Being Me: Week 27

When your brave you empower others around you to be brave too 

Being Me: Week 27 - Integrity

Monthly theme: Bold stripes, bright stars, brave hearts

Last year felt like my year of brave. I was saying yes to everything and daring to really live and enjoy all that I could. This year I feel like I'm standing still. Halfway through the  year and it seems as though I have not moved. 

• I'm standing still yet moving as fast as I can.
• So much is about to change, yet everything is still the same.
• Seeking the brave heart like the one in years past.
• Searching for the person who chased her dreams and pursued her goals.
• Completing them with passion instead of checking off to do's 

Bravery is being scared and doing it anyway. It is deciding that the integrity you have for others requests should be  just as important for yourself. When I make a promise to others I follow through. Yet integrity towards myself is easily excused, there is always something more important.

This month I will hold onto the promises I make to me and begin again with the baby steps I need for change.
