A true story about finding courage to speak your truth, and how withholding the truth can alter destiny ...
When I was in my early 20’s I was madly in love for the first time. But, the young man I was wanted to marry was given an opportunity to work abroad for 6 months, earning 4X his normal income
He asked me what he should do
My heart cried out, wanting to say ‘Don’t go! Please stay with me’. But, I didn’t want to get in the way of such an amazing career opportunity, thinking that he might later resent me for it
So, instead of saying what was in my heart, allowing him to make his decision with all the facts present, I reverted to the safety of detached logic. I told him “If it were me, I wouldn’t let anyone get in the way of my career”
So he left, not knowing how I truly felt about him or how much his departure was hurting me
A few years later, a male friend pointed out how unfair that was to the man I loved, and how my silence had likely changed our destinies. He told me that by withholding my true feelings, I had actually manipulated the outcome, because my lover had made his choice based on mis-information
Well, that was certainly a burden of karma I had not fully realized. I vowed to always have the courage to be honest about my feelings
Years later, on my birthday, I ran into my old lover at the grocery store. By then he was married and had 2 children. But, I had never married, because I still loved this man
Under florescent lights, with crates of apples and oranges between us, I told him exactly how I felt about him. He didn’t say a word
I left feeling free and unburdened for the first time in 15 years. I wished him love and happiness … and I went on to find my own
10 years later he left his wife. He searched for me for more than a year. When he finally found me, he asked me to marry him. Turns out he had loved me all that time, carrying a burden of silence, too. We had 14 amazing years together before we parted forever
The words you’ve left unspoken gather energy in your heart and body. Emotions, especially love, are not meant to be bottled up as though they are something of which we should be ashamed. Love is meant to be expressed, shared, and elevated to joy and gratitude
If you were to die tomorrow, what words do you have in your heart that are left unspoken? What is the one thing you would want someone to know? Where in your life do you need to speak from the heart?
You have that opportunity now. Will you take it?
It is not always easy to say how we really feel. Fear of shame, rejection, hurting someone, or being misunderstood causes us to hold back, play emotional games, or to say only what we think the other person wants to hear. But, speaking with truth and honesty releases the burden of silence and the karma that accompanies that silence and misunderstanding. It's not up to you what a person chooses to do with your truth
It takes great integrity to say how you really feel without an ulterior motive. To speak from a place of letting go of what is in your heart, cutting the chord of karma that lies within the silence or miscommunication, so that you can move forward unencumbered, with your soul free
Destiny and magic take over when wrongs are made right. In giving that gift of truth and honesty, you add something valuable, enlightening, and ultimately wonderful to the other person’s life, even if it is painful, or might not be what they want to hear
Freedom opens up for both of you. In that freedom, miracles and healing can happen. Destiny finally finds its mark ... though it isn't always what you had anticipated
Need a little assistance to be brave? Did you know that the word 'courage' is derived from 'cours' which means to speak from the heart!

HEART SPEAK ~ BRAVE NEW FUTURE ~ COURAGE ~ UNREQUITED LOVE HEAL
Author's Postscript: For followers of astrology, Venus goes retrograde in Leo on the 23rd of July until the 8th of September. FYI: Venus is the brightest star in the western sky right now
Venus' electromagnetic field and gravitational pull affects the heart and brain, thereby stirring our desires, longings, feelings of love, and how we seek emotional satisfaction. When retrograde (the illusion of a planet moving backward through the sky) its skewed heightened influence leads us back into the past. We become more introspective about our true feelings so we can connect more consciously with our true heart's desires
