Taking Inventory...Reflections on Myself

By Lori Lines

Though I work with the light, I'm not one of those dippy rainbow, unicorn, miss merry sunshine, trying to climb the heap, people.  I'm real.  I'm truthful.  I've found inner happiness but sometimes lose sight of it when I'm triggered.  When this happens, I see it as a message there's something in me that needs transcendence.  I know there's evil in the world, of many variations, and I acknowledge it and respect it for what it is. I understand why it's there.  Sometimes I'm outraged by it, sometimes I just pray for it.  I am empowered and my work is empowering. I do not foster dependency and my worth does not hinge on who likes me or not.  I am a gentle, compassionate soul on the inside.  I love all, yet I've lived a life that has taught me strong boundaries and self-respect in order to protect my own energy, all the while teaching others to do the same.  

There are a handful of people I call friends because they love me and they understand me.  They are also kindred spirits who are aware of their own energy and they take responsibility for themselves and what they bring to the table.  I say all this to say that, if you ask me, I will tell you the truth as I see it.  So, unless you're prepared, please don't ask.  My age and life experiences have shown, too, that playing political games for self-promotion, of any kind, never ensures long-standing success.  The only thing that proves long-standing success is self-wisdom, humility, seeking and standing in truth, integrity, and a will to go within and heal self-limiting thoughts, actions, words and deeds.  Never covertly exploiting or using another for gain of any kind.  

Love y'all.  May peace be with you.

In love and truth,

Lori
