A battle

Where did your name come from?

I’ve told the story before that my dad wanted me called Ann. My mum refused to spend her life correcting people who called me Annie because she hated the name; seriously thank you mum. I don’t hate it but…

My aunt named me, she did better but not great. I don’t think my mum ever told me what her choice was, but my guess is that I would have liked it. She was also spiritually connected and I think she would have intuited well.

I’m a Debra who spent her youth being called Debbie, nothing against the name it’s just not me. But I didn’t dislike it enough to correct people.

But I’m not a Debra. When I met Tony I introduced myself as Debra for the first time ever. Shortly thereafter I decided on Deb, I don’t mind Deb’s. They’re both friendly. They’re also simple and straightforward. I like that.

My surnames though! I’ve never had one that didn’t need spelling. People literally freeze half way through Hawken is their brain is screaming to write Hawkins. A name I really can’t vibrate with! It’s quite funny.

What’s in a name?

Your identity. If it feels right love it. If you flinch when you hear it, change it. If you don’t feel like yourself when you hear your name, do something about it as soon as you can.

It doesn’t have to be major, Deb worked for me. But it should be done. Self identification and actualisation is key to feeling comfortable in your own skin.

People comfortable with their names, well done parents, won’t understand this, but people who don’t feel like themselves will. It does matter.

I once helped a lady intuit her real names, which I won’t put here obviously, but the names are perfect for her. She looks more like herself now. Has a glow.

Think about it Don’t rush it. Feel each name out. You’ll know.

Some people in the spiritual field find their soul name, which I guess is your favourite? Amos just said no, it’s your energetic resonance in sound so your first ever name. Okay, that makes sense because I know mine and hearing it just makes me happy. I’ve just realised why.

It means love. That makes so much sense to me.

The name ends with Ra…sound ‘rah’. Ra is the morning sun.

You see – everything is in your name.

One thing I want to do is feel, be, and represent love to those around me so that they feel safe with me.

I try share it in my writing, but it’s not the same as when the energetic presence and voice presence are…well…present. Which is a gift of course.

When you follow the spiritual path you’re seeking to find and become ‘the light’. It’s not a showing off thing, as some do try, it’s not an ‘I’m better than you thing’, that would be a betrayal of the light. It’s simply a heart and soul calling to be a force for good.

But so many people have hurt me in the past that I decided when I rebuilt myself as a person that as much as I humanly could, note the humanly, I would be love.

I’ll keep the faith. And try not to trip over my humanity too much. 🤞🏻

I know myself too well to be overcome by my own magnificence. 🤣🤷‍♀️🙏🏻💖💖💖

Wonderful Wednesday
