I guess there’s never a right time, even though we sometimes feel more “ready”. Reading your piece reminded me how vulnerable we are when we decide to listen to the quiet voices within and not the loud ones. Our brain is wired for safety. It feels like getting naked, every time.
If internal validation non-existant, difficult road ahead so all for internalization of imperfection (:
Loved this & needed this thankyou!🙏✨️
I’m happy to hear that, thanks for reading!
"The power to start anyway..." is, well, powerful. And you embodied it beautifully here Jon, thank you.
Appreciate that, Stephanie 🙏🏾

Spot on with all this Nelian 👏🏾
A favorite poem:
Enough
Enough. These few words are enough.
If not these words, this breath.
If not this breath, this sitting here.
This opening to the life
we have refused
again and again
Until now.
