Letter from J.H
Dear Dyan:
I’m 23 years old and live with my mother. My parents are divorced. My mom is moving to another state soon and I don’t think she wants me to go with her and I don’t think I want to go with her anyway. My dream is to be a singer, but my mom doesn’t seem very supportive of this and neither does my dad. I’m taking voice lessons and piano lessons and I’m paying for those myself. I feel anxious and nervous all the time. I feel very alone. I buy my mom cigarettes and pop and do anything she asks. Why can’t she support me in my dream?
J. H.

Dear J:
First of all, know that we are never alone even if it feels that way. We are always surrounded by love even if we can’t see it. Parents just want the best for their children. What appears to be non-support from your parents is really just concern. They don’t want to see your dreams get crushed. However, from a spiritual point of view, this is fear based and nothing gets created from fear. The real power is in the love. So follow your heart and follow your dreams and be willing to see where that takes you. There is nothing to be afraid of. There are no limitations unless we believe that there are. The other thing you need to know as you go on your journey is that self-validation does not come from the outside. It comes from inside you. Once you have given yourself that gift, you can shine that out in the form of some very special music. The universe is waiting to hear from you, J. And so am I. Go for it!
