Closets...which one are you coming out of?

I love doors! I have taken photos of doors in Idaho, Montana, Utah, Equador,  and Panama to name a few places.  I love the textures, designs shapes, colors and never-ending character of doors.  I can set my imagination free creating stories and pictures of who comes in and out of these doors and the lives they must live. From the President of Equador to the poorest of villagers and everything in between.  Doors are amazing!

However, there are some doors that I have pondered lately that I must say I am not so fond of.  These doors seem to be meant more for hiding. Hiding clutter, games, clothing, coats, food and other such items from others view.  You know what doors I'm talking about and I'm guessing we all have at least one. Closet doors!

You just pictured yours right now, I saw it in your eyes. Picturing mine actually drew a smile across my face, mostly because you can't see it.  If you really wanted to see it I might let you, with the agreement of a warm batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies in your hands.

I love doors because they lead us in and out of comfortable places, fun places, places of entertainment and so much more. However, I am not so fond of closet doors because, just like things, instead of going in and out, they keep us, & our secrets...hidden. For a human soul, they become a place of shame, discouragement and leave people feeling less than those around them.

Closets hide many things: addictions, sickness, hardships, sexuality, weight, food, financial hardships & so much more.  Closets keep so many amazing gifts from being shared with others.  It doesn't matter the story or situation, closets are not healthy and not meant to be lived in.

In reality, closets are no more than hard conversations.  Whatever that conversation is, be willing to be real and to have it and allow others to do the same. No Judgment! One person's closet is not harder than another's. They are All just hard!  Allow yourself and others to come out of darkness and into the light and share the gift of Y-O-U, because Nobody can do it like you can. We want to participate in the gifts you have to offer.

If your closet is eating or food related, embarrassment of not exercising or thinking you

So enjoy doors and know, its time for all of us to come out of the closet...forever!
Until next time...
Go BE Great!!
