do it now

you are the glowing Angel of New Beginnings

if Creation had
waited for the
"perfect moment"

to explosively
kiss everything
into existence

this great adventure
we are all on would
have never started

was the Big Bang
God's first smooch?

was the Divine nervous
in the slightest
when it initially touched lips
with infinite possibility?

my love,

when I softly lay
my hand on
your cheek

I can feel it

   ~ the building
tension under your skin

I can feel it

~ the coming explosion
of your sacred purpose

that it created
a ripple that
is still turning nothingness
into miracle?

my love,

there is so much
swirling energy
inside of you

holding its breath
for you to
quit waiting

on the  "perfect moment"
for you to release it

now
now is
now is the
now is the perfect
now is the perfect time

~ to set your life to blaze

my love,

I know how afraid
you are about what
will happen when you
finally unleash your power

you're worried that if you
allow all of that energy building up
inside of you to be unleashed

that you won't ever
ever be able to control
where the ripples that create
will go

you are scared that if
you allow yourself
to ignite like Genesis

it will change and
terraform our world

~ but that’s exactly what
we are all hoping for

oh my love,

don't be afraid of your power

you are the glowing
Angel of New Beginnings

and I can't hardly wait
to watch how you transform
everything under the sacred
fire of your reclaimed purpose

Over the past year I have had the incredible fortune of presenting my “Unafraid Storyteller” writing retreat across America. Throughout my travels I have encountered the same struggle from fellow writers/storytellers that I often struggle with:

Finding the perfect time and situation to finally start connecting with our hearts.

Whether it’s been at the iconic campuses of the Art of Living Center or the Omega Institute or even in a small groups in a backyard - the idea of finding the “perfect moment” in our lives to embrace our stories.

We put off digging into our hearts because we buy into the convenient excuse we give ourselves that that “we will have more time later” to do so.

But here is the thing:
