Exposure

Today is our birthday!!! It has been exactly one year since the website launched and I wrote my first blog. What a year it has been. It has made me remember why I started this whole process in the first place. I wanted to connect with people and help them deal with their trauma and anxiety that the pandemic was sure to bring to the surface. It was important for me to share my own experiences and let you know that you are not alone.

Generally speaking, people like to use the word karma when a situation turns around on someone that has been doing something for a period of time. I won’t disagree with that. The actual definition is “the force created by a person’s actions that some people believe causes good or bad things to happen to that person”. Karma has paid a visit to my side of town in several forms this week and the consequences of karma is leading to exposure which is where I am most interested.

First, in a wonderful act of karma, an individual I know has been extremely miserable in the workplace. The “powers” that be around them did very little to include them and seemed to always target them first when something goes awry. As any normal person would, they looked for and found another job. Not just any job, but one that they actually wanted all along with super perks and they don’t have to leave the company. The karma is that their new role will give them oversight on the very people who made their life uncomfortable. Exposure is coming.

In my Employee Resource Group Leadership roundtable, one of the items we are fighting against is retaliation at the workplace. Even the set-up, legally binding, perfectly timed ones. We encountered such a scenario this week. While it is still unfolding, it is our belief the position was “eliminated” because said individual spoke truth to power and got in the face of the people at the top and called out their white supremacy. The karma is, by letting them go, they are now free to become a consultant and we as a resource group can invite them back as a guest speaker. Exposure is coming. They will not be censored.

Dirty secrets have a way of tearing families apart and bringing individuals together. This week, a list of dirty secrets was exposed in a family that held them in too long. A war will go on. Relationships will be severed however there will be healing and growth for others.

I grew up listening to an expression, people who live in glass houses shouldn’t cast stones. The reason this resonates so true right now is that while we (society) are so busy kicking dirt on other people and talking trash about them and their loved ones, we need to be more concerned about ours. The land mines can explode at any time. I don’t paint a perfect family portrait because that is not what my family looks like. We are dysfunctional at times however for the most part through the years we have done the work to break the generational curses.

Karma is inevitable. I received some good karma myself this week. What you put out there you will surely get back. On the flip side, exposure is real too. My Pastor said at the beginning of the year that this is the year for exposure and every time something major happens, I call her and tell her, another exposure. Then I pray and say, I hope I’ve atoned for my past sins!

It’s time to stop protecting, stop antagonizing, stop judging or wherever you find yourself in this message. Exposure is real and it will come to light. Prepare yourself for it. If you are sending out good vibes, keep on. Karma got the message that the states are opening up and SHE is making her rounds!

Until next time, be safe.

Thank you for rocking out with me!
