You can fly, but you have to jump!
Do you find yourself at a cliff? I know you do, one of you, many of you, I wouldn’t be writing this if you didn’t. I see you, I feel you, I am you! I myself am standing on a cliff, ready to jump, a freefall into the unknown. All I have is my faith. My faith is my wings. For so long in my life I stood there, looking out at where I wanted to be, where I needed to be, but without the ability to jump for it. I guess I thought if I wanted it bad enough God would build me a staircase or even better, an elevator. Maybe a plane? Can a girl at least get a parachute? So many excuses, so much bargaining. I was stuck there, everything I needed right before me and I couldn’t do the one thing God and the universe asked of me. I couldn’t have faith. So there I stood, on this cliff letting life pass me by and never really living it. So when I tell you it’s time to jump, don’t for one second think I don’t practice what I preach. As I write this I am back at my next cliff, and it’s time to jump. So if this is you, if you need to jump, I promise you aren’t alone. I promise you can fly, but first, you have to jump!
February 18th, 2020. This is the day I jumped. My first steps out of the medium closet if you will. I told real people in my life. I made a declaration and it wasn’t just a longing or a knowing. It wasn’t something I told someone that held no meaning in my day to day. It was me saying “hey, this is who I am.” It was the craziest year of my life. I know 2020 was a bad year. There is so much that has happened to so many. For me, it was more. It was the most defining year of my life. In a way the pain of the year just validated why it was so important to make my leap. I have a positive message to spread, what am I waiting for? I can’t even tell you how many times I walked to the edge of this cliff intending to jump and didn’t. I let all the what ifs, what would they thinks, and the am I crazy’s stop me. Until one day, one day I just jumped. I didn’t think about it anymore, I couldn’t. Look I didn’t fly right away, of course it isn’t that easy. Jumping was step one, having faith in that jump is when you get your wings. If I sit here and say its been easy I would be lying. But, I do sit here and say that its worth it. I say this with ever fiber of my being. When I am doing a guidance call, or talking with my loved ones and I tell them to jump, encourage them to be exactly who they are, it isn’t just talk. I practice what I preach, all of it. January 2021 I launched this website, another jump. I was all the way out of the mediumship closet. It meant telling everyone, especially those close to me that I had been so afraid of telling. I jumped though, some people were right there with me, and some I had to leave behind. That makes the jump harder, painful in a way, but not for one second was it not worth it.
So I ask you, what’s your cliff? Is it your job? Maybe its a big move, or maybe even a small one. Maybe its putting your story out there and choosing to help others with your own journey, or maybe its just admitting what your story is. What if its finally deciding to leave the place that makes you feel small, unhappy, or stuck. Maybe it is admitting you’re not happy or finally admitting you are. Maybe you have your own closet you have to come out of. The tiny place where you get to be you but somehow is also stopping you from being you. Sometimes the biggest jump is actually just deciding to take a step. Whatever it may be, I encourage you to jump! I know the not knowing is scary, that sometimes we need the guarantee. Leaving anything stable, like your rock hard cliff, and jumping into the vast unknown is terrifying. That’s what makes it worth it. Even if you fall it wasn’t a fail. Look, many times I have fallen flat on my face, hard. Me shaped hole in the ground hard. Even then, not a fail. Like a cartoon you will pull yourself out of that you shaped hole and you will learn. You will clear the stars from your head and see why you hit the ground. Maybe you jumped from the wrong cliff, maybe for the wrong reason. Maybe you jumped but never opened your wings. Whatever the reason, you get up, reset, and you jump again. You are worth every jump. You deserve to be exactly who you are, loved for who you are, and accepted for who you are. Take the leap, those meant to be with you will be and those you have to leave behind will be ok. Jumping isn’t an ending to a story, it doesn’t negate what you learned and lived on your cliff, it just continues. Never hold back your wings, don’t doubt yourself. We all fly when its time, don’t hold back your journey waiting for someone else to find theirs. Whoever you are, wherever you are, I hope you jump. I promise you will fly.
