Finally Loving Life

I’ve been gone for a little while, and in a bit of transparency, I’m going through my own moment of “Should I continue?” We’ve all had that one thing that is your creative baby, and no one can tell you that your baby isn’t special. But there are moments when you operate in a state of silence, with no movement and no confirmation that what you’re doing is truly worth the effort it takes to keep pouring into the earth.

I have pretty much settled, for my own good, how I started this creative journey: that I would continue, but it would look different than before. I would do it as I’m led so it’s not disheartening when I see that no matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to reach my community, my tribe, the people who need this as much as I do, and that it actually helps them. I’m speaking into the void, and nothing is echoing back. So, I continue, but in a way that pours into me as I pour out. How I show up and how often may look different, and that’s where I struggle.

As I sat in the grief of Father’s Day, knowing I didn’t have my person any longer to bounce my thoughts and ideas off of, The Wheel of Fortune came as the card pulled for the week. The Wheel of Fortune reminds you and me that life rotates in cycles. Where there is summer, there will also be winter. Where there is drought, there will also be abundance. Life has its ups and downs, its ins and outs, and no matter what, the cycle of life continues.

Everything has divine timing, and it all works for the purpose of the moment. Winter is stripped down to what is absolutely needed—to reserve strength, to rest, to go inward, to prepare to bring forth spring. When something is up, it can also come down; and when something is down, it will make its way back up. It is divine timing in the circle of life. It reminds us that you can’t control what is outside of yourself, but you can control how you respond to it.

It is a call to release and let go. To flow and trust the divine timing of everything. To know that if you are down, in divine timing, you will be on your way back up again. Trust the process, but also don’t allow your emotions, thoughts, or dreams to be tugged back and forth with the cycles. Find the balance and flow.

Until next time, love you lots!
