Inner Work.

RightHerLife came from a place and time of brokenness. A place where I felt that my voice wasn’t valuable. A time when it was easier for me to lash out at others than it was to forgive them. This journey was cultivated in seasons of hurt, trauma, confusion, anxiety, bitterness, anger, rage, rebelliousness, and insecurities.

... all of those things, I needed to make RIGHT.

I was never comfortable in any of my conditions. To be honest, I wept at the heaviness I carried unwillingly. Instead of fighting it, I suppressed everything. I was a bag lady of my own thoughts, comparison, shame, guilt, pain, and disappointment.

While suppression took over, I was suffering in silence. Dealing with a suppressing spirit eats away at your voice and mind. It’s a bully to your heart and pulls at your purpose. My suffering exposed what I idolized - my problems.

...all of those things, I needed to make RIGHT.

Writing was my initial tool to fight back and find my voice. Years of writing… Years of surrendering... Years of unfolding, revealing, and unwiring bad habits, behaviors, and ways.

I fought to articulate my feelings.

I fought to express deep thoughts.

I fought to no longer make “I don’t know” the answer to all of my questions.

I fought for substance.

I fought for my own acceptance.

I fought to believe that my strength was in my story.

It wasn’t until my early twenties that I realized my that neither my experiences or my writing was just for me. My experience and exposure to life’s circumstances were meant to help pull others through their own trials. My writing birthed a desire to be right within, regardless of what the process may look and/or feel like.

I heard that “you have to be ok with your experience being your source of writing”, which means I will only write from a place of experience, vulnerability and transparency.

I never thought of myself as a “writer”, but I knew I was evolving to be the RightHer in Him. My life forever changed when I submitted to the assignment. 

The inner work is never done because we are imperfect people but God has made me a sensitive soul that will always be drawn back to righteousness. I am forever on a mission to do the work, |INNER WORK|, because our biggest problem isn’t outside of us, but inside of us - our own hearts.

So, Right You; Right your life.
