“Blinders off, Transparency”
Epiphany, “Ask and Omg will you receive.” So to better understand where I am, I am gonna start with where this Epiphany, Popped out of. I was meditating, Meanwhile between mantras, I was asking the Universe, For some guidance, So these contrasts I have been challenged with, Lately, I could better navigate through them, Without being drained or dumping on anyone, And just as I finished asking, I remembered to do my mantra again… So just as I asked, It was set off, let go of, No longer dwelling there. I finished my meditation, And decided to take a shower, Soon after meditation, while I was washing my hair, Being careful to not get soap in my eyes, Cuz I really don’t like that when it happens. Something came to me, I connected more expansions to what I asked, Just ten minutes before, all came full circle…. - Over the past two years, there have been many transitions, Even up to this point right now, Having three kids coming into teenager-hood all around the same Time all combines into the mix also going on with me. I have been very troubled emotionally and quite mentally Exhausted… Two years ago, something emerged from within me, A wound, a few actual wounds, Laid dormant within the numbing, The coping suppression of survival instincts, I had from bad childhood experiences, Things that happened to me, at ages, 2, 3, 4, Came flooding back... - I was sexually abused as a child, By my one or two of my uncles, I had blacked out/numbed out much of it. Only have remembered some, and went through many years Of therapy for what had been remembered at those times. So enough backstory, What I would like to share with you, Is what led to right now. Like I said two years ago, These memories/flashbacks in full detail, Imagery and connection was restored inside of me. It was just after the rest of my immediate Family began to meditate, We began meditating together as a family, Which is quite healing, and as meditation To me is known for releasing stored stress. I appreciate this reveal and this connection, of quite a few memories, I didn’t know I had still in me. Kind of jolting, realities, truths, experiences, With my now, better understanding, Able to connect to these expansions, Even though ever so painful to allow, And actually let surface, only after a few months of our very powerful meditating “Together,” routine took place. I was able to connect everything rather quickly, Making sense of everything before that situation came to light, Plus the ways I handled it, projected it, and rebelled against it, through all areas and realms of expression these experiences held. As in my thinking, believing, wearing of clothes, Men I was drawn to, circle of friends I had, my behavior, My whole way of life, interrupted and exploded, During the disguises, of being blacked out, not remembering the source of all My dismay, Now happily married, four kids later, The full flashback, vivid, raw, and at hand… - All of it came in quite fast, the connections I made, Made total sense to me that it came out when I was ready for it…. - I really am grateful that those memories came back then, (2yrs ago) because I was able to utilize every tool, As an immediate resource for how I was to deal with this, Responding wholeheartedly at my best to these discoveries. My toolbox I utilized, was gathered from books I read, therapists I worked with, amazing Youtube resources, new friends I have now, The vast internet at my fingertips, yes finally, I got this, I got this! Big emotional talks with some of my outside of this home, family as this came to light, and of course hubby. Connected to my sexual self, my spiritual self, my physical, emotional, verbal, mental selves all came full circle, The intimacy issues at the core of me, no longer were left to be guessed, everything I needed explained, was right here...Finally! - There I was, feeling ever so free, A huge weight lifted from this missing piece, Coming back together, yet with this new power, This new knowing, my subconscious went again into This default mode, in the midst of breakthrough, without me totally realizing more than this, guess what? - Unconsciously, Even though I steadily making progress, Was in the wheels turning mode, Subconsciously something else crept in… In the high flying awesomeness, Of all these connections, I felt compelled to do and try new things, For example; Like cutting off all of my hair, Because I wanted too. Because I didn’t like people identifying me As the tall, hot blond, and because at that time, I felt torn between that being the wrong attention, And rediscovering who I am without my long hair… I detached…. I felt like wearing baggy clothes, No more push up bra’s offering sex appeal, No more fanfare to keeping appearances up, And all that is attached to strings, I cut myself from the "Puppetering" of society, Of me conforming or seeing myself, Any other way, but of my own... I wanted to do something of my own, I wanted to have my own, within my own Control of experiences, Something more that I could identify with, that you don’t get to have, When sick people sexually, or physically abuse you… What I didn’t know, Was while I was onboard of embracing all That I was liberating myself from, My subconscious was not onboard, With my heart and soul… - There while all that was liberated, I was also liberating different things, While living my life, having friends move away, Being more than really here for my life totally, Somehow, My subconscious didn’t like all this change, I didn’t allow more digging into myself, As