TRUTH

By Laura Palermo

This month, the word we have chosen is “truth”. I felt compelled to start off with an affirmation to help us all remember to stay firm in our integrity and speak our own truth.

“I honour who I am. I do this with the words I speak and the thoughts and beliefs I hold to. I do this through every action I choose to take and the ones that I don’t. I honour who I am, by maintaining my integrity and speaking my truth, because I am worth it.”

I have seen many inspiring and thought-provoking posts recently. Some of which have emphasised the effect the words we speak have on others and ourselves. This is so important to remember. We are doing ourselves a disservice by dulling our sparkle. Yesterday’s reading reminded us of the need to stay true to ourselves. If we mask who we truly are—through thought, word or deed—we lose sight of who that is and what is important to us.

The quote I chose today reminds us that the truth never leaves us, no matter how much we choose to shy away from it. We aren’t always hiding “bitter truths”; sometimes we are merely hiding. So, this month, remember to be loving and kind to yourself and others. Be love and be light. Be you.
