Shoulds & Should Nots


 For the last two and a half years
 I have been on a very clear path,
with a focused and specific set of goals,
And now, here I am 
having accomplished almost every single one of them
(and more)
feeling a little lost
with the direction to take next.

I know in my heart the way I don't want to go
but still I doubt the one that is calling me forward
 into a more vulnerable yet courageous place.

So this is where I have been lately,
clearing the debris
of shoulds and should nots
listening for the truth masked by the doubts
and making space for all that is to come
even though I cannot name it just yet.

What truth have you been hearing lately?

love. peace. kindness.

  1. i love you chickadee, yes i do.
    i can always hop over here and see
    that maybe what i am holding on to -
    well that i am not the only one.

    it is those days that i allow my negative
    self into my head. i hate that part of it, but
    what i know (truth) is that no matter
    what, i am working towards that
    place that i want to get to and that
    it is where i am supposed to be.

    when i maintain that focus, and honor
    my decisions. than i stay the course
    with a much bigger smile.

    (( love )) k

  2. I can so relate to this post Danielle. I've been going through a similar time in my journey, trying to connect with my true path and find my way.

    The truth I'm hearing lately is that I need to take some time to focus on me, to play, to explore, to focus on my health, and to put all the business of art aside for a while. I've been grappling with this for quite some time and only in the last few days am I coming to really sit with these decisions. Thanks for giving me the space to write it down and make sense of it.

    Miss you my friend. Maybe we can revisit that idea of a skype date soon.

  3. I took a blog break which I needed. I have been really, really trying to focus on my heart and I know deep in it I must get my health in order. I suffer from chronic migraines and neck pain...mostly due to stress. I am working on moving more and eating better. I am also enjoying my family. I am creating for me. I am learning and growing and I think GREAT things await:)

    So happy for you Danielle. I will be here cheering you on with whatever you choose!!
