So the story begins. Hello to all my followers and those who have stumbled across my blog. This has been a long time coming for me and writing has always been a secret passion of mine (and a therapeutic tool at most). In recent months I have jumped leaps and bounds over barriers that pushed me away from being who I truly am. Who is that exactly? I am still trying to figure that out, as most of us are.
Throughout this blogging journey I hope everyone will get to know me better, until then enjoy reading :)
While on a family trip to the bookstore, I passed a book called
The Power by Rhonda Byrne, author of
The Secret. Recognizing the authors name I picked it up and took a look. Needless to say, I started reading it...
Rhonda writes, "love is the force that moves you". She goes on to explain everything you want to be, do or have comes from love. Without love you wouldn't move. There would be no positive force to propel you to get up in the morning, to work, play, sing, dance or do anything at all. Sounds to me like we become paralyzed without love.
What's her problem? Why don't they just be happy?
How can we expect anyone to be happy if there is no Love? How can we expect anyone to be happy if they do not love themselves? It's impossible.
I call this the first chapter because this is a new chapter of my life. One where I begin to love myself first. For years I have been living in the shadows of others. Do what I think makes them happy. At the end of the day I was not happy. All the while I was trying to make others happy I forgot about myself. Once I sat back and took a look at who I
really was, I realized I was no longer, if ever, in love with myself. I was unable to cope with my feelings and unable to be true to myself. The darkness lingered over me and that is when I began to stand for change.
I love myself. Just like any other relationship, I am a work in progress. Sometimes I fight with myself, then forgive myself. Hell, I even honour myself when I have done something good, for example I rewarded myself with a recent trip to North Carolina after completed my undergraduate degree in Social Work at the University of Windsor. I love myself and it shows. The relationships with my husband and children have improved, we are more connected and loving of one another.
This is what brought me to create Mindful Energy.ca, where I share my passion, educating others and empowering them to love themselves. I believe in love and the power of the mind. I want to share this with the world.
Stay tuned !!!
With Love,
Heather
