A poem for when you’re feeling lost… ✨
What if wandering
Was always the plan?
What if being lost in the forest
Is what she needed,
To know herself amongst the trees
To feel the sacredness of earth beneath her feet
To hear the whisper of nature in her soul,
What if by finding herself lost
She can never be lost again?

What if getting lost was the blueprint for finding yourself? 🌿
A poem for when you’re feeling pulled to move with more power and intensity… ✨
What if her life doesn’t begin
With the turning of the clock
But with the burning of her heart
Rising from her belly
Guiding once-careful steps to become
Peaceful yet powerful
Intentional yet intense

Born new again
Revealing the lightness
Which is her home
Her safe harbor
In a sea of lost souls

A poem for when you’re feeling adventurous… ✨
What if she makes it,
What if she cares,
What if she’s frightened,
What if she dares?

Bold steps into the uncharted, where you can let your spirit wander, let your soul explore.
A poem for when you’re feeling echoes of the past and the uncertainty of what’s ahead… ⛈️ ✨
What comes after the time
When the waters become shallow
And floating is no longer an option,
When she has to walk
On her own two feet again,
Even as the stones grind
Between her toes
Leaving her soles to bleed,
Leaving storms behind her
For storms ahead?

In the journey of life, we must eventually trade the resilience of floating for the uncertainty of walking, sometimes despite a harrowing path. Here’s to finding strength in every step.✨ 👣 🚶♀️
A poem for when you’re feeling melancholy… 💧✨
Energy shifting, drifting down
Melancholy all around
The turn of focus in her ear
Rising up, she feels the fear
Rising up, seeping in
But love will win
Her love will win

In the ebb and flow of difficult emotions, find strength in knowing that love has the power to prevail. ✨ ✨
A poem for when you’re feeling the stir of something new… ☕✨
Something new is brewing
Like dark, hot coffee
Or the sun rising on the morning
To enliven and enlighten
All that it touches
Sparking each of us to rise and thrive
To seize the day
In our own way
Something new is brewing
Do you feel it too?

A poetic reminder that something new is brewing within. Embrace the beauty of the unknown and the excitement of untold possibilities.
A poem for when you’re feeling a new life rising from within…✨
What if she’s really that good
That powerful
That smart
So much so that in her heart
She knows
And though she struggles to show it
She feels it growing within
Rising within
Ready for her to start
Her new life rising

What new life is taking shape within you? 🌱
A poem for when you’re feeling the pull into the messy middle…✨
The space in-between
Beckons and calls
Luring her into the messy middle
Where despite her desperate howls
The deep, cool waters overcome her
And finally, finally her life starts anew

What might happen if we embrace the chaos of the in-between? 🌪️
