"I think midlife is when the Universe gently places her hands upon your shoulders, pulls you close, and whispers in your ear:
"I'm not screwing around. It's time. All of this pretending and performing-these coping mechanisms that you've developed to protect yourself from feeling inadequate and getting hurt-has to go.
Your armor is preventing you from growing into your gifts. I understand that you needed these protections when you were small. I understand that you believed your armor could help you secure all of the things you needed to feel worthy of love and belonging, but you're still searching and you're more lost than ever. Time is growing short. There are unexplored adventures ahead of you. You can't live the rest of your life worried about that other people think. You were born worthy of love and belonging. Courage and daring are coursing through you. You were made to live and love with your whole heart. It's time to show up and be seen."

Happy Wednesday beautiful hearts! I totally love everything about this passage by Brene Brown. The urgency of showing up and the courage to be seen...isn't that perhaps a life long journey? Excavating the closets of our past from worn out belief systems and tattered garments that have kept us hidden from the world.
Being seen is a concept that resonates within my heart and has been a large part of my personal work over the last several years. As we feel into the energy of our lives, perhaps we begin to notice that the very act of living is the invitation. As we grow into the warmth of summer, maybe we begin to peel off the layers of protection that kept us protected. May you bask in the radiance of your life. No matter your age or stage, it is time to show up and be seen:). There is no other energy quite like yours.
May You Sweetly Seek:)
In Gratitude,
Sarah
