This is the ongoing journal of my personal awakening. Through up to date and un-edited realness, I hope to help you walk through your own awakening with more balance, love and ease.
Everywhere I look I see stop signs,
neon lights, flashing “danger ahead!”
The messages come from inside —
it’s only me trying to stop myself,
getting in my own way.
I can spout off endless reasons
why I shouldn’t or couldn’t
do something that scares me.
Self-critical voices fill my mind.
I seems like I can’t get the words out just right.
An urgency to share,
yet when I put pen to paper
my mind goes blank.
But what if “blank” is really
a fresh slate?
A place to begin again
with fresh perspective.
It’s ok.
Even when I can’t get into the flow
I trust it’s still there.
I’m waiting in the wings,
watching the swinging ropes —
Double Dutch.
Waiting for my turn to jump.
The doubt creeps in.
What if I mess up?
What if I fall flat on my face?
That’s ok, I tell the little one —
the small voice within.
We can always take a breath
and begin again.
