Have you ever said you were going to do something that you really wanted to do – that you really needed to do for yourself – something that nurtured your spirit and felt so right – and then life got busy, and your declaration of self care turned into a pipe dream – pushed aside for another day? 

There is something very sacred about honoring our word to ourselves, especially when it involves self care. 

Usually when we dream or say things that seem far fetched, it’s our higher self reminding us that we matter – that our needs are just as important as our loved ones. It’s our inner wisdom letting us know that we can go for our dreams – even if they seem far in the distance at the moment. 

I have been feeling an inner pulling for the last several months – my inner voice has been telling me that I need to take time off from production to focus on writing. My higher self has assured me that this is exactly what I need to do – and I feel it with every part of my soul. 

This seemed like a distant dream when I first started thinking about it several months ago. Taking a month off to write seemed so luxurious and decadent. And it didn’t help that my worrying self kept popping up to tell me all of the reasons why this may not be a good idea – we make our living from the orders we receive, and if we put a halt on production, how will we live? 

And then I remembered why faith is crucial when a dream is so new and fragile. 

I remembered that my higher self would not lead me astray.

I remembered that in order to live my ideal life – the life that I was born to live – I would have to take risks and get out of my own way sometimes. 

And so it is.

And I’m so excited to see where it leads!

Dream it. Act on it. Live it. Enjoy it.
