Hi! This note is for you if you’ve ever felt silenced — or have pleased others above yourself - it’s purpose is to encourage us to be ourselves fully.

I actually wrote the note below many moons ago, then tucked it away and forgot about it. When I discovered it again pretty recently, I cried, as I was aware I was still silencing myself.

I’ve since worked to overcome that.

Maybe you relate?

Do You Feel The Call To Be You?

I want to be free 

Free to be me 

To drop all of the reticence and simply be me

Do you feel the call 

The call to be you? 

To drop all of the masks worn and simply be you?

Speak truths out (with firm kindness)

Make choices that suit you

Let’s do this 

Let’s be us

We are free to be now