to rewire that part of me, I just felt so freed from those flashbacks, I didn’t stop or pause, or check my internal Dialog…. - So meanwhile moving forward, I slipped into depression, Self imposed shame filled depression, Because in my experience the side effect, Sexual abuse has revealed to me, is that of, Concealing, as in covering up those sexual parts of me, And for me that’s the way I dressed, spoke ever so openly about, And it included my humor… In liberating the connections I made, I began to feel disgusted with myself, For carrying on this way for so long, Without seeing or sensing that is what was Truly hiding beneath all my layers, It wasn’t me defining me… It had been my wounds defining me, I stated to change all that I had previously Identified myself with, or as, Too much too fast, that I put myself, In depression, shaming myself, For not covering up, For being open, For wearing what I still love to wear, For realizing my limits, For pushing beyond my own boundaries for so long, Betraying myself, Every echo of someone else I believed and internalized, Boy did my subconscious remind me, Boy did these revelations backfire, Boy did this process become quite difficult To work through, silencing the echoes of relative Nay-sayers, giving me I told you so’s, And remembering how they name called Me slut for liking or being attracted To anything they considered, Was the reason for being raped, sexually abused... Knowing what I know now, We all did our best with the tools we had at the time, But I didn’t let me stop, Being alive, trusting every piece of the process, Loving and appreciating the beauty which bleed through, while getting through…. - Back to the present moment, The reveal while washing my hair, Brought full circle, How much I chose to carry, Was mostly shame, Self-imposing my depression, Unable to keep up with all that kept Emerging, flowing, some of it was easy to accept, But a lot of it, I am still learning to accept, So I can forgive. Healing looks to me now, As depression, all that weight we have to sift, Sort through, meanwhile living the daily grind, Just insinuates just how imperative it is, To let love take the lead.. How these discomforts arise, uncomfortably, But takes us to newer more meaningful places, I have been depressed for a little over two years, And it took me to yesterday’s shower, For me to realize, it was self-imposed, Natural reactions over time, To trauma, to digging into ourselves, To love and heal, to accept and forgive, And to truly live, moving in, through, To rise above, gets us through, Discomfort, much like being depressed, I am not dwelling on it, It's not consuming me, Not in denial, Just was completely oblivious, Till now, to the resonance behind the curtain, Called my subconscious, Was again, after all this time, In reverse while I wanted to move forward... There were many breadcrumbs, Leaving a trail, But it required me to come back down to earth, To re-align, connect… After something so simple, After something so blown out, After lashing out, After we recognize what holds source, Do we, However it came, See, make sense of, release, Expose, make mean, Become aware, Let go doesn’t always mean every is freed, Come full circle, Allow ourselves to change, Definitions, rhymes, history, Dialog, perspective, direction, Light, dark, conflict, contrasts, Calm, adversity, cleansed, Purged, buried, burden, Layered, accepted, Honored, owned, Forgiven, becomes Beautiful, We evolve, Uncomfortably, Becomes our comfortable, Our truth colorized, Not scrutinized, No more, for we are, I am human, Each of us, Grow.. Asked from a place of love, Of grace, of thanks, And our divinity, Brings us our humility, Reigns holding our integrity, All comes full circle, Giving way, For us to hold its space long enough, To let go, And for new space, Tended, In the very act of owning, So to the new we pave, create, Receive… Thank you Universe, Thank you self, I didn’t know I needed this Transparency, As much as I wanted, I couldn’t have dreamed this blessing To be the miracle that transports me, Now, back here, living and learning, Just so much better than ever before, For now, now is all we have.. I will forever be committed To this journey, I am open and receptive, To all this good within me, And coming for me.. I will keep re-learning, Not hold anything back, So I become… I will always be grateful, Thank you! I leave it open, I am and will always, See the beauty, That comes from, Shedding open. No matter the transition, Observation and truth, There will always be learning, There will always be discomfort, In love, in truth, in living I will always be comforted, That I don’t know everything, Will not know everything, And will not let that stop me from Enjoying the unfurling of my life, Now, then, forward… Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror I re-engage back into my life, Your presence dear Universe, Always serves me so well! Hey, self, Thank you for always being here, Never alone, always serving me so well, Thank you, for investing in me, I invest in you, unconditionally! I am and always will be who I choose to be, and no circumstance or outer person, needs heard as much as my heart, my truths, do... Life gives me so much, it's up to me to figure out what matters, I matter, and that is my plan of action, I take now… I choose to overcome! I am Beautiful! I choose to overcome! Blinders off, here's to Transparency, who I am, Hell what That looks like to anyone else, This is my life, my time to define, mine to live up to, all ready, let's go!

