We’re born on this planet and we forget who we really are. As babies we’re born with the energy of pure unconditional love, our Spirit's glowing. And then we get older and learn our labels: You’re a poor girl, born in Georgia, a Christian, a Vegetarian, etc. We’re placed in these boxes and grow up with these beliefs, and over time, the outer structures define our Reality as we try to define ourself in the world. 

    Then we may have disagreements, because we realize people have different beliefs, and we don’t understand them and we become afraid. What happened to that pure unconditional love and trust we had as a child? It's SQUISHED! And then one day you may wake up and ask, Who am i? Because you don’t identify with the labels and you know there’s something more. Have you experienced this? 

    It was when I started eating meat. I was raised vegetarian. One day when I was 30ish I went to my chiropractor and he told me if I started eating red meat most of my symptoms would go away. I was so Angry! I did Not want to eat red meat, that wasn't who I was!

    The next day, I calmed down and realized, meat doesn't define WHO I Am, it’s a choice. I wanted to feel better, so why can’t I redefine myself? I’m an adult and feed myself now! So I called my sister in law- who’s the best chef ever, and said I needed help eating meat. She laughed and I went over there and we made sliders. They were SCRUMPTIOUS! I'd realized it's OK to redefine myself, to trust my body and what it needs in different times of my life. 

    You're allowed to redefine yourself. The labels you're born into give you a place in this world, a box to check, but they’re temporary. And in the moments you don’t understand another or go into fear or anger, remember they're coming from their own boxes. I went from anger to my chiropractor to gratitude, because I did feel better. 

    Remember this, You are Spirit. You are that unconditional love and purity that you started out with as a baby- Put your hand on your heart and Breathe into that love that’s in your heart. Give yourself grace. Give others grace. And one person at a time, humanity will remember Love. 

    Have a Happy 4th of July weekend!
