Wherever Life Takes Me

I will go

Wherever life takes me, I’ll go.

I’m done chasing, grasping, holding on for dear life.

I’m done fearing fear.

I remember I once believed I had to do all this for other people. Or at least that’s the lie I told myself. Others needed me, so I better not break down and collapse under the weight of it all.

It’s funny how people tell us to stay strong long before we’ve had the chance to meet our true strength. It’s also funny how saying, and believing this is often what keeps us from knowing our true strength.

That is until I met my strength. Breaking down was breaking through for me.

Dark night of the soul.

I wasn’t prepared for just how painful, mind-blowing and life-changing my life became.

I am a tiny fish in a giant pond.

Still, I’m nursing the fractured parts of me that needed to be broken open. Still, I’m piecing together what has happened and what I’m doing with myself and my life. Grieving the old and easing into the new. Befriending all of these unknowns around me that were once dark monsters.

I know I must listen in, to know where to go and what to do next.

But still, all I hear is silence.

I’m trying too hard, again. I’m being impatient.

Patience is important dear one. Be still.

Forcefulness creates resistance to the beauty that is here now, and the brilliance that is waiting to unfold for us naturally.

People may tell us this is childish, or naïve, or woo woo.

Though it’s not, it’s wise.

We must learn to listen to the divine feminine once more.

When we’re finding life becomes harder and harder to plan, it is often a beautiful sign we are attracting, calling in our blessings, opening ourselves up to receiving.

Deeper and deeper I am called to trust, to delve into the feminine wisdom of my ancestors. To harness the essence of love and energize myself with the beauty that surrounds me.

I am a free spirit and I now know there exists space where I am embraced, where I belong.

I’ve been there before. Many times. It’s home.

As I call more of this energy in, I invite you to join me.

Wherever life takes us.

We will go.

Thanks for reading ❤
