I use to and still often struggle with second guessing myself. Trying to be “perfect” by saying and doing the “right” things. I know it stems a lot from childhood. I love the gentle nudges from the heart and following up on them. Little rewards (and big mixed in) along the way to remind me I’m on the right path. And even still the reality of life is… it still sucks a lot too. So what are my values? Honing in on those. Like rest, creating art, serving community and community action, loving my family, etc. Navigating the messiness of life with grave and bravery. Always love your words and pondering them. Xo
These values of yours — rest, creating art, serving community and community action, loving my family — I see them actively played out in your life. I love that as I read your list I could see where you value that in what you do. It’s beautiful and inspiring.
Two years back a friend of mine invited me to an event as one of the guest speakers,I was so nervous but I knew that I had a beat to overcome and this was the time.I had to trust myself confidently,and I did it.Speaking at this event built things in me that I didn't know existed and that's how I promised myself to always be brave
My heart lifted with this story! This line brought happy tears to my eyes: “Speaking at this event built things in me that I didn't know existed.” Yes! That’s what simply isn’t our voice can do. It’s magical.
