Hey everyone! Thanks for tuning in and taking the time to listen! You guys are getting the RAW, uncut, unfiltered, unedited version of me in this episode! There’s a backstory on my WHY of choosing to publish this specific unedited version as my first audio podcast episode. My WHY explains how I want to be remembered. The backstory: This first episode was literally me taking a walk and recording random thoughts in my voice memo app. This was recorded on 10.28.2020 during the Covid-19 Global Pandemic, right before 2020’s Election Day. During a time when women were fighting for their rights, which is why I mentioned abortion in my scattered thoughts. The #BlackLivesMatter Movement was, and still is dealing with SO much racial injustice and people still turn a blind eye. When I referenced Christian’s, I was referring to the hypocrisy. I was teaching, not judging or shaming. “Love Thy Neighbor” means loving everyone unconditionally, including the sinners. Everyone is a sinner, including Christians. The Bible even says that all sin is equally bad. So don’t be a hypocrite. Instead, love thy neighbor!Love thy Atheist neighbor, love thy racist neighbor, love thy addicted neighbor, love thy gay neighbor, the entire LGBTQ community neighbors! It needed to be said, and I felt convicted to say something especially as a “Christian” myself. I had no intention of sharing or posting it, or even uploading it to my FIRST audio podcast. I intended to create an edited version before posting this. But I changed my mind, because I want to be remembered as someone who speaks up about what I believe in! I’m speaking off the cuff, rambling, sleep deprived, hangry, and dealing with health issues. It wasn’t perfect. See, that’s the point though! I’m not perfect! I was in my element. This content is RAW, uncut, unfiltered, unedited and that’s what’s most important to me. I thought that what I said in this raw, uncut, unfiltered, unedited version is quite profound! My honesty, passion, wisdom and authenticity speak volumes. These are the reasons I decided to publish it, and not re-do or edit anything. Going forward, I plan to create content where I can calmly elaborate on these topics and many other topics in a more organized way. I can’t promise it’ll always be that way. I’m spontaneous, passionate, creative, random, playful, serious and I’m constantly changing and evolving. In fact, I promise NO PROMISES. I want to be remembered as someone who was, is, and will always be authentic, transparent, real, honest, and unapologetic about who I am. My integrity is something that I value and take seriously. Being honest is part of my integrity. I refuse to compromise my integrity for anything or anyone. I refuse to dim my light. I refuse to water down the truth in my messages just to make people feel more comfortable. I refuse to be silenced. I also refuse to remain silent any longer. I commit wholeheartedly to speaking my truth, and staying true to myself. Instead of being loyal to everyone besides myself, I’m choosing to be loyal to ME for the first time. I choose and commit wholeheartedly to being loving and loyal to myself going forward. My character matters more to me than what others think of me, or say about me. I don’t care what anyone thinks of me. As long as I’m staying true to myself, then that’s ALL that matters at the end of the day. If someone can’t handle my truth, or authenticity, it’s not my responsibility to change anything for that person. I don’t conform, I fearlessly blaze my own trail.🔥 I want to encourage, empower and inspire others to shine their lights ✨💡✨ And blaze their own trails also!🔥🔥🔥This is one of many ways how I want to be remembered! How do you want to be remembered?
