The Naked Truth
Good morning—well, at least for me. Right now I’m enjoying the morning sun, which makes my hair shine and greets my face with warmth. It’s Sunday morning, a lovely time for me to head out early. Nature is still waking up. Few people are out this early, and that makes these moments precious. “The Naked Truth”—so, what might this be about? The title came to me, and I’ll let my pen lead from here. I take a deep breath and let my intuition show the way. The naked truth is the most beautiful, pure, authentic—and yes, vulnerable—part of who we are at our core. It’s the version of yourself that remains after you’ve taken off all the masks, armor, limiting beliefs, and restrictions you’ve allowed yourself and others to place on you. That truth is your unique wisdom, your unique voice—the frequency and vibration of your authentic self. Your heart’s song. Everyone is a unique expression of the universe experiencing itself in endless ways. Do you look at others to become the same, to become a copy? Do you compare yourself to that person who has what you want? It doesn’t matter what that is—but believe me, comparison is not your soul’s purpose.
We’re here to let the spoonful of stardust we are live, learn, and grow. Your naked truth—your version 1.0—has always been good enough. It’s been waiting for you to give yourself permission and acceptance to remember and embrace it. For me, the naked truth also means fully embodying who I am in many areas. Not long ago a loyal client, an older lady, sat in my chair. She told me she can read palms without ever having been taught. She’s only shared this with one other person. Why? Because she’s afraid. Afraid of one of her natural qualities and talents. Ultimately, afraid of an authentic part of herself. How beautiful it was that I managed to encourage her to give me a palm reading. She felt my acceptance and trust in her skill. With her gentle, older hands, she thoughtfully traced my palms. Her fingers followed the many lines across my fingers and hands. With a little chuckle she said, “Your hands are just as complicated as that brain of yours.” True! There are many things I truly enjoy and that give me fulfillment.
My motto is:
Why choose either/or when both/and is also an option.
Another piece of naked truth I’ve worked on is embracing and accepting my physical body. I’m perfect as I am—without being “perfect.” The beauty of imperfection. One of the masks I wore was believing I needed makeup to feel good enough to go anywhere. In hindsight, that feels silly. The woman makes the makeup—not the other way around. Today, applying makeup feels like an enrichment rather than a must. That bare, makeup-free face of mine radiates wherever I go. I wish everyone this warm feeling of self-love and self-acceptance. I truly believe it’s the most beautiful and powerful medicine you can ever gift yourself.
We’ve now talked about various naked truths. The last one I want to put in the spotlight today is our naked truths expressed through our throat chakras and our minds. The truths you speak—about yourself or anything else—create your reality. Even the unspoken thoughts you tell yourself in your mind can have a positive or negative influence on you and your reality. So choose your words, thoughts, and actions carefully. Together they shape your future. When you speak or think about things from your past, put them in the past tense. Even that statement, thought, or action from a second ago is already the past. For example: say “I was an emotional eater” instead of “I am an emotional eater.” With this new approach, you don’t deny anything, but you also don’t keep it alive in your future reality. I hope you feel what I mean—and if not, you know where to find me. The future is flexible and in flow. Create, think of, and act as if you already are where you want to be. There’s magic in acting “as if.” “Fake it till you make it” takes on a new meaning this way. For now, I wish you a beautiful day full of love, freedom, acceptance, and connection.

Live, learn, and laugh with your naked truth.
