change.


"If you can put fear aside, you're unstoppable." -
Janet Hagberg

This is the last day over at Soul Coaching. It has been an interesting month. At the beginning of the month I questioned my own ability to follow through; to show up and to trust myself with this journey, and I am proud to say that I did it. I did show up here at my desk every day. This is huge for me! I am sad about some things. I did not have time to visit everyone on the journey very much, and some days I did the bare minimum required, but I journeyed just the same! (Thank you so much to Jamie for hosting!!)

Today is about celebrating yourself and the changes you have made. I am actually surprised by the profound change that seems to have happened in me. It feels quite fresh and tender and new so I am not going to show it too much light yet, but just know that things are going to change around here! I'm feeling a shift, and that shift is moving me forward in lots of ways.

I have been sitting here for almost an hour writing and rewriting this post. I want to be eloquent and profound, but the only words that keep going through my head are, "I'm done." I keep hearing them no matter what else I try to say. I guess that is the most profound shift. I'm done. I can't explain it more than that. It's not the blog that is done, it's not me that is done, but on so many other things, I am done. It's finished. Stick a fork in me! For a long time I have been about the 'me' part of this blog - about all of my questions - and this month I have had answers. I feel like a chick ready to hatch. I am done being small and worried and unsure. There is no more time for all of that. I'm ready to embrace the 'more' part. Starting right now.

Megg hi, I have been folloeing your journey through your blog for quite a while now, and you always came across as smart, sensitive, aware, raising questions and doubts we all have - and for that I thank you. I just wanted to say, that although your writing is always wonderful, this post is your best yet, because through the words your beautiful transformation and strength echo so strongly. Good luck on this new path, I'm sure it will be amazing.

Megg, what a celebration. Funny how words just pop up for us, even when at first they don't make total sense. I can hear the egg cracking! And there you are. Big. Glorious. Done.

Ahh.

I look forward to the future adventures of this chick. ;)

It's just fine to be done. Because on this part of our journey, SC is finished. And it's been wonderful! I think you did very well and am so glad I got to know you even better. So happy you're going to do The Next Chapter!

WONDERFUL!!!

i loved this! especially the part about feeling fresh and tender and new, not wanting to show it too much light yet.

it's just so...simple and beautiful and eloquent. sometimes things just need to gestate a while, and you can't rush it. but you can feel it there, slowly breaking the surface.

and it's exciting! i'm excited for you! =)

thanks for visiting. i can see i'll have a lot of fun here! xxoo

Oh my dearness!!! Those words are the words of FLIGHT!!! :) I'm smiling big for you. You are On. Your. Way! :)

Much like what you said about my post the other day, Megg, I can FEEL the change here! You don't need 100s of profound words, it is coming through clearly and exactly.

And I can so sympathize with the sense of achievement that comes from actually completing something! I have lost count of the times that I started and abandoned projects, be they photography related, or a diet, or anything really that required some discipline and 'showing up'.

Here is to being done. You are a wonderful inspiration.
