Writing, posting, sharing, selling is all a form of DARING.
When I started writing I didn’t think about it very much because I was young. I started my first blog 10 or 11, so early I can’t remember.
We all do brave things without thinking when we are young because it is too early to know what there is to fear, but things change with age and experience.
With time I realized I had to stay anonymous, that it was safer to hide my identity.
Only my trusted friends were allowed to read my thoughts and know it came from me.
And even then I learned to filter it. At one point I had a second secret blog to go even deeper into my inner world.
I thought I needed pen names to feel totally honest…
But after 10 years of hiding, I realized there was more to life than being safe.
Being perfect and correct did not satisfy me.
Living in the dark wasn’t enough. I wasn’t expressed. I wasn’t the person I wanted to become, I wasn’t able to connect with people all the way.
Expression mattered more than ‘safety’ because it began to feel like a form of death.
I didn’t want to risk having a life of regret.
I didn’t want to die with words left in me, a book in me, dreams in me.
I wanted to live FULL OUT.
And it wasn’t just about me.
I slowly realized that writing has enormous power to connect people together—
if I allowed myself that chance to truly be seen, my reader would feel validated in a way, too.
I realized that when I aimed to be perfect, I was striving to be something not human.
It’s like wanting to be a machine.
If I want to look perfect to others, I am contributing to a pattern that only enslaves other people in this same impossible expectation.
But when I show my real humanity, I break the chain.
I free someone else.
With time, I let the layers of secrecy go.
I started writing about my twenties and how I found myself through bad dates and bad decisions.
That extremely honest writing adventure became my book Freedom Year.
I needed to write it, I needed to forgive things I had judged, and then I could finally grow into the next level of myself.
When I published my book at 33, I told my friends a bus could hit me and I’d die happy.
I’d done what I was here on this planet to do.
But I wasn’t truly finished.
Because since then my passion has been rekindled for helping other people to go through the same journey that I went through.
To pull you into the journey that I’m on now.
TO WRITE AND BE FREE
There are always more things to write, new stories to share, new people to connect with, deeper levels of connection to access.
And I’m here for it.
Do you want to do it with me?
To do that, there’s one more layer you have to go through.
You have to let go of needing to be perfect.
Because perfect supposes there is a way to judge perfect.
Perfect supposes that there is judge, an authority, with the power to declare that.
And there is only one way.
But really it is all subjective.
Your perfect and my perfect are different.
Because my perfect is showing up with an open heart and seeing where life takes me.
It’s coming to the page with an intention to help others, and knowing I can help myself at the same time.
It’s baring my soul and admitting my mistakes and human frailties and loving it because I know I am not alone.
It’s taking the steps courageously one by one
and getting the feedback about what resonates
which over and over again continues to validate that I am on the right path.
But confirmation only came after I took a risk and dared to be seen as imperfect.
Now when it comes that confirmation is a bonus, because sharing honestly has become my way of life.
I keep my sparks of passion burning regardless of how it will land with other people,
although I don’t block them out entirely, either.
I feed my flame with faith and courage, and on a certain level I pray and hope other people will like me and what I write.
But even not knowing the answer, there is no mistake that this is what I am supposed to be doing.
I show up imperfectly and I don’t necessarily like the exposure but it is freeing, empowering, and meaningful.
This is what I was born for, what I have created, what I am meant to do.
To show up
To be imperfect
To embrace what humanity truly is
To make a world where we can shine as equals, as imperfect
PERFECTLY the way we are.
Imagine me blowing fairy dust on you.
Now you are it.
It’s your turn.
Do you see the beauty of doing things your way even if it is not ‘perfect’?
