Witching Hour


Are you full of regret? Do you wish you could have a
do-over? Can you look at yourself and not be ashamed of the choices you have made? If asked whether you have made a positive impact on this world, what would the truthful answer be? Do these questions make you uncomfortable--feel like vomiting?? Do you avoid looking at your life at all costs for fear you may not like what you discover?

Ladies and gentlemen...it's time. It is time to look at these questions and get them answered honestly within your heart. The choices we make impact not just ourselves but all of those who we encounter on our journey. We have paved our road with bullshit...we continue to pray that our deceit will not be discovered and yet it takes a skilled liar to hide the truth from themselves. I can almost guarantee that not one of us is that talented...the truth lies on our hearts and takes over our spirit--eventually.

Each of us has a Witching Hour...that hour every day that we cannot hide from the truth...the hour in which we can no longer spoon-feed ourselves justifications for the poor choices we have made and the realization of how damaging we have been envelopes our soul. Where acceptance from all of the ugly we have created in the lives of others is brutally apparent and understanding we must get real slaps us with verocity.

Your Witching Hour will continue to present itself every day until you begin to make choices to improve the lives of those around you, until you understand and respect the power you have to damage another, until you grasp the concept that your responsibility in this life is to create a loving, safe, and nurturing world.

Facing yourself~~your soul~~your Witching Hour is uncomfortable, painful, and ugly but oh so necessary. Try to avoid it and it will lie waiting for you to slow down enough so it may hit you with such intensity you are left gasping for air. Understanding that our demons will visit us daily, we must be cognizant that they refuse to be ignored for too long. We must decide to live with beauty, grace, and respect. We must face our demons, our mistakes, our hurtful transgressions in order to achieve peace and harmony within our spirit. We must begin to make amends for the abuse we have hurled at others and make choices that will not fill our hearts with shame and embarrassment.

My soul is mine to keep safe...your soul is not my possession and therefore, I have no right to damage it as if it were my own. Protecting your heart and soul is not adequate reason enough to hurt others. You get no pass from your Witching Hour by justifying your hurtfulness. You always have a choice...always have options and make no mistake, the choices are always given to you upfront. It is our ignorance, it is our willingness to listen to the easy choice and to silent those choices that best serve our integrity that we find so embraceable. We silence the hard choices with justifications and we stop honoring our ideals because it is simply easier. It takes less work to chose ugly...it comes naturally. Yet, as we all know, it is only easier at the time...because our Witching Hour quickly approaches and our selfish-lazy decisions will come for a visit; shining light on our inadequacies.

Prepare for your Witching Hour by slowing down as you are presented life-choices. Honor your integrity by choosing love, honesty, and beauty above everything. Stop ignoring how your choices impact the world around you and believe that with this understanding you can develop everlasting devotion to making this world better; to making you better. Dedicate yourself to improving the lives of others~~make a choice to never, ever allow past hurts to guide you and help create an amazing journey for us to revel in.

Face your Witching Hour each day knowing that you have created joy. Have an open and honest discussion with your demons, apologize for your brutality, and begin to live better, healthier, and happier. Love should be the only emotion allowed to guide us...fear, skepticism, jealousy must have no place in the decision-making process and we must never give those emotions more energy than our desire for beautiful love. Become better at the human part of life...put yourself out there; show your flaws, appreciate the amazing world that surrounds you and become a fucking rock star. You deserve that...you need to fight for that and decide that you will chose humanity over brutality each and every time.

Breathing...come to me, my Witching Hour, I have new rules that must be addressed for today I chose to be guided by love instead of ruled by fear.
