We are living in unprecedented times where it seems like all the rules have gone out the window.  We are now living in a time of two exact opposite realities and it seems to be getting harder and harder to keep that balance.  We try to be positive and uplifting while also acknowledging that there are some really bad things happening.  I can truly say I have never seen anything like it in my life.

It seems each and every day brings about different and new challenges.  Yes, there are good things happening everyday and we need to celebrate them.  However, we also have to acknowledge and process all the sad things that are going on around us.  The key is to give yourself permission to be human, give yourself permission to process it all, and allow yourself time to find the balance with all of it.

For as long as I could remember there has always been what I like to call a “gray” area  (that place where we could all come together even when we didn’t agree with one another).  Sadly those days are long gone.  Now we live in a world where everything is so black and white.  If you are positive then you are not acknowledging those who are hurting.  If you talk about the struggles people are facing then you are not being positive enough.  Some days I just truly feel like people have completely lost their minds!  Newsflash… you can be positive and share the good things that are happening to you while also having compassion for those around you that maybe suffering.  Newsflash… addressing the hurt and pain that is out there does not make you a negative person.  

I tell you some days I just wish I could just grab the entire world by the hand sit them down and say:

Okay folks listen up!  

First of all, we really REALLY need to get our shit together (yes I would say shit).  We have got to realize what the lessons of 2020 are so we can finally move on from all of this!  We need to start coming TOGETHER!  We need to live in the gray and find common ground!  You are not 100% right, I am not 100% right, your family, your neighbor, your co-worker, etc…non of them are 100% right!  

Second, (now that we have established that NO one and I mean NO one is perfect) maybe we can stop telling each other what to do.  Maybe just maybe we could allow people to make their own choice.  Maybe we could allow each other to just live our lives without all the unsolicited advise. If only everyone would focus on cleaning their own house.  OMG, how amazing would the world be.  And here is a little tip, if your life was so perfect you would be too busy enjoying it and you wouldn’t have any time to be telling everyone else what they should be doing (yes, I would say that).

Third (and at this point I would probably step back so no one punched me in the face), we need to start taking responsibility for our own damn lives (yes I would say damn)!  Everything is not someone elses fault.  I am really sorry if that offends you but someone needs to start speaking up and teaching you how to take your power back!  If you don’t like your job, quit it!  If you are in a bad relationship, get out of it.  If you don’t like how you feel, do something to change it.  If you don’t know how to change go find someone to help you (a professional and NOT the person that you NEVER met on facebook that has NO credentials).  I would say WAKE UP PEOPLE for the love of God wake up!  You are allowing people to take your power away!  You are so much more amazing than you even know!  

Everyday I am listening to stories of people who aren’t talking to their long time friend or disowned a family member over a political issue.  Have we all lost our minds?  Seriously, you are allowing differences of opinions to ruin your families?  Do you not see how insane that is?

Please don’t waste your time sending me your nasty emails on how dare I and I don’t understand.  I don’t read them.  I just delete them.  Why?  Because I have been in the healing field long enough to know that if you are that angered by something I wrote it is because it hit something really really deep inside of you and that has NOTHING to do with me.  By me responding I am just giving you an excuse to stay distracted and place the blame elsewhere rather than you getting help to deal with whatever the issue is.  Your welcome!

Finally, I would give each and every person (even the ones I didn’t agree with) a GIANT hug!  I would tell them I wish them the courage follow their dreams, the strength to overcome obstacles, the belief that they are deserving of living a wonderful life filled with blessings and abundance, and enough love to share it with everyone they know!  But I can’t sit the world down so I will just share it with all of you who are reading this!  

Be kind to yourself.  Be patient with yourself.  Be kind to others.  Be patient with others.  Keep your circle small and the love flowing from your heart enormous!
