Hey there.
Welcome to a hit of hope.
And fair warning,
This one's a little bit salty.
So if that isn't your jam.
I wish you all the best.
So sometimes.
It feels easiest.
Safest.
To stay small.
To pull back.
To curl in.
And as someone who's gone through some shit,
Let me just say.
That's okay.
It is okay to do what you need to do.
To feel safe.
To protect.
To nest.
Even.
To hide.
Take a deep breath in.
And let it go.
Sometimes the work.
Is to find what makes you feel safe.
So you can soften.
And start to move away from fight.
And free.
Take a deep breath in.
And let it go.
Sometimes the work.
Is to grow still.
Still enough to hear.
The smallest Whisper.
And that whisper might be saying things.
Yield.
Trust.
And maybe even more.
When the time is right.
Maybe the time.
Is to breathe.
To move beyond the comfortable now.
The always have,
The never will.
To brave the wilderness of.
I don't know.
Not yet.
And can it be?
Yes.
There will come a time when the answer is yes.
When you can finally brave being the big spirit you are meant to be.
But there's something we need to remember as we're doing this.
And it is that we.
Are not the enemy.
We do not have to point the swords at our tender selves.
And we also don't have to keep stepping into the fucking jaws of fear.
Or to keep giving in to the pull of numb dolls.
When it's time.
Remember now.
Is a chance.
Now is a chance to make the choice.
To make the choice to be alert.
Not afraid.
To be willing to live in the tangle of.
Don't know.
Anne.
Why not?
To live as one astonished,
To be ravished by rapture.
And when we can do that,
Our bright eyes begin to shine with joy.
Power.
Breathe.
Brave trusting your inner compass.
That it might unfailingly lead you.
To love.
And magic.
To those places where you get to delight in your spirit,
Where you are ready to leap and bound after mystery,
To run,
But only because you are after joy.
Because you cannot be restrained.
Brave knowing.
That love will make mistakes.
In the midst of ache.
And longing,
There is grace.
And there is the big mystery that is trying to tell you what you need to know.
So brave.
Living mile.
And trust.
And from there.
.
.
Live like a fucking miracle.
Live light and shine.