Where I am, Now.” Losing touch with the external, Bustle and hustle, I am wholly here, Within the wholeness Of presence, infused in the Now, Because in all actuality, Here is what we get. This is all we have, So in losing touch With the external, Of circumstances, Of getting lost in the daily grind, I know, I may have to bend outwards, Just a bit, as we all live in a world, That requires us to pay bills And remain active to keep our home, Food and so forth… I will bend, but not break. As to break I would become a compensator, Part of the mass, hold very little individuality, As to fit myself only, Into complaints, explanations or validations, To make outer ends meet, Always set in the external, Not of me that matters... Losing touch with the external, I am not losing touch of what’s expected, Of us to live in “Reality.” Yet, we must bend both ways, As to belong to each new moment, All that we can offer, And all that is offered to us. Losing touch with all the conflict, Losing touch with the outer Of complications to listen and honor, Other opinions, relied on so much, That we lose ourselves in never feeling enough… Miserable! Why I have distanced myself From the unachievable dissonance, Always begging for me to conform to, As to not think for myself, and do what Is expected, rather than what I can honor, In both… Losing touch, With all that external noise, I have deepened a better relationship With myself, already, and always being enough. No more bending till I break, No more listening to the outer “Hoping that I will break,” I will not be held up… “Losing touch with reality,” you say, I am not oblivious. I am strengthening my relationship With the Universe, inside of me, Inside this world and out of this world, As it all connects, everything connects.

This is my work, my hearth, which moves, Which evolves, changes, decides, becomes, Through which I create and activate, here... No judging, No apologizing, No missing! Being now, Is me holding every opportunity As the moment offers, I offer to give, share, create, Builds… Lost touch in what is not within me, To pave or change, Gained insight, Still gaining insight, Re-discovering, refiguring, Consistently, here and here... Choosing to be here now, Having now, getting more of my now’s, Now, no matter how oblivious I seem or not seem, That’s not in my control, As it is however you see it, feel it, Defines you, not me… So I have lost touch with what matters to you, That’s good, because my business, Is my business… Let me start with where I began, “Losing touch with the external, Bustle and hustle, I am wholly here, Within the wholeness Of presence, infused in the Now, Because in all actuality, Here is what we get.” Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror All living potential lives Beneath the chaos of the external, I give my all, Always, by being here, Now!

