Talking up

 Hello my friends.

How are you?

I hope that you're having a really nice day.

I want to share with you something that has been on my mind, lately.

And that is talking up, and taking ownership about  what's going on for you.

I want to encourage you by doing this, because you will gain respect for yourself.

I was terrible, at doing this, because it is a weak point in my life, but as we all know, Mental health matters, it is how we see people, how we approach people and how we work.

I want to give you an example, of my own life. As things pop up from time time, and you can see a pattern.

I was at work, and someone said something, that was really out of place, and it was wrong, but I didn't feel at the time or my place to challenge him on it, so I left it, but like a festering splinter, it just festered away, causing hurt.

There was just me and this worker, and I was upset, and quiet, for a long time.I didn't laugh, I just focused in what was said. and prayed hard.

I talked it over with my friend, and he said to take it to management. I did, and they had a meeting with this person. and it was solved.

Now if I just let that go, and just prayed for him in fact that is what I was doing and nothing was done, how then could he know, that it was an issue?

I'm still like this today. Harassment of any kind is wrong.

And sometimes people see that as helping, but 99 % of the time it's not.

He was most sorry, that he caused what he did, and wanted to apologize to me, management didn't need to remind him, he knew what he did.
And that is the glory of grace.

Now my friends, if you do need to talk to people, get someone around you that will support you. don't pretend it's not happening, or it isn't.

Just talk to someone about it, because there are some wonderful people out there that will. that are looking out for you.

Talk about it, with someone you trust, and love.

And if you're that person ''trying to help'' you do it in love and trust.

Go gentle on people, treat them with care.

Treat everyone with love and trust.

And get things out in the open and solved quickly, this will help you move on, and onto new things.

I planted a new iris in my garden today, a black one. and I can't wait for it to flower, in the deep darkness of the earth.

I planted it to remind me, that I'm growing onto new things, and that I'm not that girl anymore, just to take it.

You will get out alive, dear ones, if you feel like everything is against you.

There are wonderful support out there just for you.

Just open up, like my iris that is in the ground, transplanted out of it's pot into the ground, to be free.

And that's my advice for you today.

Lots of love
Chloe
