BE HERE NOW.
I hope that wherever you are at today, I hope you meet yourself with compassion. I say this to you as a gentle reminder also to myself, because, hell, it’s been a ride. 2020. A sea of emotions, ebbing and flowing between hopefulness and hopelessness and somewhere in between. If you’re like me, some days feel incredibly productive, I catch up on a lot of work and working out. Other days, I find myself crying into a bag of chips as I lay spread eagle in bed. As the days gradually warm and as flowers bloom, we begin to see little glimmers of hope, yet there is still much that is unknown about the future and the change that is occurring.
Change, in general, makes me feel some type of way. I love the comfort zone. I like my habits and rituals and I don’t love getting my shit stirred up. But here we are, and if there is one thing I am constantly being reminded of, it’s that change is the only thing that is certain. COVID or not. So, today I am choosing to accept the things I cannot control. I am choosing to lean into my own power. I am choosing to trust my process. I am choosing to use the resources and gifts I have to help others. I am choosing to use this time of privilege to do the work that feeds and nurtures my soul. I am choosing to rest. I am choosing to reconnect with family and friends. I am choosing to be here now.
“Here we are
Here & now
That’s all there is”
