I got a hand analysis done this week. One thing I learned from it is that my life lessons include working with guilt and self-worth issues. I am very familiar with the self-worth issues. In fact, I was at a workshop this weekend and I found a belief that I didn't fully realize before. I found that I believed that it was safer to be invisible. Interesting. . . I saw that it's true, I would rather be in the background. I may even alter what I order at a restaurant or what I wear in order to be less visable to those around me.
Well, it was time to change that belief. My new belief is about the way I choose to enter a room full of people. I throw my arms out (even if it is just a little), and say to myself "Here I am", as if I were royalty. Because I am. I am the daughter of a King. I am a daughter of God. It serves Him, others, and myself to be visible. I have much to offer and so does everyone. We need to make ourselves more available to offer what we have. Hiding out doesn't give us that opportunity as often.
So, I open my drawer full of beautiful scarves that I've been collecting but been too afraid to wear, and I choose one and wear it. It feels a little scary to be seen, but also right. I challenge you to step out of your comfort zone today. Take a risk. Be a little bit more of who you are made visible. It's part of the process of awakening. ~Julie
I know exactly what you mean by preferring to be "invisible". Sometimes it's just easier to blend into the background and watch life move around you than it is to participate in it. I'm impressed you're choosing to be more bold...that's a difficult thing to do. Good luck with making new choices. Love you!

This is great Julie! I am proud of you for this step. You do need to be visible because you do have so much to offer. Your presence is healing for people, and you also have much wisdom to share, and a sense of fun that we all love to experience around you.
