La Voz

In the 10 days and 8 posts since I allowed myself to dare to speak and dream, Wonder Woman Speaks has been rewarded with over 500 page views in 10 countries. That’s mind f-ing blowing! Me, who has allowed perfectionism to keep me from trying countless new things from playing ANY sport to speaking my mind in various settings and new experiences. Me, who has let, “having no one to go with,” keep me from stepping out into bigger, better, more fun-filled venues.

This time it’s my newly freed “voice” that is the true winner. And the irony is, it’s LA VOZ that is my inspiration behind it. Call it conscience, true-self, the universe or God.  We each have it within us. Some of us hit the “ignore” button out of fear, shame or indifference. But, we are truly designed, created and re-directed to do something on this earth. To ensure it’s possible, we are granted gifts known as skills and talents that enable us to flourish in the areas our VOICE tells us to go. It’s not always easy. Sometimes it speaks to us in a whisper as delicate as a mild summer breeze, while other times it screams at us and if we don’t listen, causes the proverbial shoe to fall in the form of road blocks. It doesn't mean we are all meant to be CEO’s, doctors, or parents. That’s part of it, we don’t know what our mission is, though we can choose to accept it, or not.

I think part of truly growing up is learning to listen to La Voz whether it feels comfortable or not, safe or scary, sensible or impossible. We each have something we were put here to do and what a better place this would be if we all walked in faith, no matter our circumstances.

You were made to be awesome, inspiring and creative. Escucha La Voz.
