Free to Be

"Living your truth often means disappointing the expectations of others. That's okay. Let them come to expect someone different, someone transformed. Let them come to expect your fierce commitment to being real. Let them come to expect your inability to compromise yourself for the benefit of those who are more comfortable when you're small. You don't need to change yourself to meet the world's expectations. The world will figure out a way to love you as you are. Or not. Either way, you're free." ~Scott Stabile~

Good afternoon dear ones. Those that know me, and my family, know that I have son who has Autism. Raising him may have been a struggle, but in many ways it was an enormous blessing. He has taught me so many things about living, that I cannot imagine having him any other way. His love of arachnids and insects, has taught me that all living things deserve a chance to be here. His ability to see the beauty in other things creepy crawly has shown me that beauty is truly everywhere, one just has to be willing to see it. He lives his truth every day and no matter what someone else might think, he continues to be himself.

Anyone who has known, been raised with, or has raised a child with Autism, Downs, or other condition that is considered 'special needs' knows what wonderful spirits they have. They love with all that they are, and help us see the world through different eyes. My hope is that one day the world will be able to truly see the souls they possess, and live life as they do. All children, and adults, should be able be happy for no reason, laugh until their stomach hurts, and find pure joy in living their best life.

Living your truth is not always an easy thing to do, especially in today's world. They tell you... 'Be yourself', but follow it with, 'Not like that'. However, if you can learn to be who you truly are without worrying what someone else thinks of you, then my loves you have it made. You are free to be all that you were born to be, and let your beautiful soul be seen.

Be good to yourselves, and one another my loves. Find your truth and live it with all that you are. Life is too short for anything else. Be Kind, Be Peace, and Be Love. Yesterday is past and tomorrow isn't promised. Live and love for today. - Live - Laugh - Love - Namaste
