spouse, and relationships? Or have you been hidden from yourself for so long that you can't even remember? How many layers have you built up over your lifetime or lifetimes? How many layers have you already peeled away? How many remain? 

 

The first time I consciously began to peel away the layers of self-hatred, self-loathing, self- betrayal, I uncovered a "me" that was none of the things I thought I was.  I found that the voice I had been hearing all of my life, the voice I thought was mine, the voice in my head, was not even mine - it was many voices. Voices of well meaning, well intentioned people who for whatever reason felt it necessary to project their beliefs and ideas of who I was on me and I, needing to be loved, gladly took it on and made it mine. 

 

As I peeled open each layer I discovered small sacred bits of me. Just like a giant puzzle I began to recover and rediscover all of my beautiful, wonderful, quirky bits
and began to put myself back together. Sometimes a part of me would burst forth and scare me and I would hurry to bury it once again. Until I could see it for what it was, a frightened and scared little me, and realize that I was reacting with judgment, the old habitual voices rerunning. You know those things others would say because they didn't know what or how to experience us. Things like, "You are too much" or "you're too loud." Other times a part of me that was so beautiful, sweet, and kind would be revealed, and it would bring me to tears of sadness and joy. 

 

As the years passed, seasons have come and gone, I have uncovered layer upon layer of parts and bits of me and I continue to uncover them even today. The exciting thing is that with each new bit comes a new discovery of my brilliance, creativity, passion, kindness, joy, love-ability, fun, beauty and perfection!  I have learned that there is no one, really, no one that is more important than the ME buried beneath the layers.  I am kind, gentle, loving and beautiful. As I continue to allow myself to be seen, in all of my glory, living my authentic life, I am able to bring so much more to the world and to those around me. I am changing the world. I am able to be a safe harbor and a mirror, mirroring back to those around me their own beauty, brilliance and lovability and that feels amazing! As I change I can be the guide, the way-shower for others to discover themselves. And it all starts with me finding ME! 

 

Are willing to risk being seen for who you really are in order to regain ALL of who you are?
