Everyone has their own unique story to tell. I’ve been privileged in recent times to meet many new people from wide ranging backgrounds and walks of life. Through these interactions, I’ve been reflecting on how until you begin to speak with someone you really have no idea of their story.
Each of us finds our voice in different ways. For some it’s through singing or playing an instrument, for some through writing stories or poetry. For others it’s expressed in arts and craft, acting in a play, or dance. And there are those who choose to join public speaking clubs or volunteer to MC or host an event. It doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you enjoy it. Each outlet or activity is a means of expressing your innermost self, a way of allowing yourself to be seen and heard.
Then there are those who quietly go about their days gently offering kind words of support or encouragement to others who need it. For some it means plucking up the courage to simply say “no” or to ask for what they want.

When your truth is expressed from the heart, even if you’re finally taking the plunge and standing up for yourself, your words or your actions will be expressed graciously, with respect. If you do not feel brave enough to tell your truth, you can pray or ask for help to find the right words at the right time. You will receive an answer if you are willing to open your heart to hear.
Whatever it is for you and however you express it, your soul longs to be heard. When you do find your inner voice, it comes from the heart – openly, authentically, joyfully, unconditionally and in each moment when you express your true self there is a message meant for someone, a message of hope, of joy, of love.
There are times when I am called upon to write a post ‘right now, in this moment’. Those are the times I know someone needs to hear the words that are given to me on that day, so please feel free to share them.
Your voice deserves to be heard, you have a special message to share and you are here for a reason, you are here to shine your light.
