Transformation is a slow
process
Transformation requires authenticity
But I am authentic, right? I ask myself. My friends say I am a sincere person....that must mean I am authentic too.
And so does transformation.
Brene Brown, in the her book, The Gifts of Imperfection, writes about a whole hearted and authentic living. She says, "I am never more courageous than when I am embracing imperfection,, embracing vulnerabilities, and setting boundaries with people in my life."
Gentle, kind and firm.
If you mess up, pick up where you left off.
This is a lifetime, a lifestyle, a lifeways. Perfction is not the goal. Ongoing health is!
Slow and steady wins the race.
What's the race?
A life well lived. A personal journey of wholeness, health in gut, clarity in thinking, joy in the soul.

I am finding myself hungry for that cappuccino, ready to reach for that cinnamon roll, ravenous for that sugar. I feel rumblings of anxiety about doing it right. How do I write a blog about transformation when it is the hardest thing I have
ever done? Perhaps even verging on 'impossible'? MORE than accountability....this blog is demanding authenticity.

Transformation requires authenticity
But I am authentic, right? I ask myself. My friends say I am a sincere person....that must mean I am authentic too.
I know, for sure, that if you grab for things in your external life to make you happy, to comfort and self soothe the gripping fear that visits your psyche more times in a day than you care to admit, then authenticity takes a back seat.
And so does transformation.
I know that each of us can name what we grab for when we want to 'cheek out' or self soothe, ...whether it is comfort foods, alcohol, drugs, shopping, sex, channel surfing, gaming... you fill in the blank...but if that is the primary way we dig deep to be with ourselves in an uncomfortable moment, then authenticity is missing.
To be nobody but myself- in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make me somebody else- means to fight the hardest battle any human can fight, and never stop fighting. e.e.cummings
