Currents carrying continuous cerulean calm.

Sailing Raja Ampat, Indonesia - May 23rd, 2016.

Surrendering to the flow.

We all have a story. Just like we all have stories.

The biggest story I told myself for years was that my voice had no power. After a traumatic event when I was younger - the story I created from that, was that I was worthless, I wasn’t safe, and my voice had no power. It’s taken me nearly a decade to grasp that they were just stories. They aren’t what happened. What happened was shit - I’m not going to wave my magic writing wand and weave beauty into that. It was shit. But what was worse, were these stories I carried around with me for years after.

Sharing and expressing what has happened, is fundamental. It allows us to release, and can give us a different perspective. This process can lead from a victim mentality, into a Warrior spirit - by acknowledging what has happened and what that has stirred up in us. In being able to see past the veil of a story disguised as what happened - we see subconscious beliefs and thought forms that have secretly been running the show.

It is with this awareness, we have a choice. To hold onto those stories, or to let them go. With perspective and retrospect we can twist these stories into tales of empowerment and healing.

Every day now, I wake up and tell myself my voice has power. Can you feel it? Dripping through the syllables in these sentences?

My voice has power. And so does yours.

This is a small part of a conversation with myself, whilst Sailing Raja Ampat in Indonesia.

The date is May 27, 2016. Every day for those two weeks, I spent half an hour with myself recording daily processes. Being unplugged from the rest of the world, and tuned in to Source meant that downloads were often faster than my hands could record with written words on paper pages.

My favourite place to make these recordings was sitting on top of the mast. Sometimes I click on a random date, and fast forward to a random time. Today this is what started playing, and I felt it necessary to share with you. I hope you find some clarity with these words.

We all have stories. But we don't have to hold onto them. We can let them go.

Sometimes I record conversations with myself.

Sometimes I feel the urge to share them, in hope the listener - you - can get something from them.

This one's from December 30th 2016.

With love,
