Love Letters to the Universe 07: Endless Courage
It's been forever since I last posted. At the onset of COVID, I decided to take a social media sabbatical to be present with myself and shed some layers and emotions. At first, the break was meant to be a few days, then it became much longer. I checked in with myself daily to see what felt right. As the days went on, I made it my intention to be present. To witness the world around me and not from the news, media, or social platforms point of view. What I can say is that I saw so much. I heard so much and felt so much. I was living my life without influence and diving deep into the energetic vibration of this world. Let me be real: this rollercoaster ride of 2020 has brought me heartbreak, anger, sadness, and depression. I fell into self-created isolation. All the ugliness that none of us really want to admit to. But that's life, and that's what is real. I can't curate myself from you and pretend none of this has affected me. Being a creative and empathic, this has been a powerful lesson in boundary lines, understanding my health is in my own hands and no one else’s, that I can create a healthy mindset or go into darkness. The accountability and discipline fall on me and as my mentor, Shel Pink says, Health is Wealth.
Luckily for me, I had some heart-centered angels help pull me out of the abyss. But this process wasn't all bad as I'm finally shedding the chrysalis, which gave me the ultimate gift—knowing myself on another level and finally understanding my shadow, my joys, love, and curiosity will be a spiralalic unfolding. No more trying to be perfect. On this path, I get to choose my actions, mood, mindset with INTENTION. Gone are the days of being sucked into the noise. I can no longer accept that. The injustice that is playing out is proof of the change that is needed, and as Gandhi said, Be the change that you want to see in the world.
Gandhi’s famous quote: Be the change that you want to see in the world.
From here on out, this site will celebrate the courageous and help to spread joy, creativity, and highlight those fighting the fight but from a place of action vs. fear. I'll still share my photography and creative projects I've collaborated on, but I strongly feel that I must focus on what I care about deeply and do the things that scare me the most in an organic, freeflow matter. For those that reached out during my sabbatical, thank you. Your love and support have meant the world.
If you are experiencing a similar challenge, please reach out. I’m available to chat, share a good laugh, and send light to you. Last but certainly not least, THANK YOU to all the first responders, BLM, the earth warriors of this planet, and Mother Earth for putting up with all of us. I'm excited about this new phase of MY UNICORN LIFE and look forward to future conversations with you all.
