FINDING YOUR VOICE

So in the beginning I told you about my alter ego “Anayah”. In my opinion she is the true personification of what I want to be when I reach the 2011 destination of my journey. Each day I discover that Anayah is more a part of me than I thought she was. She is me and I am her. It’s just a matter of allowing this part of myself to be. I realize that over the years I’ve hidden this side of myself. Why? Because Anayah is brassy, unconstrained and in your face. She says what she wants and means what she says. She is not a people pleaser; her pleasure derives from self and the ability to remain true and honest.


Lisa on the other hand is a people pleaser. I have taken biting your tongue and swallowing your words to a whole new level. I don’t like shaking things up and on most occasions take in more bulls**t than I put out. Usually to the point that I can’t take anymore and I snap. This is no way to live; this is without a shadow of doubt a weight in my life that has caused me to carry the weight on my body.

People take advantage of you when they don’t know your Voice. They place their demands and expectations upon you when you fail to be heard. When you stand by and allow the people in your life: your family, your friends, your lover, your co-workers etc., to wipe their feet on you, they get used to you being their door mat. You assume the posture of someone who is to be overlooked and discarded. Someone who can be used and misused.

There is something totally wonderful and phabolous about standing your ground and saying what’s on your mind. There is something freeing about NOT allowing the world to have its way with you. There is something completely Liberating about SCREAMING! Leave me alone! Don’t talk to me in that manner! You will Respect ME! Or my all time favorite, GO TO STRAIGHT TO HELL! Whatever the words are that you’ve been holding back in fear that you may offend someone or lose someone dear…..say them before you lose the one person you should hold dearest…YOURSELF!

The Power of Life and Death are on the tip of your Tongue. Give Voice to a New Life and A New Way of Living!

Affirm Daily: I am Wonderfully Phabolous, Beautiful and Strong. I am Successful and Powerful, Resilient and Full of Life…Because of this and so Much More, You will Honor and Respect Me or You will Remove Yourself from My Life!
