"Friday the 13th" Episode Six

Welcome to Honor Your Truth

The “Is It True?” Series

“Friday the 13th is a very unlucky day”

You may not want to know this….so stop here if you don’t. However, if you are anything like me, you are still reading. Curiosity killed the cat…didn’t you know that? One day, I will explore just why it killed the cat. It doesn’t seem quite right, now does it? Technically speaking, I don’t believe it did anything to the cat, but I’ll check it out. I wrote it down, so be looking for an episode when I may have some answers for you.

What the heck…why is there a “w” in answers…look at it. Who put it there? It doesn’t make sense…like comb or gnaw. It threw me for a loop and I couldn’t figure out how to spell it. It’s a trick. I am continuously searching for answers. As if when I get them, I will escape any and all maladies, terror, and tears. Sometimes just when I think I got it, there is a “w” hiding somewhere. Even when faced with this potential danger, I don’t want to run and hide, I still want to know the truth. Somehow knowing it sets me free.

This is good news believe it or not….that I would rather know the truth above all. Even though I may fear the truth, I still believe I can handle it. I believe I can make it through any possible pain or grieving. I believe that ultimately, I will be ok. The time between having a sense of what’s going on and finding out what is really going on…..is the hardest. Waiting for the truth is excruciating. This is partially due to the “noise in my head”, the chatter that comes up with endless possible scenarios, verdicts, answers with a “w”. The more I am in the practice of letting go, the easier the waiting. Acceptance…it is what is. I show up, I’m real, I let go. Period.

So getting back to Friday, cats, fear, luck and the number 13……here is the truth. Try as I may, I cannot escape Friday the 13th anymore than I can escape any other day of the week, nor would I want to. They come, they go. I laugh. I cry. I do my best. No matter how careful I am not to step on a crack or under a ladder, stuff happens. If I sit around and wait 7 years for bad luck to come, I’m sure I’ll find it somewhere. If I don’t have a “lucky” day today….tomorrow I may think it was lucky based on new information. If you read Episode Five, you know what I’m sayin’. The truth is I never know what is going to happen so why not think positively. Beyond honoring my truth, I can't control anything anyway. Happy Friday the 13th! Honor Your Truth!
