Hi Jess,

Welcome to Openhand - pleased to see you :-)

May I say, the first thing is to work to stop feeling like you have to always justify yourself to those around you - especially your partner. If love isn't unconditional then it's not truly love!

It all has to begin with beingness. If you have a genuine question of the soul, ask it now. Speak it out into the universe. Then watch the reflections come back. How are you being invited to be now? In the place you're at?

You've got to dig deep, inside yourself. Find that which is truly you. Then be that. As much as you can. As often as you can. Come what May. No matter how much you love those around you, you can't let this stop you being you.

Authentic creation (like jobs etc) follow authentic being. As you are being, so you create.

If there's hesitancy about who you are, then that's what you create as an experience.

However the more you have the trust in being you, and your own truth, the more you'll create a positive world around you that reflects this.

Wishing you well

Open
