sometimes
Last night I snapped this photo, Instagrammed it and wrote: Sometimes this always learning stuff is totally rad. Even when it shakes you up and spits you out. You look around and say, "yep, just where I am supposed to be."
A few seconds later, I added a PS of sorts that said: of course it's understood that sometimes the always learning part is exhausting and feels like shit. but later the "yes, this" comes.
I snapped the photo because for one slice of one moment, I felt like I could touch a deeper understanding of where I am right now. I didn't feel behind or not enough. I wasn't wishing for something else. I was full of a sense of trust that I really can sift through all the stuff, the chatter, the social media, the shoulds, the whys and listen to what I know.
Because I'll forget this and feel overwhelmed and lost and alone and behind and how the list goes on one day soon, maybe later today (maybe in a few seconds) or tomorrow or one day next week, I'll keep documenting through words and photos and phrases hammered into lockets so I will remember to trust that I really am in charge of this story I'm living.
Yes, this.
Yes, this.
PS Just four three spots left for Water Your Soul :: Being Seen. We start Monday and will begin gathering in our private Facebook group this weekend.

Let me tell you one thing: when the chatter comes in your mind, and in your heart, think of all the women you inspire through your work, through your blog. And how important it is somehow to just be who you are, because you are perfect as is.
Thank you Liz for stating it. That's how it is for me.
Always learning ..
everyday self care and mindful aware reflection required.
"...so I will remember to trust that I really am in charge of this story I'm living"....oh how those words resonate in my soul. thank you.
I love this Liz. I love that you snapped that moment of truth.
