MANTRA: ” You can do anything you set your mind to!”
I have been writing for 7+ hours straight.
I finished the first draft of my next book.
The tears have spilled for hours.
I have let so many stored emotions off of myself.
I feel so light and free right now in this moment.
It’s day 6 of 75 hard and already so much is opening for me.
I was really ready for the challenge. My creativity had been begging me for this.
I have fully stepped into my future self.
I am a writer.
I care about my body.
I drink my water.
I nourish myself any way that I can.
My relationships and conversations are vast and meaningful.
I enjoy my life.
I drink in knowledge and accept new challenges. I love well and receive love back. I am kind to myself and others. I am open to what comes and I trust fully in the timing of my life.
I love myself deeply and have learned to listen to myself and prioritize the things that keep me in alignment with my goals and desires.
Looking back it feels like it took me forever to get here, but writing this book reminded me of writing all of my books. It reminds me why it was so hard to get here. It reminds me just how much I have overcome.
It’s not the amount of time it took that should have my attention.
The fact that I made it here at all is where my focus is.
It’s a miracle that I made it.
This way of thinking is why I no longer bully myself.
I keep my focus on all of the things that I have accomplished and thrived through. On all the beauty that I brought with me from the pain.
I celebrate my ability to be vulnerable in order to share my stories and the knowledge that I have gained.
I have always said that if I can help one person keep their light going, it’s all worth it.
The amount of people that have reached out and shared with me, that I have done just that, is what consistently reminds me that I am on the right path.
That it’s all for something.
The feeling I got from hearing all of the stories that have sparked from me sharing mine, all the healing- the chances that y’all have been taking- that is sealed into my soul forever.
It didn’t matter if I heard another word.
I know it matters.
I already have the proof that I desired within.
That is a level of peace I didn’t know existed.
I am the only one that has to love it. I can trust that if it is good in my soul- it will go where it is meant to.
It allowed me to give up control. I get to just have fun with it now.
I have been working on this book for years but I always knew that something was missing.
It was this moment.
The other night Marco and I went out to the desert to soak in the sunset and play on the hills.
It all hit me at once.
I took a few days to process what I learned and then I knew I would be sitting down and devoting a lot of my hours towards being a vessel to this next book.
I was right.
I feel lighter.
The story flew through my fingers.
I didn’t need to think. I just had to let it out.
It feels so good knowing that I just did that today.
I needed this challenge to dive deeper and test myself more to see what I am truly capable of and to remember all that I am here to do.
It’s in the hard things that I have found the most beauty.
This blog, the books, the podcast- everything I do is to open up my world so that people can see something different.
I have always wanted to find ways to help people feel less alone and this part of my life has been all about creating safe spaces for honest connection, healing and to learn in.
I have always dreamed of helping people connect to their home within themselves.
And I have spent a lifetime craving to find mine.
Writing the first draft today helped me realize that I am in it.
Here in this world of authenticity and raw transparency, I have found even more of my home.
Who knew that sticking to the things that make me the person I want to be and visualize, would connect me to the life that I have been begging for?
It all seems so simple now that I am in it.
I will always remember that it sure didn’t feel this way when I wasn’t.
I am so grateful for the entire journey.
I am so grateful to feel home.
