This is Fruitycake. Summer is loud here in this Italy place. The town becomes alive with persons talking, laughing, jumping in the sea, traffic, and the screaming cicadas. It’s hard to even hear yourself think. Maybe that’s why I bark instead.

But sometimes, persons find it easier not to hear their own thoughts, and they prefer chaos or loudness so that they don’t have to deal with their inner voice. That inner voice may have something to say. When silence is scary, there is something that you need to hear.

It’s time for today’s affirmation. Are you ready to say it out loud with me?

I will not let chaos drown out my inner voice. I will sit in silence and allow myself to hear my own thoughts. Those thoughts and my voice are there for a reason. I will listen. I will allow myself to hear what I need to hear so that I can make changes for a better life.

Family, don’t ignore the words in your mind. When the world drowns in chaos, be the one who silently makes changes and surprises everyone, including yourself. I love you.

P.S. Family, if my words help you each day and you would like to help us, we could really use support right now. We are trying to cover necessities, groceries, and supplies, and we also need to get Girl Person to Genoa for important appointments and errands that we cannot put off. Every donation, no matter the size, helps us keep going. Thank you for listening, for caring, and for being part of our family. We love you.
