Womanhood…Wednesday…on worth…and what helps me:
Sometimes there is a deep ache
Because maybe just maybe we are doing things the way
other people do them
because we think we must
And there’s an inner wrestling
Because we feel dishonest
When that happens to me
I know it’s time to pause
Time to wrap my arms around my heart
And figure out what…
What I need
And how I need it
And simply to allow this?
Is me knowing and defending the precious worth of my uniqueness.
Knowing what we need and yearn for and allowing ourselves hear and honor that
Is so vital for all honesty
And whether or not we can give ourselves what we need?
That’s something else entirely.
Both matter
But most of all
Is the gentle quiet loving of ourselves that allows our listening for what we are needing most of all.
Whatever it is
Whatever the situation
The giving ourselves moments to listen
Gives breath to the very thing that’s welling up within
Like a little one tugging at a mama’s skirt saying ‘feed me now’…
Worth to me begins in thought
With how we hug up our precious hearts.
And especially when no one else talks about or seems to need the very thing the very way the very moment you’re seeking it…
Look nowhere else but within
Own your worth to roll up all thought sleeves and listen
And allow what you hear
Allow it take hold
Listen to and discerning and owning what you hear of what you need matters so so so much.
How you go about giving it to yourself is another thing entirely
You may not be able to now
You may not have been able to ever
But simply giving voice to
The very thing you know you need within you
Matters so so so so much
It’s like giving breath and allowing life to the very who you are.
Love wants you to exude
Love is allowing each element of precious you
We must in turn then cherish and hug her up
And listening to our heart of hearts is how I begin to defend my worth.

The following video I share as simply one tender way…
I’ve resolved to own what I need day by day
Worth is not just a monetary management thing
But I was doing some accounting the other day I wanted to share these insights with you here.

What you can do for you:
If you don’t know how to sift your heart for what you need…
If you don’t feel allowed to ever ask your heart or listen to it…
If you want to know how to allow who you are…
Just try to take a few moments and face thought and ask yourself (no one has to know):
“What do I need?”
“What will help me most right now?”
Sometimes just allowing ourselves ask that question is all we need to own our worth in that moment.
Ask the question again and again.
And keep asking it.
And when the inner bigger wants to say you’re not allowed to ask it or answer it, that’s the voice of fear you can refuse to respond to.
If you can’t do it on your own
Or you want some more thought tools so you feel stronger and able to own your worth more,
I welcome hearing from you and we can share heart to heart…
And I’ll share what’s helped me time and again to own my worth and allow what I need at that moment then.
Thank you for giving this a listen and read and view.
I welcome and always look forward to hearing from you.
My heart to yours
