hello everyone,welcome to my blog! i’m vanessa furino, the creator of it. this is a special space for me because it regroups the inner journey i’ve had in the last few years. a rich inner journey that is allowing me to learn to love myself that much more and reconcile what was once left in the dark. as i’m discovering, i can’t help but want to share all the treasures i’m finding along the way because we are all in a way helping each other find our way through life i believe. the reason i named my blog your sweet soul was the big need to find sweetness within myself. for the longest time i didn't feel so sweet inside, i might have camouflaged this suffering by being so sweet on the outside, but the more i did this the further i moved away from the true authenticity of my soul and the more bitterness i grew within myself. while making the commitment a few years ago to learn to love myself, i was slowly discovering that my soul is so sweet and that i have nothing to fear. as a matter of fact, the more i listened to it and really learned it’s true needs, it’s true authenticity the fuller and sweeter i’ve been feeling inside. now just recently i moved to the second chapter of this blog. i changed the tag line “rediscovering the sweetness that lives within” to “the sweeter on this inside, the bolder on the outside” because this is what is happening. the more that i’m cultivating this inner garden of sweetness, the safer i am feeling and therefore the safer i am feeling to take risks in my outside life. i am now less inclined to please the outside world and seem sweet , and small and never disrupt the boat awhile an ocean of despair is brewing on the inside. i now much prefer to release all the waves that come through in order to keep my space peaceful. when we let ourself bloom and shine like a bright flower, we are giving ourself so much love and we don’t even know it. so my message to you is learn to tend the sweetness that you have inside yourself and you will be surprised what gifts will come out of it.enjoy this blog that has a lot of love in it.from one sweet and bold soul, to an other.vanessa
