Something different
Is wanting to emerge,
A quiet calling
To no longer be quiet,
To scream from her deepest places,
“I am here!”

When we do our inner work, we may find that things aren’t what they always seemed.
That who we thought we were, how we thought we were being, was actually a protective mechanism.
A mask.
It can feel like an identity shakedown – as well as an opportunity to decide how we want to be going forward.
Old habits and behaviors that got us through are not inherently bad.
Unless they are no longer giving us the results we want.
Maybe then it becomes time to explore the possibility of something different.
Something more expansive and nurturing.
Something unmasked.
What are you exploring today?
