There is this feeling that stirs in me from time to time.

It tells me it's time to step out of my comfort zone push myself a little further.

So with courage and vulnerability I step out into the unknown, feeling expansive and full of possibility.

Then the fear hits.

That untethered feeling.

The lies of the ego so loud in my ears.

Slowly I feel myself reaching for something familiar, something soft and comforting.

So often the thing that I find is an old negative stories about why I am the way I am or how I will never be able to create my life how I want it.

Only those old stories don't really feel right either (thank goodness).

Like an old warn in sweater that got shrunk in the wash.

I think no, I don't want to go back.

In these moments I think about the devil's snare plant in Harry Potter.

The more you fight against it the more entangled you become.

Surrender is the only escape.

Meditation by best tool.

I know in my bones that the only way forward is to get comfortable with the discomfort of this new chapter or iteration of me.

Baby steps and trust that life is for me.

Guided by my desires that burn in my heart and my passion for soul connection.

I continue to step in faith towards the life I am continually sculpting, learning to love every step along the way.

To live in love with NOW.

Now, this very moment, is only that is alive and teeming with possibility.
