From memories to lessons

Almost a decade ago (in the craze of The Secret), a particular concept just stuck with me – if you want something, make sure you make space to receive it. Though these days I want less tangible things, I still enjoy finding pockets of space.

I am in the middle of a life audit – I observe and non-judgmentally question where and to what my attention and energy go to. While brainstorming how to go about obeying spirit and writing every day, I remembered to honor and start with the space I currently have. I opened this blog a whole year ago and it took me months to start posting because I was overthinking and therefore overwhelming myself with details that are irrelevant to what I enjoy doing – actually writing.

I have no idea where the next 365 days are going to take me, but I am here for it. Some days I am sure I’ll have a lot to share, and other days I’ll just share my existence. Today, I am honoring the space in between the space.

I am feeling tired after a long day, and I am now here writing about space and nothingness and existing. I showed up, and now I am going to take a warm shower and go to bed. I hope I have another opportunity tomorrow to just be.

Signing off for tonight,

Seshat