No more why bother! So to whatever is here and coming, I got this! Only way through is to practice, Getting better at, I am getting this! 'May have slipped, but these are
What Intentions you may have missed, Lost in translation through our own filtering.' Not pissed off, Just honing in on what I own. Not attacking you, Just standing on my own two feet, Planted in my soul. Not judging you, Just stating from my experience. Not mocking you, Just becoming my own person, Having some laughs at my own lessons. Not angered and bitter, Just coming to terms with lessons, By my own experiential means, learned, And enforced through healthy boundaries… Not being rude or inconsiderate, Just respecting my heart truths, As each moment and action, Unfolds, being really here for myself, Before I can be there for others… Not for or against negativity, Just as light, just as dark, Each holds beauty and balance. Not provoking division, Just as I am not against you, I am not for coercion of force, Egotistic warfare, manipulations, Of any form of making someone Or myself conform to outer dictation, Or any abuse outside in, or carried out for someone, Towards myself, But always for personal activism of heart, Of our own light, truth, that brings no actual Harm to anyone, but maybe just slightly, damages/changes ignorant, arrogant pride… Not trying to slander anyone in sharing my story, My experiences, Just speaking and living my truth, No matter who that offends, upsets, and realizing, Consistently every connect and disconnect, I am not responsible for how others take it, Or choose to see, hear, think, feel, or misunderstand it, This is my life, my journey, my own interpretations, Of experiences thus far… Not living up to your expectations, Just being my own person, this body, My own human being, honoring every dip, Low, high, curve, valley, hill, edge, slip up, Success, as I go. Getting better at it, every moment, every day, One step at a time, Not placing brackets, limits, deadlines, Shame, blame, projections, resentments or grudges, Every which way, even when confused, frustrated, Choosing Love every step of the way, Not to what you think is ideal or what I should do, But always in accordance to what I choose, What I believe, what I think, what I say, Without needing your permission, Or validation…. I choose, To be supportive of my own heart, And yours while me being me. Always allowing others to be the same for them, Interpreting as you choose, Even if we disagree, Even if we agree, There will always be blessed lessons, To experience, sort through, overcome, So the beef you think is with me, Doesn’t matter, Because I am not you, I am who I think and know myself to be.. I know my worth, I know I am already enough, And as with life being my own, I choose what matters, There is truly a gigantic amount, That gets lost in translation. Each of us sense differently, So what is going on inside of you that no one knows, Is how you read what someone else says, shows, voices, We all create, handle, and define differently, Be as you choose to be. I am not responsible for your being, you, The How, what, who, when, why, where, Are yours, just like mine are mine. We decide, We act, We think, WE believe, We say, We do, We live, We learn, We understand, we hear, we experience. I am only responsible for me. We all make mistakes, We all misunderstand things that's how we find out about ourselves and learn, We all have fears, We all have something within us, Guiding us, with filters, On and through, Our eyes & ears, That is within us, To carry or draw or express or live out... Choose heart centered, Choose love, light, truth, Respect, acceptance, Forgiveness, gratitude, to soften or harden, As to live life, As to learn life, As you choose to be, So does it pave who we become. Live and let be, Learn and let be, Love lets all be… Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror So let's be, Engaged, Empowered, To live without explanations, expectations, As unconditional, As light, love, life, And truth can be. So we be, Not divided, Not assumed, Not in conflict, Just celebrated for the beautiful, In adversity, In our own diversity, Universally, Unconditionally, loved and lived, To let all be, As we let be, Here, and every moment That comes, embraced. Devout I am,
As I am compelled to view My vast archives within me, The roads I took to get here… I connect to rekindle, The magic, the beauty, That still can resonate with me, Now. Ah Yes, I have outgrown much, That has been already lived, But in remembering, Honoring, The new there, that can still be found, Within the past’s archives, Living within my old selves, That built me into who I am, Right now, standing here. Dipping in. Upon going in, Reconnects me to the backbone, Of strength, of boundaries, of resilience, I’ve had all along, Going back in as to reflect and be reminded, I am different than who I was then, So I see, rekindle, connect differently, All is new, new blessings, new lessons, New healing, reveals, begins, restores, As through who I am now, Is being the loving intention, That directs and guides more softly, Every layer excavated Excavated to be realized, accepted, Loved, to let surface, and be let go of… Delving into the archives of ourselves, We can, refuel and readjust. Replacing our doubts, worries, With the very backbone we still have intact, Which