Authenticity. . . . Who's got it?

A little something I have been thinking of lately, Authenticity.  This is absolutely authentic, and I appreciate the reminder to be true to myself, my philosophies, my teachings, my learnings, my instincts, but most of all, my passions.

I am a dancer through and through, followed by a being a teacher and a healer.  I know now how to communicate through my body, my mind, my soul, and especially my words.  I teach what I teach because I am passionate about sharing what I know, what I feel, and what I've experienced.

I have been noticing lately that I may be surrounded in certain areas with others who may not be as authentic as they once were portraying and it is rather heart breaking.  So with this new chapter of mine coming up where a few things need to be put on hold for a couple months, I can only hope that those who have given me their word, their bond live up to their end of the deal. . . . . I can only hope that what I was working for and towards will continue when it is time for me to be back in the classroom.  I know that there will be a lot of evolution while I am attending to my wee baby, but I also want to remind myself and others that just because this chapter of mommy hood is upon us, do not let other's stories get in your way, other's heart ache, other's opinions or doubts, or fears come between you and what you know you are capable of.

Deep down inside we know what is right and what is wrong.
Deep down inside we know what our strengths are and what our weaknesses are.
Deep down inside we know if we are hurting someone's feelings, heart, or soul.
Deep down inside we just know. . . . . . .
