Let your authentic self shine

           When you are very honest with yourself
           and brave enough, you can express yourself fully.
           Whatever people may think, it is all right.
           Just be yourself.  That is actual practice.

In the sign of Leo, which we entered on July 23, it's your time to shine.  This means being true to your authentic self, which includes appreciating, honoring the unique flame that is you -- by speaking your truth, doing what you most love doing, and shining in appearance and action.  And if you're not used to, say, speaking your mind, observe how you feel when you do, as well as what happens.