helps us sort out what no longer serves us, Reconnecting us to who we are now.. Leaning in without expecting conditions, Without judgement, and outer opinions. Leaning, dipping in, Through love, light and forgiveness, We can unblock many obstacles we are currently having, And/or the ones to come, By digging in, Being devout to our souls, hearts, And the nutritional aspects of the archives We have stored within us, Providing for us still, In movement, In appreciating, In awareness, In its guidance, In its openness, In its reflection, In our power, To love and honor All that we have now, Is what we came from, To get here, To come to us through which, We had to learn/unlearn from, To reignite our truths, To reignite, illuminating All that is really here, To be really here… Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror To Love and appreciate our archives, To love and appreciate, Where we are as we stand here, As to love and appreciate, As each of every before now, Led us to expansive evolution. Into the collapse,
Into rages, Into the detox, Into cleanses, Into the commencing of celebrating diversity, Into the renovations, Into adversity, Into the storms, Into the crumbling, Into awakenings, Into the processes, Into presences, The emergence continues, Of all with ranges, angles, roles, Experimentally on Purpose, experiences, of life, I let and love, unfold… -Remarkably Beautiful- Kaleidoscope brings all together, Like my peripherals inside out and outside in, Gathering and taking in All within me, around me, above me, below me, Comes back together, Bringing with in, My kaleidoscopic of experiences thus far…. Paving into chronicles Of self, of thought, of action, Of connection, Allowing itself to construct or deconstruct, As to allow all, The offering of making here, Present, now, To be truly enveloped in love & light, I am now and always becoming. Into the disarming of resistance, Of judgement, of self sabotage, Of doubt, of worry, against my own intuitive nature, Until I allow, to let be, to let surface, let live, let love in and through, All that could be, couldn’t be, Resting in what can not be changed, Yesterday’s and the times before now, That got me here… So I release, So that I can be here, now, Indulging wholeness... As I am, as it is always accessible, Open to the diversity, My perception, comprehension, Will allow, expand and evolving into, The greater additions, editions, to the kaleidoscope inside of me, Inside the universe, that which I can Always tap into, get out of, Live, by example, thoroughly through, My experiences, teaching me, Guiding me, taking me there, Here, now… Lived and loved! Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror Into Now, I invest, whole self, Whole wide world, wholeheartedly, Dedicated, and always here to take motion, Into, for and with... “I appreciate the Contrast…”
Your truth is your truth. My truth is my truth. There’s always two sides to a story, Two perceptions and experiences going into, What truths we live. Also our experiences may differ as well, for example; ‘Just because my experience of someone Differs from yours doesn’t mean I made it up, Just as your experience of the same person could be Completely adverse, our truths are our truths.’ Just because our wording is different, Meanings are different, How it appears, how it is read, How you feel about my truth, Or vice versa. Doesn’t mean we get to repaint another, As to accommodate our personal beliefs, Values, point of view. Respect,unconditionally like love, To each their own, Agree to disagree, that is true, love.. We are equally allowed to follow our truth, I will not censor my truth, as it means quite Differently than what’s being speculated. Your truth is yours, My truth is mine, No need to project blame, shame, concealed In compliments, sugar coating dislike. Don’t like something, Don’t read it, No need to react, Or come at someone rudely, All that shows, is your own issues. I am responsible for my truth, Not the way someone else takes it. There’s no harm in cuss words, Being in something that is not an attack, Threat, it’s not harming someone, Because my truth is colorful, passionate, And true to my heart. I am not here to live and conform to the expectations, you have created for me to live up to. Be spiteful or don’t be spiteful, Always be Unconditionally you, Without pointing out faults, As to condition someone to comfort you, Instead of you comforting yourself, That every truth doesn’t have to be the same, To be real, and you don’t have to like it, Let others be themselves, anyway… I don’t need your permission, Or your negative and unwanted input, As to conform me into your liking. I love myself, I love my truth, I love my life, Please, be that way towards your life too. Let us live our way, the most beautiful way, With our truth, shining the way. -P.S. Blessings and Gratitude, For reminding me to stand more solidly, In my own fucking truth, not giving a shit, About who doesn’t like it, and reminding me, Not everyone will like it, but it's not for them To like or live with, it’s only for me, as my truth, Is my truth… Your truth is your truth! Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror Love, Light, Peace be with you, Happy Travels, My Truth is not sourced In People Pleasing, I broke that mold, a very long time ago! Do you Know, What Matters????

