I Show Up

Authenticity

In my world that has incessant demands, what do I need?
Does it matter, as long as I am authentic?
That’s most important, right?
I don’t often let others see the doubt, fatigue, and frustration.
I show up
Yes, I show up…

Serenity

I challenge my negative thought patterns and redirect to meaningful connections
I see the needy world and know only some is mine to do
I pause to breathe and invite my higher self to be in charge.
It doesn’t always work quickly
I show up anyway
I show up…

Stability

I am tired of this constant juggling.
So tired—where did my peace go?
My life feels out of balance—what happened to my joy?
Must I keep showing up?
I offer myself an invitation: Come home, rest, and simply be.
Clearer, stronger, balanced boundaries restored
I show up again
I show up…
