June is widely considered “Pride Month.” To that end, Hay House UK is very thoughtfully and respectfully celebrating that notion and honored me by asking for a quote on the topic. I took some time to consider that and ultimately decided that I wanted to say something that more broadly celebrated the notion that being who you are is the key. We should all love ourselves. I also wanted something that sort of gave a nod back to Louise Hay since she was such a loving supporter of the LGBTQ+ community. So here’s what I came up with:
“I am safe and secure in the knowledge that the Divine had a hand in making me who I am. I am loved beyond measure and perfect because I embrace my true nature with joy and confidence.”
I have many, many students who charm me. Every single one does so for their own, special reasons. Those special reasons are almost always because they are so truly and authentically being who they really are. For example, I have a student who cusses a blue streak. Seriously, I don’t know if he can put together three sentences without a cuss word. Let’s call him Matthew.
Now, that’s not me. I rarely ever use a four-letter word, but that’s me being who I am. If Matthew didn’t use four-letter words, I would call 911 and send doctors or schedule an intervention. It isn’t that he cusses that I love, but that he is an angel guy who gives loving readings and also cusses. It’s uniquely and genuinely him. And the shameless outpouring of his true nature gives me joy because I can see his personal expression of the Divine shining through him.
And I love that.
I adore diversity. I always have. When I was an accountant, I would purposefully hire people who were totally different from each other so that we could all benefit from learning from one another. My longest-term friends enchant me because as time goes by, I continue to learn the depths of their own uniqueness. My friends truly are like snowflakes – each one infinitely and Divinely unlike anyone else.
It took me decades of life on this beautiful planet to come to a place where I could be “shameless”and prideful about my true nature. And that doesn’t just mean being a gay guy. It also means being an angel guy, a tarot guy, a classic car guy, a sci-fi nerd, and a general, all around laughing goof-ball. I love all of that. I embrace all of that. I am all of that and more.
When you are the true you that you are… when you fully and shamelessly embrace your true nature, then it just makes me love you. And I will also go out on a limb here and say to you that when you are being who you truly are, then hate and judgement fall away. When you are who you truly are then you are fully acting as a child of the Divine and that means hate and judgement have no foothold.
Hate and judgement cannot withstand the Light of the Divine.
So go ahead. Charm me. Enchant me! Make me fall in love with you by being your true, authentic self.
And then, fall in love with yourself.
Loving you hopelessly,
~Radleigh

Thank you for sharing your life and perspective. You filled a huge gap that we all need to hear from love and guidance. Wishing you well.
One of the beautiful and magical things about accepting who you are is realizing how incredible you are – as the saying goes there is no one else like you nor will there be anyone like you. How fantastic is that! To revel in that knowledge, to love happily and freely. To embrace and see everyone as they are. What a gift!
Beautifully said. My wife and I are celebrating 45 years together.
That’s amazing!!!!
Dear Radleigh,
I LOVE YOU because you are SO real! You tell it like it is and share your beautiful self with all of us. I have always loved myself, never wished I was somebody else nor anything like that because I had the most wonderful parents in the world. They were supportive, disciplinarians (I got my tail spanked now and then and I deserved it and I don’t think it hurt my psychy at all.) lol I was a major tomboy because I had 3 brothers and all the kids in the neighborhood were boys (14 of them) so if I wanted to play I had to play “boys’ games”! We weren’t born with gold spoons in our mouths and we all went to work as soon as we were 16. I’ve always been spiritual as far back as I can remember (3 years old). I never got in trouble because I knew someone was watching over me. I also knew a lot of stuff that I didn’t know how I knew it and just assumed everyone else knew it too. I was probably around 10 before I knew everybody didn’t know what I knew. Somehow I found you by accident, the best “accident” of my life! You are so positive and especially encouraging about Tarot! I have all your decks and books and use them all – you are my hero! I am married to my husband of 57 years and he doesn’t share my interest in spiritualism but I can influence his mind, unintentially – like thinking about some random place I’d like to eat and he will suggest it – still amazes me. I have “potty mouth” but just use it in expressions as I would never use it towards anyone, not ever. I’m not sure why, but you talking about that gave me the urge to share my blessed life with you. lol
Thank you for the blogs you post. I love reading them all & look forward to them! You always have great stories & a wonderful way of looking at life. Thank you
I so appreciate all of the letters you send us. About a week ago you sent a little message. It was about encouragement. Needing a sign you are on the right path. And everything is happening exactly the way it’s supposed to. I took a screenshot of that and read it almost everyday. You truly are a blessing and an angel
Radleigh; you, are such a “real” person. Love your values your undying appreciation and belief in ” human nature”, even when some fall off their bikes sometimes. You “help”, where you can through your angel guidance and Oracle and tarot cards.
I thank you, humbly, with an open heart, for all that you offer to teach us connection to the divine.
Blessings to you.
Namaste
