In case you feel like you’re the only one struggling, messy, lonely or sad right now – I need you to know that you are not alone. I’ve been there too, I am there too, and I will be there too again.
Walking though the valley of despair, the desert of isolation, and the raging ocean of vulnerability is not for the faint of heart, but I’ve come to know it’s all part of the human experience. And because I am just willing to keep putting one step in front of the other I have noticed that I am coming out of it greater, more lighthearted, more free spirited and grateful. The struggle and the hardships have given me the tools and know-how to build an unbreakable tether that keeps me connected to my peace, my joy, my purpose and my light.
If there is anything I can say, its this: If all you have in you is the next step, then that is all you need!
Even if it is just getting up out of bed, getting into bed and resting, taking a shower, finding community, finding yourself in the quiet moments, putting on those clothes that make you feel nice, stripping yourself naked in front of a mirror + affirming your worth, getting fresh air and moving your body, calling a trusted confidant and leaning into vulnerability + connection…
I wouldn’t have gotten here if I wasn’t willing to just put one foot in front of the other.
So for right now, all I’m going to do is take the next step right in front of me – trusting, believing, and knowing that if I happen to ever look back I’ll surprise myself at how far I’ve made it.
Are you coming with me?
To our growth,
Jean.
