Yes, we all do this! The universe has a much bigger life available to us if we trust and surrender, but then we have to ask ourselves, if we're not in control, who's life are we really living? Tricky. This year, for obvious reasons, I've been more immobile than at any point in my life. I was born in South Africa and I lived in four different countries before I was nine-years-old. As an adult, I've lived in six different states and I continue to travel all over the world regularly. Being this grounded has forced my wanderlust into serious review; I quite literally don't feel like myself anymore because the inner restless urge to be filled with awe and wonder - to see a new place and experience culture shock - is off limits. Inside, there feels like a primal scream building to a breaking point that will need to be acknowledged somehow. Maybe being gentle is acknowledging that there is no way to feel authenticity during this extraordinary year.

Yes. Have definitely struggled with this feeling. This year especially, when so much of my "normal life" was stripped away. But I am now emerging into my own. I have let go of some pieces that are no longer serving me and am preparing to pave a new path. I am finally learning to trust myself as a creative and take the leap towards starting my own business. Being fully yourself is a practice. It takes effort daily. But I am feeling so ready and excited for what's to come.
