I stand in my truth
And I rock back and forth
As I analyze the days
In between my journey of feeling a need
And standing in my POWER
And I say, “Wow! What a ride!”
*
The awareness was a long time coming
As the landscape of my perception
Born itself in minute increments
Coming down like rain
Sprinkling gently from the sky
Barely perceptible at first
And you think
“Is it raining?”
*
And then the truth of the power that is me
Shot out like a lightening bolt
And there was a familiarity
That could not be denied
And a heart that said
“Yes. This is truth.”
*
I walk through days that can change
Like a stormy sky in summer
And through patches of barbs
That get stuck in my feet
But I know as I plant each foot
That I am walking to the beat of my heart and soul
And the choices I make
Are ones I can not only live with
But I can live IN
*
My power does not scare me
As it once did
Just as the idea of growing up
Once brought me fear
NO.
My power lights me from the inside
Where I feel that connection to Spirit
And I walk an honest journey
Led by the choices of my soul
And my soul will never steer me wrong!
Blessitude!

I feel such a strong, yet gentle, energy as I write this. There is a peace I have rarely known, and it feels good. Maybe I am growing up. Or maybe I am just growing.
All I do know is that life is not easy. But it is easier when you realize your own power and you listen to the guidance from your soul.
Oh, and it helps a whole lot to have FAITH! And FEAR is FAITH in the WRONG THING!
I wish you all to recognize the strength that lies deep inside you…to really honor your power…and to listen to your soul!
P.S. For those of you on my email list, I sent out my first Ask◇Seek◇Knock Newsletter on Friday. It is a question from K.M. in New York, and it is titled, “A BIG DECISION, A BULLY, AND FEAR.”
Check it out…it was a great exchange.
If you are not signed up for my Newsletter and you are interested, here is a link to sign up. I will send the newsletter out once a month via email and it will have the latest QUESTION and ANSWER from Ask◇Seek◇Knock.
And…if you have no idea what this is all about…here is a link to Ask◇Seek◇Knock!
Sweet Blessings my friends!

Kudos Lorrie. I feel your peaceful confidence and am delighted that you are growing into your power and truth. May we stand in our power (love) and listen to our souls. Hugs and blessings…
Thanks, Brad! I’m happy to share this feeling as I believe we can connect to good energy and it stronger for the whole. It’s funny to me that we would be afraid of how powerful we are…especially control freaks like me 😉
Sending good thoughts 💜
Great post
Good morning! Thanks so much for reading and leaving your footprint 🙂 Have a super day!
You too dear … my pleasure 😊
Beautiful thoughts as I grow older, slip back and forth between those feelings of power and needing to remember to ask for help sometimes.
Oh…for sure! Part of the power I think is knowing when it is time to ASK for help 🙂 And that appears to be the hardest thing for some people.
Hope you have a Sunday filled with light and love <3
Powerful and insightful post, Lorrie! Your comment on Faith is so pertinent to allowing our souls to thrive and find peace and joy! Hope you have a great week!!
Thanks so much, Kirt 😁 And yes, I agree wholeheartedly…fear restricts your soul. I spent enough of my time hanging out in that energy.
Blessings to you also for a wonderful week 😁
Lorrie, fear seems intent on making it a challenge to walk in oneself, eh? Your kindness and perseverance shine through.
Yes! It sure does, Michael! I wonder how I even functioned buried under the weight of it.
Thank you for your kind words. I truly am a work in progress.
Sending lots of warm wishes your way!
I honor your process! 💗
Thank you, my friend!!
Sending a big hug and lots of love 💜
I am thrilled you are at last standing in your power Lorrie.. And yes each of us are continually growing. As we peel back the layers of time that have kept us held prisoner within or own locked emotions.
Stepping out into our new found energy is indeed liberating..
So pleased you now find yourself in this wonderful place Lorrie..
Sending continued blessings your way my friend <3 <3 <3
Hi Sue 😁 Thank you so much! The journey is real, and although it has been very difficult at times I would not change a thing! You have been a blessing to me, shining your light to enhance the way, and I am so grateful, Sue!
To be standing in my power and be able to honor it is such a wonderful experience.
Here’s to life…BEAUTIFUL LIFE…and realizing we create It!
Much love to you, friend! 💜💜
Life is as beautiful as WE want to make it.. Keep smiling and being true to yourself Lorrie xxx <3
Thanks, Sue 💛 Hope you had a great Monday and the rest of the week delights your soul!
I love that you are sharing your journey of empowerment Lorrie because it will help others to stand in their power. It is interesting that we all fear our power yet it is what sets us free. Thanks for your wisdom.
Hi Lisa! Yes! It does set us free, doesn’t It? Thanks so much for stopping by and for your kind words. I hope you are correct and that it does help someone. It is such a paradox, but so incredible when we find this key.
Hope you are well 💜
This is a strong and powerful poem and post, Lorrie, the importance lies within a sentence of these strong words: “I am walking to the beat of my heart and soul” ~ this is just the type of attitude needed to create something special. Wishing you a great day ahead.
Ah! Yes, how wonderful 😁 I am excited to create…ALWAYS! I look back at hard times in my life when my creativity was sleeping…and I don’t know how I survived…not the hard times, but rather the times I didn’t create!!
Thanks for seeing this…and sharing 💜 Hope the rest of your week is lovely.
What a beautiful, yet powerful poem, Lorrie <3 Your art is amazing too, please show us more of it! Hugs XXX
😁 Thank you, Tiny! I appreciate your kind words. I will share more of my “Zentangle-esque” art. I find it very strange that for someone who loves color so much, I do black and white art! Go figure!
Have a great day, Helen 💜
Just wonderful!
Thanks Tom!
Now I figure out what to do with it 😉!
I love this title and message. Fear is having faith in the wrong thing. Yep, I’ve been there and can always use a reminder to put my faith in God, the Universe, and my own power, too. It’s exciting to know we can get better at this and mostly avoid the barbs that get stuck in our feet. May you walk in warm sand and energizing waves.
Ah! Yes, Joanna 😁 Thank you _/\_ THAT is my favorite place to walk…and I am Blessitude because It is available to me! In my experience, there is nothing that a beach walk can’t make better!
Hope your remodel went well and that you are okay. I know how going through all the “stuff” brings up other “stuff” and I send a giant hug and hold onto you until you let go! I read that somewhere that that is how you are supposed to hug someone…hold them and don’t let go until they do…then you are sure they got what they needed 😁
Hope you have a great weekend 💜
<3 I hope your weekend is wonderful!
Came back to read this again…As I read each line the power of this expression pulling. excellently expressed and profoundly powerful
Thank you for this incredibly beautiful AND EMPOWERING! testimony! I am Blessitude that you have had such a reaction…and that you came back to tell me😁
I am in deep exploration of what this all means, and will have a follow-up post tomorrow.
Wishing you connection with your power…and a really fantastic weekend!
💜
you as well and I shall return tomorrow to see how the spirit has prompted you…
😊
Thanks my friend 💜 Look for that post on Monday…something came up 😉
ok…thanks for the heads up… Happy Mother’s Day
Thank you!…you too…?
💜
