So that I could realize 
my wholeness. 
my enoughness. 
as is. 
as I am. 
no matter what is happening in my life, around me, or within me. 

Since quarantine started, a lot has been brought up to the surface to be examined and released. For me, and I’m sure for you too if you’ve at all been paying attention. 

Routines. Habits. Relationships. Beliefs. Programs. Patterns. Reactions. Lifestyle choices. Finances. Ways of relating to the planet we call home. Media consumption. The shadows and underbellies of ourselves and the collective. 

I feel like it’s been coming in waves, and fracturing my foot is just the latest of them washing over me. 
Cleansing. 
Purifying. 
🌊✨

2020 feels like one great big year of great big growing pains. An intense, incremental purging in order to invite in transformation. 

We’ve needed the space. 
We’ve needed the time. 
We’ve needed the awareness to finally look at all the shit we’ve been bogged down by that, at a minimum, isn’t serving us and the greater good, and many times is also harming us and/others. We’ve needed to let that stuff go so that we can grow. Individually and together. 

I know I so desperately needed these wake up calls. As much as I’m getting really REALLY tired of being stuck at home (and I consider myself a homebody) and as much as I really REALLY wish I hadn’t broken my foot (so now I’m even more immobilized🙄), this year so far has been full of experiences and growth. 

When I take the time to pause and look, I’m seeing signs of that everywhere✨🌱 And I’m feeling and seeing it within me too. Just the other night I even noticed my eyes look different - clearer, brighter, more ✨full of life✨ we are shifting on every level🦋

The more I let go of the things I thought I needed to hold onto in order to feel safe, accepted, lovable... the more I’m opening up to realize that what I really need in order to feel safe, accepted and loved is to keep letting go of the external and turn my gaze within. To start there, and stay there. In the heart. In me. ❤️
