What happens when you hold onto pain? I'm talking true sadness that comes with the loss of a loved one. Not a lot of people talk about it. They say, I'm fine. The truth is, they think they're fine, but stuffing down pain is hard work. It's like keeping a secret. When people tell me they don't remember things, I automatically believe it's from trauma. I'm not talking life threatening trauma....just little t trauma. This past week, I experienced letting go of some painful memories that I only half remembered. Memories of the loss of my grandmother and her final Christmas on this earthly plane. I jumped in to do my podcast on video. It's on my YouTube if you want to check it out!!

I've never felt shame in this way before. It was really weird for me. To feel a sense of sadness, pain, and even loss around something that was at least 30 years old. I knew I had been peeling my onion down layer by layer, but this one was out of the blue. Shame is a dirty lie we tell ourselves. It's an emotional bond that I no longer wanted.

Listening to our inner voice and the tug from God can be life altering.  Today, we talk about answering God's call in all it's forms.  Rev. Barry Osborne is a retired youth minister from Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church in High Point, NC.  His influence on my life, as well as hundreds of others is still present today.  So much so, we are constantly trying to plan another weekend in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina to gather with him.  He was the person who really introduced me to Christ and helped me develop my relationship with God.        Join the conversation in the private group on Facebook.

What a messy episode.  So, here's what happened.  I THOUGHT I completed all the steps.  I THOUGHT I did all the editing from my first recording done on Zoom.  I am not sure at what point I thought it was all ready to go but when I hopped on FB this morning and there was no episode on my page??  Well....what could have gone wrong?  Let me tell you .....everything. Today, I offer you a REAL episode with my REAL voice.  My REAL opinion.  The Real Slim Shady.  And because I was rushed, it has music the entire time.  I also LISTENED to it before I hit POST.  I am not loving this music in the background.  My ADHD self has trouble with background noise.  YET....this episode is one of my favorites and I may go back and edit it later.  For now, I am pleased with how much I am standing in MY truth today.

Speaking MY truth wasn't always easy for me.....as a matter of fact, just speaking up was a real challenge.  After years of tossing around a zillion ideas, I found myself in a Podcast Boot Camp, making friends, and loving every second of it.  This podcast has been years in the making, and now, I am ready to put my heart on my sleeve and dive into the deep end.  It's real.  It's messy.  It's honest.  It's flat out frightening for me.  So, without further adieu, may I introduce to you....ME!
