Start the journey into being all of you

Do you know what's in your heart?
Really really?
Do you know why you are here? your purpose?
As busy women, we do so much.

Whirling dervishes of competence, order, getting things done, taking care of our beloved kids. Showing up at our jobs, sensible, eager, ready -- present to all of those fragile egos that surround us, those gaping mouths of neediness, someone else's purpose taking precedence over yours.
Yes, I am calling out those who expect our subservience. And we deliver. Sometimes it's more expedient. Send out the competent you, save the inner self, keep it safe for another day.
And so the energy -- our energy -- flows out and our dreams stay dormant.
There are days when we feel depleted, run dry.
Bone tired.
Weary.
Lost.
Disappeared.
And to that I say: Allow, allow, allow.
Allow yourself to feel.
To go inward
To go to that place
Deep inside.
Eyes-closed
Inhale
Exhale
Soften your shoulders
Soften your chest
Inhale
Exhale
Soften into that place where your energy lives.
Your heart.
Safe
Warm
Expectant.
Welcoming
Yes, you're still here
Your dreams are still here, folded up, neatly.
Inhale
Exhale
Stay for a while and play
Open up the boxes of your mind
And play
The sky is expansive
Inhale
Exhale.
Love flows
You are warm
You are safe
You are loved
Drink in the warmth
Fill your cup
With love
And knowing
Deep, deep knowing
That this is where --
And how -- you can begin
To start
The journey into being
All of you
