Drop the Excuses by Alexandra Boos
If we are willing to listen, I believe that there are earth angels with messages to help guide us on our journey through life. I have not written an article in a long time but lately I have been hearing the same theme: write. The last few years have been challenging on a personal level and every time I tried to express myself through the written word, all my thoughts came out with so much anger. My lack of forgiveness surrounding my divorce feels as if poison was coursing through my veins and seeping out my fingertips as they hit the keyboard. I am an empowerment writer rendered powerless by my own anger. I let my emotional pain rob me of my belief in myself thus stopping my voice and creative expression. Unfortunately, my behavior is common. How often do people stop themselves from showing up in life because of feelings of not being enough? Wrapping excuses around us like a protective mantel, it is easy to play small.
