“The beauty of life is that it will always spit you out where you are supposed to be”

I am here today with another confession. I have been feeling more pressure than normal lately. I have been operating, at times, from a place, I thought I had left behind. A feeling of lack, not in money but in time. I realized, after this morning’s exploration, and as I write this, that time has felt so incredibly finite, with not nearly enough of it at hand to do what I want to do. This intense sense of lack has sometimes been driving my boat and steering my ship, leaving me on occasion feeling stuck and unsupported.

Then today, thank F%$#ing God, I finally heard, felt, and surrendered, during my daily pause, to the emotion that had been bottled up by; doing more and working harder, layered with procrastination and other blaming. I heard the word TIME, felt the tears brim to the surface, and released that little part of me that never felt like there was enough.

This article is not so much about the inception of this feeling; although some of that will be revealed, it is more about how our lives are always “grace” fully leading us to the healing we desire, crave, and need.

“For me, there is no happiness without freedom, and freedom is not given to us by anyone; we have to cultivate it ourselves.”
