Authenticity - The Simple Abundance Path
I’ve spent the last few weeks reading /researching different takes on Authenticity as I have decided that that is what I really want for myself and is ultimately what I’ve been fighting with for the best/worst part of the last 40 years. And it is what I profess my business to be.
I top up my authentic well each day with some “me time” and
a read of “Simple Abundance: A day book of comfort and joy” by Sarah Ban
Breathnach. And I am learning to bring
bigger buckets. I’ve been reading Simple
Abundance for almost 5 years now. It’s
not that I’m a slow reader. It is a really long book, but I try to delve in
every day and indulge myself in some authentic reflection.
I went all the way to East Kilbride to buy this book because
I just had to have it that day. I needed
something to help me through my anxiety and depression and somehow thought this
book held an answer of some kind. Turns
out it held a lot of questions and not all easy. With the help of Sarah Ban Breathnach and
many others , including myself, I have learned to live with my periods of
anxiety and depression. I have slowly
realised that they have been part of my journey back to authenticity – a great
big cry of ‘Really...’ from my Authentic Self.
Todays ‘diamond in the back yard’ was about trusting our
insticts and finding our verve. I heard
a great quote from a Leonard Cohen song ‘we all have cracks, that’s how the
light shows through.’ And so I’m getting
used to my cracks and realising that I’m not crazy – just creative.
My pin for today sums it up really. Yes, Really..
