If you're questioning if you're on the right track, than this one is for you. There are moments when doubt creeps in. Where the voices get louder, questioning if the decisions, your intuition, has guided you the right way. And sometimes, these moments when you feel lost, when there is only silence, when it feels tough, are the moments that shape you the most.

Hey love,

Let's be real,

Sometimes it feels like you have no idea where you're going.

You've done the work,

You've followed your intuition,

You've tried to listen to the signs.

And yet,

You look around and it still doesn't look how you thought it would.

And that moment right here,

Today,

That's the moment most people give up.

That's when the doubt starts crawling back in,

Whispering,

See,

You should have done it their way,

You're wasting time,

You're too far behind now.

But let me say something that maybe your heart has been aching to hear.

You were never lost.

You just stopped hearing yourself for a while.

Because the truth is,

The path you are walking is yours.

And that means it's going to look unfamiliar.

It's going to feel messy sometimes.

It's going to be ungoogable.

And that's not a sign to panic,

It's a sign that you're actually doing it right.

Because the people who live fully,

Who show up in their truth,

Who embody the light they came here to share,

They don't follow maps,

They follow resonance.

And sometimes that means walking through seasons of fog,

Of silence,

Of deep recalibration where nothing seems to be working.

But what if the stillness is working?

What if this moment where everything feels like it's paused is actually the moment you start hearing your own voice again?

What if clarity doesn't come from force,

But from remembering?

You don't have to have it all figured out right now.

You don't have to perform of your own becoming.

You're allowed to take today to remember yourself.

Who you were before they told you who you to be.

Who you are underneath the trying.

Who you are becoming without anyone else's expectations shaping it.

You are not lost.

You are not behind.

You are not on the wrong path.

You're just remembering who you truly are.

You're remembering why you are here on that earth.

And that remembering,

That is your way home.

Thanks Dana! I needed that exactly when you put that out there. I have been walking a path of striving to do everything right and stretching myself into the point that I relapsed and had to get back on track in my sobriety that I had taken for granted as a matter of routine and than let myself as an ICU nurse that was at the top of my game, get me too confident and when Covid came and I found all of my tools were put to the ultimate test, and they did allow me to do a lot of good and hopefully save a lot of people, but eventually, I was trying to be a superhero and I am human. I let my ego take control again and it crashed me into where I am now after losing everything I had gained except for one thing. ME!!! I went through rehab and am sober but I am now trying to pick up the pieces and when I feel like I am doing everything right and still not seeing what results I am expecting yet, it has been frustrating. But you gave me clarity to see that I an now here for my mom (diagnosed early-onset alzheimers), which we me and my mother both went through seeing my Nana go through alzheimers at a nursing home and making sure someone was there every night. And my dad who is actually the one that has been the one who is normally in need of the care, which my mom would do, as he had four heart attacks and three strokes. One of which I found him having as I was about to let him know I passed the NCLEX, and a year of rehab for him to relearn how to do everything again, And now I am struggling but here and knowing that every day I know I am walking in my light and best path and canโ€™t control whatever else goes on around me. The only thing I can control is my behavior and action and I am making sure to live up to my values and do whatever is right no matter how hard or non-glamorous. I love with my whole heart and that is the best I can do. That is what I was able to garner out of that short talk and sorry for the wordiness, but I just had to give context to the situation as it means that much. Thanks!! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผโ˜บ๏ธโค๏ธโ˜€๏ธ
