Hey loves đ
So, I woke up early â and part of me was thankful. The other part? Letâs just say she had a few⌠colorful opinions about it.
Hereâs the thing: between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m.? Thatâs my sweet spot.
The worldâs still stretching, the energy hasnât gone sideways yet, and I can just⌠be still.
No big agenda. No âfix yourselfâ mission.
No pressure to crack the code of the universe before coffee.
Just stillness. Just me.
Although I must confess, that whole âcrack the codeâ - second sweet spot â JS!
Itâs the room to breathe hours.
Room to let the dust settle so the deeper knowing in me can sift through the last 24 hours and make sense of it all.
Iâve been in one of those seasons where the dust needs to settle before the knowing can rise.
You know the kindâwhere youâve been moving through so much in such a short stretch of time that your brain canât file it all away yet. You need room to breathe, to make sense of it all.
We all have our ways of processing. Some run. Some write. Some clean out the garage. Me? I sit in the quiet and let the edges soften until the truth shows up. And letâs be clearâthat space to process? Non-negotiable.
Life is too precious to keep muscling through. And these days, it feels like the world is hell-bent on reminding us of thatâwhether we like it or not. Even in this âhot-as-Hadesâ weather, thereâs this constant whisper:
Slow down.
Feel this.
Donât miss what matters.
Lately, Iâve been asking myself:
What map am I following?
Is it the one my soul came in with? Or the one the world handed meâfull of detours, âshoulds,â and dead ends?
The truth? For years, I let other peopleâs maps lead me around. I wore roles that never quite fit. I followed unspoken rules I never agreed to. I even let my fears and doubts become my GPSâguiding me toward safety instead of truth.
TRUE STORY:
The other day, I got a real-time reminder of this.
Driving home from a business trip, GPS humming along, all was well⌠until it suddenly told me to exit.
Next thing I know, Iâm deep in the backwoods of Virginia. Broad daylight, no danger â but I didnât know the road. My nervous system? Lit up like a Christmas tree. (Continued in comments) âđ˝đâŚ.
