i'm dropping

I’m dropping my expectations of doing it all
Going for a walk with a friend
Meeting for dinner
Home Depot with my love

I don’t need to be everywhere, all the time
I can take some time for me
I can rest, release, relax

I relinquish control of the laundry, the dishes, the vacuuming
It waits for me, no matter how long I wait
And so I’m not going to rush

I’ll take my time
Remembering what my Nana always said
”The dust can wait, life cannot”

And so I will no longer carry around guilt
But shift to gratitude
Gratitude for a home that needs tending, dishes that need washing, weeds that need to be picked

I’m dropping the burdens I don’t need
And clearing space for what’s to come
What’s unknown
What will fill me up

Trusting that letting go is opening me up to opportunity

she will whisper

She will whisper; beautiful child you are as you are.
Be in the moment.
Release the reigns of judgment you cast on yourself.
Release your should have's, could have's and must do's.

All you need to do is to breathe and be. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Soak in the energy of the moment.
Allow it to flow through you and with you.
Don't push too hard on the road ahead.
Give it a chance to greet you and open up to you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Explore the side paths.
Stop to smell the flowers, pick the ripe berries and savor their flavor.
This time is yours.
Sink into it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Plant your feet on the ground.
Hold your head high and know that you are being taken care of, watched over, and seen.
Know that you are worthy of love, dreams coming true and a moment of silence to sit, reflect, and unearth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Be right here.
Present with the light shining from your heart.
Feel the way it shines.
Breathe, just breathe.

Place your hands over your heart and feel its rhythm. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Know that you are as you should be and so it is.
Nothing to change, alter, or become.
Just you as is.
Feel it. Know it. Believe it. Believe in YOU!

let's write together

In March 2020 I opened the door to an online zoom room where individuals gather each Monday night to write. Prompts are provided, there is time to write, and space to share. I started this weekly gathering because I didn’t know what the road ahead of us looked like but one thing I knew for certain is that I didn’t want to traverse it alone.

The virtual doors opened.
People arrived.
Hearts emerged.
Writing began.
Sharing unfolded.
And magic happened.

Write Together became a place of refuge. Where you could show up exactly as you are. Free of makeup, hair uncombed, in your pjs and you were welcomed with wide-open arms. It was a soft place to land amongst the chaos of the unknown world in front of us. A place where you didn’t need to be anything but yourself.

There was space to spill open. Work through the heartache, the struggle, the pain. A place where you were free to navigate your own way forward. A place where you were seen and heard.

I am grateful, beyond grateful for the incredible individuals who showed up; for one class, each week or dropped in when it was good for them. Every single person that arrived shared their heart simply by being there.

Our final Write Together class for the summer will be tonight (7/26). I will be taking August off to spend some time at the seashore, soak in laughter with family, and hold hands with Dustin. A time for rejuvenation before fall arrives.

Please join me, even if it is your first time. You do not need to be a writer as the page can take anything you throw at it. Let’s clear the path in front of us so we can travel joyfully. Let’s do this by writing together.

Write Together
Monday, July 26th @8:30-9:30 PM EST
