Heightened Emotions Are My Norm

For those of you who can relate, I am a highly sensitive soul.  I feel fully so many emotions not only from within myself, but from all who surround me as well.  I feel like having this sometimes seemingly heavy curse is in all actuality, a grand gift.  One that enables me to connect closely not only with all that I am, but all who cross my path.

Growing up...especially in my early days...(the days before one even knows what judgement is)  I could easily have been described as highly dramatic.  Always telling stories, and fully filling them with these emotions that were so intense to me.  We actually have...or had (it's currently missing) a home video which displayed quit epically the typical over dramatization, which was my norm.  The video showed my little brother coming up and pushing me in my stomach as I showed off my dancing abilities (which were far from graceful).  It is so easy to tell in the video that A. I'm certainly over-compensating, because I'm a tad off cue, and B. that I was really great at displaying drama, because it is beyond hilarious. 

Anywho.. I wanted to share this because this blog is to be for inspiration...through both dark and light topics.  And coming from a highly sensitive place, my writing may come through as intense or dramatic in which ever way the emotions are flowing. 

I wanted to remind people that:

  ~It is okay to stand out amongst the crowd, to be different~

~to follow your heart~

(For I forgot these in my young vulnerable adolescent years, and became a shell of the person I was designed to be)  I wanted to remind you that being over dramatic isn't always a cry from people saying "look at Me".  Sometimes it's a way to release highly intense emotions.  Other times it's a result of someone being highly passionate about the message they are trying to get across to others.  I also wanted my fellow sensitive soul sisters and brothers, who might be trying to stifle their big boisterous voices (as I have for too long) to know:

~It is more than okay to display all that you are and all that you feel within, out into this world~

~To not be afraid to share your true self with those around you~

 ~Your voice, your words, your displays of life are exactly what this world needs today~

My intention through this blog is to create a space that no matter what state you enter it, you are always leaving it feeling lighter...brighter...and a little more balanced than you were before.

So if you have an extra moment in your week, I invite you to join me for A Positive Perspective! 

I'm confident you will have more to gain in the few minutes you spend here, than the loss of those few minutes you are trading for an inspiring, uplifting experience!

Love, Hugs, & Sunshine!
