Choices.

Mixed feelings to clarity, label warnings, the choice remains yours.

I know this is a different format than my usual Monday musings, and now you've got a little taste of my quirky, slightly twisted sense of humor. I couldn't help myself because this is exactly how I've been feeling lately, and it tracks with what's happening in the stars.

And yes, I also know that it seems I'm always talking about astrology. Whether or not you believe as I do that what happens in the heavens impacts us here on our little third rock from the sun, I bet my spoof on the new drug Rootitol speaks to some of you.

It's really about authenticity. 

Authenticity is something I talk about often and something that I am conscientious about showing up as in every situation.

What I've noticed recently is that there are areas where I could honor myself better, by speaking up more, by responding in a way that's more supportive to how I'm feeling inside, versus so often considering others' feelings ahead of my own.

At this point in my journey, I'm ready to peel back another layer of this onion.

I've become aware of situations in which I'm ready to speak up for myself more than I have in the past. While it's a slight shift, it's feeling like a massive realization, one that I'm ready to embody and continue growing into.

The bottom line is we all have choice. Choice in how we show up or not. Choice in what we communicate and what we hold back.

It seems I'm ready to root further into this feeling, standing tall in wherever this new behavior leads.

Can you witness the places where you hold back, and the places where maybe you don't?
