This is a very messy topic for me.
Because of my family history, I grew up with no boundaries.
Physical. Emotional. Or Mental.
This has been a long standing wound. And I still fail to navigate it.
I used to tell anyone who would listen what had happened. What was happening. What was happening in that very moment.
Deep.
Down inside of me.
I set myself up.
For pain and betrayal.
So for me, honesty is not the very best policy.
I am honest with the people who I trust and feel won’t judge me…
you all…
here.
I am not about to announce to all those other people that I am an absolute nut job.
So….
What is honesty and what does it mean to be honest?
Day one.
And done.
Thanks be to
God.
Yes, I tend to be too honest for my own good. Just try being honest with yourself first, everything else will follow.

Yes. Most important to be that with ourselves… first.

Sometimes I think we create our own lies to cope or allow bad behavior. I have learned it is important to be honest with ourselves or we can never be real with others. Sometimes honesty reveals out original wickedness. In fact, I have begun to say this to myself – I allow myself to speak the truth to myself and then I say to myself “you wicked woman.” Then I reach out to God for forgiveness. When I say wicked I don’t necessarily mean “wicked witch evil acts”…I simply mean the original sin, the flesh nature, the world in me – comes out so obnoxiously. Anyway…here is to your new year and your continued life healing. May your pilgrimage bring you joy and bless our God.
