Your only task is to be YOU!

"Sometimes I pretend to be normal. But then it gets boring. So I go back to being me."

Time for a pep talk.

This is for me. This is for you.

Hello, you.

I see you struggling. Let me pep you up a bit. My best advice -

Just breathe. Just be here, in your life.

I know I repeat this advice a lot. But that is simply because it is so very important.

Trust that your life is unfolding, always. It is never stagnant. You will continue to attract like-minded souls, and the experiences you need. It is law. It is life. Enjoy the quiet, and all this delicious time to yourself. You may think you want a partner, but I guarantee, when you have him, there will be times you long for solitude. This is the nature of life and wanting - and the grass is greener syndrome.

Life is giving you this time, just as it is. So be here. Revel in it.

It is preparing you for whatever comes next. Don't compare yourself to others, darling-heart. They are them. You are you. You don't want to be them. You want to be you. In fact, the world wants you to be you. Comparison truly is the thief of joy.

Your only task is to be completely, authentically YOU!

And remember, you like lots of time to yourself. Your sensitive, creative soul needs it. In order to be your bravest, shiniest, most grounded self. To live and be love. You are a modern day mystic. Live it, own it, love it, be it.

Be thankful that you have the liberty to live your life the way you want to. So many don't have that option. What you need will always come to you, without fail. You are so loved and taken care of, more than you know, always. Your life has proven this to you over and over again.

You are exactly where you are meant to be at this point in time. Just relax, breathe, and be here.

Yes, your man is on his way to you right now. Your meaningful, creative work in the world and the income that will enable you to do it. And yes, your tribe and friends and pals are on their way too. All that you desire is flowing to you right now.

Your only job is to wait. Stand ready, with your arms WIDE OPEN. Dwelling in possibility.

The Raw Beauty of Life

"You are like a leaf blowing around in the eye of a hurricane. Life has really landed on you. It's amazing to see how you carry it." -Ryan Hartley Life is like a dark night, and a star-lit soul peering into a jar of fireflies. We are free and bound at the same time. It is the collected moments that you are present to, which create a beautiful life. Observing the steam rise in curls from a mug of green tea, the pattern of sunlight streaming through a leaf, the warmth of someones lips on yours, the crinkle at the corner of the eyelids in a child's smile, the moment you jump into a cold lake. This is life. And yes - the moments where you are curled up in a ball on the floor, your body heaving with sobs. The moments where you are called out. The dark parts of yourself that you encounter, and choose to integrate. The times you see someone doing something you wish you were doing and feel jealous. Life is not a tea party that we dress up f...

The face of tomorrow

The face of tomorrow is shining and laughing. It is washed fresh. It has all the laugh lines, the love cracks. It has the deep purple moons under the eyes, from all the sleepless nights, the crying eyes. But somehow the moons make it even more beautiful. They are beams of life, shooting out, mellowing, illuminating. Everything is illuminated in this face of tomorrow. Everything is forgiven. It is fresh now. In it, I believe all things are possible. All things are new. I am old enough to learn that it has always been this way. Now is tomorrow. Yesterday is now. It is all the same. But my soul has had time to grow. I can now appreciate tomorrow as today. Tomorrow looks like living my life exactly the way I want to. Not how other people say I should. My face has been washed in tears, and bathed in smile-light. And now it recognizes that both (tears and smiles) are equally valuable. The face of tomorrow (now) is awash with pleasure. It is flushed with desire. It is li...

When loneliness comes stalking

“When loneliness comes stalking, go into the fields, consider the orderliness of the world.” -Mary Oliver When loneliness comes stalking, I wait. I welcome it. I look in its face. I leave room in my heart. It comes stalking like a striped tiger through the tall grass. That is not so bad. If you are okay with being pounced on, and becoming part of the earth again. Burning bright at night, it stalks me. Dimly, during the day, it stalks me. It comes from within, and without. It is part of the whole. When it comes, it comes as a reminder. A reminder that I am not alone. It proves the paradox. It ushers in all the people who have gone before; all the other ones who have been stalked by loneliness. We are all here together. Even alone, we are together. When it comes stalking, I am ready. I am well stocked with books, and maps, a compass, and a telescope to look at the stars. And then I remember that I am stardust, too. When loneliness comes stalking...
