The "Hello Me!" Awakening

This page is not about your faults; it is about your awakening. It is the point where the "True Color" you saw in Alton's art is no longer a secret you're hiding, but a reality you are accepting so you can change the trajectory of your life and family.

ACCESS (Genesis 3:1)

The Exposure: My True Colours: God

We identify Secrecy/Isolation—the compulsion to cover up mistakes and shame, specifically to avoid the necessary confrontation that brings accountability.

The Awakening/Acceptance: Hello Me!

This is your "Hello Me!" moment. It is the awakening where you realize: "I have been using Secrecy to protect myself from the confrontation over a broken command, but all I've done is isolate myself and destroy the trust that could have healed me."

Transforming the 'Shame' into Family Strength

The "Hello Me!" moment establishes Radical Disclosure as a core family strength. By choosing to walk in the light and face the confrontation directly, you model that true strength comes not from avoiding consequences, but from accepting them and seeking restoration.

How to Act Today on Your "Hello Me!" Moment:

1. Stop the Cover-Up: Identify one "fig leaf" (excuse or behavior) you use to maintain secrecy, and commit to abandoning it immediately.

2. Voice the Truth: Confess the specific secret (from Question 1) and the broken command (from Question 2) to your trusted partner or accountability partner right now, without minimizing or deflecting.

3. Start the Disclosure: Initiate a new habit this week of immediately disclosing any minor error or broken boundary to your partner within 30 minutes of it happening, practicing speed over shame.
