I hold the leaders and experts of the world in safe containers to rise to their full power.
I connect loved ones with those who have passed on in traumatic ways for peace and closure.
I can pass on a person's blueprint of WHO they are set to BE in this world since they and The Universe decided it before they were born.
But I can’t spell. Or do complex mathematics. I often forget my timetables. My writing is often presented backward and inside out in thought.
Yet my speaking, my voice, allows people to access transcendent places in the galaxy.
I can sit and re-read the copy. Over and over and not catch grammar/spelling errors because it actually LOOKS correct. I’m seeing something different than what is on the page.
This type of Dyslexia is more common than it is given credit for.
My father had typical dyslexia and it was difficult even to read a handwritten sentence of his because it was nonsensical most of the time.
While my father was diagnosed with dyslexia, school never caught it in me.
Even University failed to identify it.
The reason is I had developed great coping mechanisms. Long before Grammarly was a thing. Spell check was still pretty much in its infant state back then.
Thus I spent hours and hours learning how to write in a certain way and going to the tutoring center.
Growing up in a University town where everyone is over-educated, I really felt “Dumb” and “Stupid.” Since that is what I was called most of my life by my peers.
Coming online with my business was a whole new challenge because I had to start getting GOOD at explaining the complex nature of what I do…in a simple and easy-to-read way.
I spent about a year crying and wanting to throw my computer out the window as I was learning this.
Pouring over every little period, run-on sentence…
My field of expertise has often been held to a different standard of intelligence and rigorous scrutiny. Thus, my dyslexia had people judging me and my abilities before they even met me.
This is true for so many other leaders out there too.
Recently I’ve said The HELL with it.
I won’t spend 30 minutes agonizing over a small post anymore. Or waiting till I get to my computer to start the polishing process.
I will just do my best and post. This means that spelling and grammar errors slip through.
Well-meaning people have contacted me to ‘correct’ me.
Nope. Not buying it.
Not being shammed.
I write my own copy because I channel it.
I post it when spirit tells me.
I don’t need a team of editors or copywriters to babysit me.
My brilliance of energy shines through and the people soul contracted to work with me don’t even notice dyslexia. Literally.
My energy is best spent in my zone of expertise. And everything else can literally go bye-bye.
I want to share this with you because 1) You might have the same thing happening in your world, or 2) When you see it, don’t judge anyone based on it or think they are sloppy business owners. Cause that is not the case.
Dyslexia wiring actually helps me channel. SEE. Feel.
These are my unique settings and I love them.
It’s taken 40 years for me to accept this about myself fully.
If you are a dyslexic business owner, please know there are others of us out there. We’ve got your back. Focus on your zone of expertise and shine!
