Facing your fears isn't easy.  Then again, no one said it would be!  That has to be one of  the most grossly under-stated lines ... Ever !   And I speak from experience! If you been following my blog for the last few months, you already know that one of my fears is standing out -- being seen and heard.  Hard to believe!  I know! But it's true!    However, I am one of these people who prefer to face their fears.  Okay, truthfully -- I face them after a few bouts of holding my breath, making myself sick,  running and hiding, ditching and dodging and all that stuff like that there!   But eventually, I do pull myself together and look my fear right in the eye.  My fears of being seen and heard stems from my childhood and was compounded throughout the years through a rather interesting series of events.   To make a rather long story short -- each and every time I spoke up, made myself visible ... I was punishe...

 "The act of forgiveness is not the condoning of any action that causes pain, it is the refusal to carry the pain inflicted by that action." ~Grandmother to The Oracle, Children of the Luminaries: Book III~The Day of Reckoning Long ago, when I had asked about forgiveness, the answer I received was simplistic in nature. Though it is nothing new, the message bears repeating. When we forgive, we are not condoning the action that caused us pain.  On the contrary! When we forgive -- we are in refusing to carry any and all pain inflicted by that action . A Hard Habit To Break  As human experiencers, we develop a wide variety of habits. No greater habit have any of us than the holding on to pain. It doesn't matter how long ago it was inflicted, it doesn't matter how far we have come in our conscious awareness ... our habit of holding on to our pain is ever present.  It is a habit that we hold near & dear to our collective hearts.  We hold on to our...

"...The greatest danger facing us is ourselves, and irrational fear of the unknown. But there's no such thing as 'the unknown,' only things temporarily hidden, temporarily not understood."   - Captain Kirk, Star Trek *~*~*~*  As more and more of the human race awaken from their long soul slumber, we all begin to experience back to back shifts of consciousness. Long gone are the days when those shifts occurred once every few months or years! Now it's literally every other day!  As those shifts occur -- we collectively have this knee-jerk reaction  to pull back and go into hiding.  And there's a reason for that.  As most of you are aware, Ego sees change-- any change -- as a threat! Quick to respond, Ego's first reaction is to talk you into becoming invisible, so as to not be seen by the  perceived enemy.   And if Ego can't get you to comply -- then it begins using guilt, shame, and other various fears. It sets out to ...

In this blog series, I will be sharing snippets from my personal  journey into the fears of being visible ... of standing out! Julia *~*~*~* ~ Challenges that arise do so in order to push you out of your comfort zone.~ Antari For those who fear being visible -- of standing out ... the challenges can be more than a little uncomfortable--they can be downright crippling at times!    Over the years, despite, or rather in spite of , my numerous personal challenges ... I've managed to acquire the reputation of being personable,  out-going and out-spoken.    A real people person.  A natural born actress whose stage is anywhere she is standing.  Who ... when she walks into a room, brings her own spotlight! I'll admit that over the years,  I've developed  this knack for entertaining folks wherever I find myself.   Never having a loss for words, I  can hold a conversation with anyone. And I do mea...
