Be Where You Are

I started to look for old writing that I could pull from for today. Waking up with a headache and a heaviness in my being, I wasn't sure I could write a blog post today.

But as the minutes past and my search came up empty, I realized that I could write about this. This moment in time where it hurts to smile because all I want to do is cry. When my hormones are surging in the days before my period so much so that everything inside and out is tender.

These are the days when I congratulate myself for taking a shower. For switching the music to something more soothing, a subtle lift in vibration rather than trying to fake the dance party. These are the moments when wisdom waits for time, when slowing is demanded, even though I have a full day of serving others in their various states of being and expansion.

We do this because it's love. It's love to breathe in deep, to acknowledge the sadness we can not name. It's love to show up as we are, here with words, out there with compassion.  It's love to speak the truth of a feeling, because as always, this too shall pass.

So today, be brave enough to be where you are, to take in the present moment of discomfort so that it can move through you and not get stuck. 

My coffee will help, too. And so I will greet the next moment of the day, and the next with a little more kindness and allowing. Less pushing and more neutrality. 

I love you, thanks for being here.
