Rise, Shine & Thrive ~ Week 2
I was ready to blog until I went to the blog section of my website and saw last week’s title. It hit me unexpectedly and threw me for a loop I’m still looping in as I type…
To rise, shine, and thrive…now…in this moment? This moment right here…
I can rise…
The unfolding of today has been difficult to be in…
My oldest showed up in a way today that has left me perplexed, angry, hurt, sad, frustrated, and more that I am not yet ready to feel into. When it all stopped and the moment ended…I was left numb. I knew that there were feels inside me and I still do as it’s not even been 30 minutes since he walked back in my front door. He left with the police to wait with them until my Stepmom to arrived…
I started typing a play by play of what went down that led to the police coming to my home and what happened when my Stepmom dropped him off but then realized for what?
What I learned from today is that my work is rooted in changing the systems. Bringing the heartbeat back to systems…more specifically bringing heartbeat driven service to systems. There is a problem, there is a gap, there is an injustice, there is an opportunity…and I’m here for it.
I don’t know what it all looks like and that’s okay. I’m beginning to see how the pieces I already had are connected and how the new pieces that are coming into my life are connected to this opportunity.
Going to leave it here for now but am grateful to end this blog in a space of gratitude for what today gave me and for knowing there is more left to process and feel and that although I feel gratitude in the here and now it is okay to feel the full spectrum of feels once this moment passes.
Before I go I’d be remised if I didn’t shout*out my “Friend”. She is everything and today she showed up for me in a way that I will cherish for the remainder of my lifetime. I am blessed to have a whole Queendom filled with women who have showed up for me in ways that are priceless and truly unforgettable…each and every single one of them! The Queendom is not an accident or a coincidence…it is a manifestation of a deep desire to cultivate a soul-tribe. These women show up and show out in ways beyond my wildest dreams and I am sOoO grateful. My “Friend” is a gift and I am honored to share space with her!
Until next week…
Enjoy the gift of today!
