The Right To Be Me
I recently exhibited at a women’s business expo in Holbrook, NY with about fifty other business owners.
On the morning of the expo I stepped into my closet expecting to reach for my neatly pressed black business suit, but instead my lime green, floor length dress with its flowing Hawaiian leaves and pleated geometric patterned bottom caught my eye. I looked down at the white platform sandals on the floor below and thought how comfortable my feet would feel after standing in them for five or six hours compared to the high heels I planned to wear.
As I considered my choices, a memory of a similar event I attended years ago came to mind. A fellow female business owner, noticing that I was wearing a floral spring dress, thought it necessary to tell me, “You need to be in a business suit, if you want to be taken seriously as a female business owner.”
I stood there for a moment allowing the energy of that statement to affect my decision, when my inner voice asked, “Who do you want to be, Jean?” Over the years I have come to know the internal guidance that my higher self offers and have learned to trust it. “As I reached for the dress, I answered, “I want to be me.”
Each of us has been taught the beliefs expected in our roles as women, daughters, wives, and mothers; beliefs that define us by keeping us in neat little boxes. Yet if we pay attention to our own inner voice, it will always say, “You have the right to be you in everything you think, say or do. You can allow yourself to follow the beliefs of others, or choose to be guided by your own heartsong.”
I knew the Universe was affirming that I had made the right choice by the wonderful comments I got from other participants throughout the day about my lime green dress. None of those compliments even came close to the one I received when I walked over to my neighbor’s table with its display of beautiful women’s hats. As I picked up a huge white one trimmed in a thin black velvet ribbon with a large double bow, I felt like Eliza Doolittle stepping into the Ascot race scene in My Fair Lady. A friend walking by stopped, noticed me in my hat, and asked, “What have you done with yourself, Jean-you are absolutely glowing.” I smiled and answered back, “I’m just expressing my right to be me.”
