Tree leaves wave, ocean waves
“I feel like I have a calling”
Answer.
Rhythmic flaps
But even a bird has to rest
Am I good enough?
Imposture syndrome strikes
I am great
As a good friend states,
“We’re creative, resilient, and whole.”
Sitting in a cowgirl hat and brown leather boots
Ranchera
Con mucha alma y amor
Recently told I love as a coping mechanism
I disagree
I love because that’s why we are all here
And yes, it’s vital to decipher passion from love
Patience does not favor passion
I am learning patience…
As we search for purpose ❤
Hungry for nourishment, for change, for anything that swings the pendulum the other way
Yearning for home, for solace…
Anything to alleviate the sorrow that had robbed me of my independence and self-assurance
Unwilling to receive the gift of rest, love, compassion, and surrenderance
The fighter grumbles…
Blind to the possibility of surrendering the pain, anguish, and heartbreak…
Rather than being tormented by the past, surrender to the present
Sit still and listen to the breeze… feel the warm sun's rays
Notice when you find yourself pacing and
Slow down.
Sit in the discomfort
Remember, you are stronger than you think you are
Surrender to the unknown
And… return home
Anxiety paralyzes the authentic version of yourself
The disease of the future terrorizes the present
It makes you feel inadequate and unsteady
Reject it. Fight it.
Inhale for 5 luxurious seconds
And breathe out slowly for 5 or more
Repeat until your vision crystalizes
Free yourself from your mind
Plant your feet firmly onto the ground
Put both of your hands on your hips
Feel the pull of gravity
Sink into your power
Breathe.
The defining line
Physical Intimacy
Magnetically instant
Impatient
Potentially surface level
Chaotic at times
Nurturing at others
Difficult dance
Enticing, deciding, sacrificing
Tactical, tangible
Easy to copy
A quick-fix, a bandaid
From point A to point B
