I must confess, I am a Bridgerton fan. Whether you are or not, the last episode of Bridgerton is a must-watch and resonates deeply with our times.
In this episode, Penelope, our season's heroine, reminds us all to SHINE OUR LIGHT. She urges us to STAND UP, STAND OUT, SPEAK UP, and have the courage to honor and share our brilliance.
This is a message I want to expand on.
I grew up in a world where standing out and speaking up seemed unsafe. My grandmother fled Vienna in 1938 as Hitler took over her country. It took her and her family two years to reach Argentina and settle there, not knowing the language and having lost everything. My parents started their family amid persecution, dictatorship, and "desaparecidos" in Argentina; they have stories of friends who vanished overnight.
Speaking up was risky; staying small was the way to survive.
But now, staying small is dangerous, and being quiet even more so.
I'm writing this note from a beautiful terrace, watching the sunrise in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Today, on this full moon solstice Friday, I'm creating space to connect with my brilliance, to explore what standing out and speaking up looks like for me, and tapping into my courage to play bigger. This letter to you is my first step.
So my friend, what could be your first step towards honoring and sharing your brilliance and speaking up?
Yours Truly,
Dolores
