Forgive me for not writing after such a long time. I know how powerful words are and I take this power very seriously.

Forgive me for my lack of believing in my ability to harness this power. My intent with my gift is to encourage and inspire but my fears cause me to imagine I could hurt others with this strong passion. I have come to understand that my passion must come first and that others must confront their own insecurities of who I am becoming.

Forgive me for not having the courage to continue on my path. In writing this blog, it was my original intent to come out of my cave and no longer hide in the dark wondering what my purpose is but I did continue to wonder looking for the easy path to walk. I have come to understand the easy path is not mine to walk. I understand now that all the leadership books I have read, seminars, courses, and workshops I attended have not gone to waste as I once believed. Now through Spirit, I must forge my own path to lead me where I must go.

Forgive me for not asking for help when I lost sight of my path. As time passed, darkness (the unknown) loomed overhead and I began to lose sight of my path. I did not ask for any assistance because mostly I did not know what to ask for. I have come to understand that I need not know what to ask for; all I need to do is ask.

Forgive me for my lack of Faith in The Power that created me. In my lack of knowing my Purpose, do I not question my own creation? In questioning my own creation, how can I Believe and have Faith in The Power that created me for Purpose? If there is no reason for my creation, then am I only here to take up space? If I am taking up space, then is it not better for me to hide quietly, take as little as possible, and ask for nothing?

No!

I have come to know that my Purpose is to create light on my path and when it shines plenty it will light the paths of others. I understand now the tiniest spark – an ear to listen, a hand to hold, or a smile of encouragement – can light the darkest moments on our paths. I understand now when one has a passion, light is created. When that light shines plenty, there is no hiding quietly. I understand now with passion, there is happiness and joy; very powerful gifts in forging the path ahead. I understand now when the path is not clear and darkness looms over it; ask for another’s light, for this too shall pass.
