Can we turn a pause into an opportunity?
Beautiful human beings.
What if we can turn these difficult times into something meaningful? Can we turn pause into an opportunity?
If you are feeling the pressure to be productive and the desire to be still and slow down – you are not alone. These are eerie times. People losing their jobs. People having to work from home. Everything’s shifting. A lot of unknowns. People losing their lives. Feelings of fear, anxiety, uncertainty. Crying, laughing, smiling, afraid, should be doing but I’m not in this free time. We are forced to slow down, to be alone, to observe, to reflect. And this is not easy. But there’s also comfort in knowing we are all in this together.
These times present us with an opportunity to slow down, to go in, to reevaluate, to see the beauty around us, to go deep in our hearts, to be curious, to stay present and help each other out. It’s time to awaken and realign. And it’s times like these that shape our humanity.

“With this open time
You do not have to write the next bestselling novel
You do not have to get in the best shape of your life
You do not have to start a podcast
What you can do instead is observe this pause as an opportunity
The same systems we see crumbling in society
are being called to crumble in each of us individually
The systems that taught us we are machines
That live to produce & are disposable
if we are not doing so
The systems that taught us monetary gains take priority over humanity
The systems that create our insecurities then capitalize off of them
What if we became curious with this free time,
and had to agenda other than to experience being?
What if you created art for the sake of creating?
What if you allowed yourself to rest & cry & laugh & play & get curious about whatever arises in you?
What if true purpose is in this space?
As if Mother Earth is saying: we can no longer carry on this way. The time is now – I am reminding you who you are. Will you remember?”