Your heart, Your mind, Your body, Your Soul, Your Paths, Your life, That is truly the greatest Adventure “coming back home to yourself,” Means and is…. Realizing, owning who You think you are, not being concerned with who others want you to be... Owning and honoring who you choose to be, Who you are becoming, That is the best service, Any of us can provide, Through which we live, Through which we dream, Through which we create and Make all possible…. Lighting the way, Whichever way we choose, So does it pave and manifest Into this world, your immediate world, Encompassing you right now… Making You matter, Offers the same attraction, For other’s and theirs… Best Gift, Most admirable, All hunger for, Truly, Infinitely, Allow yourself to matter, Not on the back burner, But here, now.

No bullshit, Straight up, YOU, carving, You into all that is here. Doing your own thing, As in living it out-loud, As in loving it to your life, Invested, dedicated, Into all being, Going towards, What matters most to you, Invites others, To reflect this same mattering, In themselves forward, Making the best of everything, (Without outer conditioning, No comparing) Now, and forward… Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror As my head bows down,
Like a flower after a heavy rain, Tousled by the winds, I find gratitude, I rediscover hope, And when the sun comes Upon me, The rains dry, And my head rises again… I am refreshed, cleansed, Revived… Hope becomes me, Yet again, through a lesson, Through some confusion, The unraveling, Sheds me, Into who I am still, Yet to become. I honor each process, Following, leading, Listening, kneading, Allowing, releasing, To let me happen, To my own Life, My own path, My own way, Pace, developing, As each piece, part, Grows me… Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror In nature, In the world around me, So does its reflections, Can be found, In me… I am resiliently strong! “ As within, so without.”
As it rains, From the heavens above, Aligned through my eyes, So does more and more Of who I am to become, Unearths. As it shines sunny, From the cosmos above, Aligned from the tilt of my chin up, So does more and more Of who I am becoming, sprouts.. As its windy, From the North, or South, East or west, felt from my body, Aligning inside, So does more and more Of who I am to become, Changes direction or Follows my own ebb and flow, Honoring my own winds, Whichever direction needed, To take me now, forward… As the ground beneath me, Changes with season, Changes with evolution, Changes with my own travels, Aligning with my own rhythm, So does more and more Of who I am to become, Earth it self, Expand it self, Explore it self, Discover… Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror Attend with truth, compassion, gratitude,

In total presence, Observing slightly from a far, As to serve each space the room, To expand, Letting all potential be released… To be left open, doesn’t mean To be unprotected, It means to leave it open, Free flowing, acceptance, allowance, Of good to be created and to come forth, For Creativity, positivity to encompass us. As we live, breathe, put effort forth, Investing ourselves through which we do, As to let what our bodies conceal, Become what lights up our world, Ourselves.

But allowing the organic ebb and flow, Of light, energy, presence, time, As ever changing those are at source, Be to become, Live to be loved, Loved to be shared... Being creates the spaces for; Us to allow, Us to permit, Us to proceed. Allowing movement within us; To stir, to develop, To process, to get to know, To be encouraged, To strengthen our bravery, To be aware, awake, readily open, To utilize our gratitude, To traverse us to cross-over. Evolve by pursuing, showing up, Listening, Intending, intitating, Working, Living, Creating, Learning, experiencing, becoming through, Being open to emerge more openly. More Openly of ourselves, each other and the World around us, Waiting ever so patiently, attentively, To that which, we want to create, pave, Let become, of the moments offered, The spaces offered, opening to us, Every moment of every day, For us, through us, at source of ourselves, And this precious Universe we live in, To allow unlimited possibilities/spaces, To be embraced, carried out to our heart’s & soul’s content… Open for the taking, Open for the receiving, Open for its abundance always shares, Open for the creating, Open for the loving, the lighting, Open for you to invent, reinvent, Discover, put forth, allow, give, Be as you give this world and yourself, Life….
