the first step in
setting yourself free…
i am willing to grow.

In October…
let it be a growing season,
of change… of turning… of shedding,
of letting things fall away and fall apart,
and come undone and be uncovered…
let a new version of you
be discovered

this is a growing season,
of change, of turning, of shedding,
of letting things fall away,
and fall apart, and come undone,
and be uncovered
and then a space of surrender,
and being, just being.
and the reflections here are temporary,
so take them in and honor them,
and be honest with them, and own them…
but then forgive them,
and don’t stay in them
let it all go… let yourself bloom

what your heart can’t settle… just give it to the universe…
give it to the universe…
let it all go… let yourself bloom…
self-sovereignty…
don’t look for your
peace in getting back at them,
or trying to make them see your worth
and what they lost in you…
go more into yourself.
become a more beautiful, whole,
confident version of you…
one that doesn’t need anything
from them to feel free.

the exhale…
i stood there
in front of you
and i thought of everything
that had ever broken me,
i thought of everything
that had ever shattered my heart,
and in that moment when i looked at you
i thought of how maybe
i’ll tell you someday.
but for now, i just exhaled.
and i spoke nothing of any of it…
because all
of it made sense now,
and none of it
mattered anymore.

Read More →the beautiful universe of you: the remix…
the universe
burst stars open
and let the pieces fall
and they settled into a shape
and it was given your name
and your heart was placed inside
with all your magic buried in it
with moondust on the edges
and all your flowers planted with it
and this is you…
this is all inside of you.
so how could anyone ever look at you
and not be breathtakingly fascinated
by the wonder of it all…
it’s in the way your perfect atoms
find themselves falling into place as the
beautiful universe that you are.
