It’s been over a year since I took the time to sit down and write. I was prepared to leave this little blog alone until I had “more time” or “better words.” However, the universe had other plans for me, and too many divine coincidences and people in the last few weeks have reminded me why I need to get back to it. Writing has always come fairly easily to me, and my greatest love language, both to give and receive, is words of affirmation. Other than pictures, words are the only tangible things we can refer back to to capture moments in time. What I’m letting go of in returning back to this is the need for my writing to sound “good” or well-crafted. This is a piece of my heart, and in connecting to others, that is enough. SO here I am!
Have you ever felt stuck? Like feet dragging, in a valley, or on autopilot? Whether the stuck feeling lives in big decisions, relationship questions, or every day hiccups, I find that this feeling can only be escaped once something jolts you into go-mode. For me, it’s been a culmination of the past few months, and the incredible inspiration of leaders I have the privilege of working with. I’ve learned what it feels like to be grateful, rooted in my values, authentic in my goals, and a little more risky on the daily. Everything about those actions is wildly messy and inconsistent, but my heart feels lighter, and my joy is greater. I’ve slowed down enough to see the little moments that could’ve been missed.
So what now? I’m going to tell my story more consistently on here. Do I have goals about how often? Of course. Will I miss some of those? Definitely. But I’m pretty excited to be back on this journey that’s life giving, and lovely to look back on. For now, I’ll soak in this lightness and bring it to those that’ll take it in too.
