Have you ever had an experience where you’ve been looking for something and it’s been right under you nose the whole time, but you just couldn’t see it? That’s exactly what happened to me.

A couple months ago I saw online the phrase “speak your truth”. I liked it enough that I made a mental note of it. Then in December when I was making the stamped jewelry and decided to practice on a blank charm for myself the thought “speak your truth” came to my mind once again, but when I went to stamp it on “live” popped in my head and with a smile I began to work on my charm “live your truth” knowing that’s exactly what I needed.

“do I think too much?”
“you don’t think too much, you do too little.”

That was a blurb from the conversation I had with Adam last Thursday. After he said it I had to sit with it for a minute, knowing he was dead on, I had to internalize it myself. Deep breathe. Yes, he was right. I do not put into action all the things I think about. I do do too little.

I think over the past five plus years of blogging I’ve spoken my truth. I’ve tried to do my best at sharing the woman I am–the good, the bad, the crazy, & the sane. I share what I believe, my struggles, my fears, my art, & my triumphs. I tell you what I love, what I want, & what I need. Admittedly you’re not getting every piece, there is a filter, but that is a post for another day. Suffice it to say, if you read my blog you should get a clear picture of the workings of my mind, who I am, what I’m about, and the woman I want to be.

but
and it’s a very big but—

Talk is cheap. I could talk till I’m out of breath and then some, but talking never got me anywhere. Well, that’s not being entirely fair. I think talking/thinking is the beginning, but once you do the work to gain the knowledge the next step is action. We need to take what we’ve learned and apply it. Unfortunately that’s the hardest part and the part I seem to struggle with the most. It’s the reason I chose live and do all those years ago because I knew it’s what I needed to improve and if I am true about who I am it’s still something I struggle with.

I have all these thoughts in my head (you get to read some of them)—ideas, things I want to try, things I want to improve. I think about what I can do to make it happen, I write about it, talk to others about it, but for whatever reason—fear, laziness, etc., I don’t really care the excuse, the point is—I never get around to following through with it. If my dreams don’t come true I only have me to blame and I’m not okay with that.

-Life is to be enjoyed so I’m going to be present in everything i do.
-Being grateful changes our attitude so I’m doing my daily gratitude journal.
-I love creating so I’m going to have more projects.
-Knowledge is power, but action is more so I’m going to do what I know.
-Where there is light there can be no darkness so I’m focusing on the light.
