I’m sure you’ve heard that expression.
Some breakdowns are massive. Obvious. Ridiculously painful. And usually feel never-ending.
Some, however, are almost unrecognizable. If we are not tuned in, in fact, we may miss it altogether and “just” chalk it up to a bad day.
Some breakdowns feel like you’re standing in the middle of the room looking at your life as it is piled around you — a heap of junk that’s all broken apart and ugly.
Some breakdowns feel like ugh, I am too lazy to give a damn about anything today.
Whichever breakdown it is, it can be comforting to know your breakthrough is soooo close! You can’t push, pull, prod your way there faster. You have to go through the tunnel first.
Did you know that as the butterfly struggles to break free from the cocoon, that if you helped and opened it up just a bit for her, she would die? Her struggle is part of her breakthrough.
The same holds true for you.
Someone can lovingly hold space for your struggle, can reassure you that you are loved and have support, but no one can do it for you.
I’ve been sharing about the Quintessential Woman. Interestingly, last year at this time I was too, and my posts are coming up in my memories on Facebook. (Perhaps it’s a Spring thing — moving into the New)
Today, my memories showed these words:

Also interesting is today is a low day for me. It’s more than I am so damn tired of white/gray skies and brown, dirty Spring. I am longing for bright blue skies and beautiful new, green grass. I am longing for something new to birth itself into my heart and life.
As I read the words I penned a year ago, I asked myself: 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘺 𝘍𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥? 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘣𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘥? And today I am giving myself a Pause so I may discover…
Perhaps you are in this space, too.
Perhaps you’d like to explore what you are to birth next?
I’d like to introduce you to an aspect of yourself that may help you do just that.
