Asking questions has often got me “in trouble”.  People didn’t like my questions….

I didn’t understand originally that if someone was trying to hide something (from themselves or others) that my questions would make them squirm.

Gradually I learned what was going on with that but only after years of feeling the brunt of their negative projections upon me for asking what I genuinely thought was an innocent question.

I understand now that my questions help to create the tension that leads to an internal transformation but I know that it’s not always comfortable.

Sometimes we lie to ourselves because we’re not quite ready to face the truth yet.

We delay taking actions that are going to make us or others around us feel uncomfortable – even to the point that it pains us considerably to stay where we are.

There will always come a point when we just can’t tolerate that situation anymore and we HAVE to do something to change it – but some of the pathways out that I have witnessed people take are not desirable by any means, so I encourage you to make the necessary changes before reaching that point.

This could relate to anything really…. a relationship gone bad, a job that kills our spirit… any situation that we don’t want to be in but we feel stuck in because we’re unwilling to change things or shift the status quo.

There have been times in my life when I was unhappy with something and I knew it but I was unwilling to take the steps to change it yet.

I felt stuck and I told myself I didn’t know what to do – but deep down I did know.  I just didn’t have the courage to do it yet.

Sometimes we think we’re lost and confused and we think we don’t know the what or the how.  And sometimes the change we know we need to make just seems too big for us to do alone so it is helpful if we have some support at those times.

I know only too well how scary it feels to make that move.

Soooo many times in my life I’ve wished that things would just get better on their own.  But they never did.

And then would come the realisation that “nobody is going to do this for me.  I have to do it for myself”

And that was always followed by a really sick feeling…and I mean a REALLY sick feeling, because I knew I was on the verge of a transformation if I could just make it safely through to the other side.

Each time this happened I also recognised that this is as far as it can go now.  Once I had that realisation it was IMPOSSIBLE for me to stay where I was.

I intuitively knew that if I stayed beyond that point that only worse things would follow.  If I ignored my own truth then I would be inviting the Universe to deliver me a BIG wake up call and I couldn’t risk that because I’ve seen those happen to other people and…. Well, you just don’t want to go there. Ever.

At the end of the day, I’m a truth teller.  Plain and simple.

I feel compelled to tell the truth and uncover the lies.  I can’t not.

It’s what I’m here for… and believe me:  following your own intuition is infinitely better than facing down the Universal 2×4 over which you have no control!

It’s also my soul’s mission to help to shift consciousness – and that can only be done by shining the light of truth into the darkness.

That’s the only way that we can evolve and of course that applies to me too so it’s imperative that I also walk the talk and I learn through my own mistakes.

So I will question everything…

I will ask you questions that will lead to your transformation…

I will encourage you to go deeper within to find your truth too.

And I genuinely mean it when I say that your truth doesn’t have to match my truth.  I really don’t mind what you believe.

But I will say that I will feel it if you are lying to yourself…

And I’ll support you as you find the courage to face that.

I can be gentle and I mean what I say with love but I acknowledge that you might squirm a bit from time to time when I share MY truth – especially if it resonates with undiscovered parts of yours.

This is the work we do in Sanctuary — getting honest about where you’re lying to yourself, finding the courage to face your truth, and taking the steps to actually change your life. Not because I think I know what’s best for you, but because I can feel when you’re not living authentically, and I know how to help you find your way back to yourself.

If you’re tired of pretending everything’s fine when it’s not, if you’re ready to stop lying to yourself about that relationship, that job, that dream you’ve been ignoring — let’s talk. This is exactly why Sanctuary exists.
