Establishing a sisterhood and creating a space for women in my community is an idea that has deeply resonated with me.
There are moments in life where it feels like the universe just dropped an idea into your soul and it feels so aligned. The only problem is often yourself: your fears, your limiting beliefs, your lack of trust, and your ego - being afraid to be seen trying. Because often, these divine ideas require you to step outside of your comfort zone. They require you to get comfortable being seen, being perceived, and even potentially getting rejected. That's a scary thing to do, especially when you, like me, have built yourself a fortress in the shadows and conformed to the likeness of everybody else so that no one's eyes land on you. The most natural thing to do in moments like these is to stay in the shadows, to keep conforming. It feels unnatural and scary to step outside the shadows, to let your light be seen and your voice be heard, to build something that's so much bigger than you. I guess that's why so many of us leave this earth with our untapped potential, taking these divine ideas placed inside of us with us. I believe that's the biggest disservice you could ever do to mankind.
I believe each and every one of us was placed on this earth for something that's so much bigger than us. The intricacy of our personhood, our DNA, leads me to believe that none of us was actually made to conform, and that your mere existence - all of who you are - is a gift to this world.
I want to encourage you: if you're on a journey of self-discovery, self-acceptance, and self-expression, or if you're stepping into something new in your life that feels bigger - a new opportunity, new job, new season, new ideas - one, welcome to the club, you're in good company; two, it's going to feel bigger and you're going to feel small, but take heart and take courage, because your presence and your life are a gift to this world. Everything the Creator has placed inside of you when He formed you is a gift to this world. It is my prayer for you that it all come to fruition and fulfillment, because you deserve to be seen and you deserve to be heard, and it is a blessing and an honor for the rest of us to experience you and the fullness of who you are. So, please, don't let fear hold you back, don't let the shadows keep you hidden, and don't be conformed to the patterns of this world. Do it scared if you must.
Much love and appreciation,
