Find Your Voice...

And speak clearly and with love.

I attended my first Toastmasters meeting last night and was in awe of how I felt when I stood up to present. I felt empowered! I did not concern myself with how my voice was received by others nor did I judge what was flowing forward.  I was aware what I had to say was important to me as well as I was sharing my heart with others. I did not need everyone to agree with what I shared or resonate with the message leading me to a feeling of liberation and empowerment.

The moment I stood up from my seat to present I made the decision to reside in my truth and my heart. From this space, I felt complete peace, my words flowed with the essence of water flowing and I spoke my truth. Simple. I had created all these stories that speaking my voice in front of others would be vulnerable, scary and not really possible without shaking or turning red. I stood in my courage and embraced my truth. I am grateful to myself for having the courage to show up even if it was a small step that turned out to be a large one in the end.

I encourage all of you to find your voice, speak your voice and know it does not matter how it is received as long as you are sharing with the intention of love and truth. Your truth may or may not be the truth of another but the gift is in sharing yourself with them.
