Uncover Your Raw Power

by Di Russell

When I learned that the energy that powers me up - the life in me - is only well-being I became very curious.

If I was so full of 'well-being energy' why was I experiencing so much low self esteem, doubt, fear,...a long list of things that felt anything BUT well-being?

The answers that came reminded me of the kitchen floor in my first-ever home. The house was old, timber-frame, fibro walls, leaking roof, really in need of some TLC. 

The kitchen was so tiny, I could turn around and reach everything in it. And the flooring was nothing short of disgusting. It was a thin, dark patterned carpet, buckled in places and threadbare in others.

When the carpet was removed, the very raw, unfinished Jarrah timber floorboards were revealed. 

OMGoodness! I still remember how excited I felt! NOTHING in this house looked glamorous or modern...and here, hidden away, were the most beautiful floor boards - albeit they needed to be brought to life. 

Once they were sanded and lacqured, they were SOOO beautiful!!!! Deep colours of golden and brown hues and when the sun shone in on them they just danced with beauty.

What had appeared to be the most disgusting part of this house, became the very thing that made my heart so full of joy - every day.

We are like that kitchen floor. The very foundation of us - the Life in us - is so solid, strong and beautiful. But it can often go unnoticed, having been covered over with all that the journey of life has brought us. 

When you get to the stage where you're so done putting up with the things in life that really bring you down, it's time to get curious. 

Ask; Who am I really? What's underneath all 'this'?

The truth is - there is a solid, strong and beautiful you, waiting to be noticed and uncovered. It might still be raw, and it's definitely unfinished. 

The true life in you IS only well-being. The question is are you ready to notice it and bring it to life?

The Raw Material of Creation
Often, in the hustle of daily life around us, it's easy to just drift along. Doing the do. These letters are an invitation to pause for a while, reconnect with what’s inside, and live a little more unapologetically you. ♡ How fitting that spring is just around the corner!

Often, in the noise of daily life, it's easy to drift away from our true selves. These letters are an invitation to pause for a while, reconnect with what you know to be true, and live a little more unapologetically you. ♡ Things weren’t going as I wanted them to. I was aware of the rumble inside me.It had my attention, but not my buy-in. I was standing, unmoving, observing the ship go down. Th...
Never Apologise For The Invisible Seasons
Often, in the noise of daily life, it's easy to drift away from our true selves. These letters are an invitation to pause for a while, reconnect with what you know to be true, and live a little more unapologetically you. ♡ As I sit writing this week’s letter, I’m noticing the tree just outside my window. It’s been bare for months now, having dropped its leaves in autumn, and to the untrained ey...
