Prompt: “I am in-process …”
“Orphaned voices. They seemed to speak for all the unlived parts of me, and they came with a force and dazzle that I couldn’t contain. I know now that they were the clamor of a new self struggling to be born.” -Sue Monk Kidd
Braveheart, I invite you to pause … to intuitively consider your life story and your current journey. Are the details of your current journey fulfilling the details of your heart desires? (Please resist editing yourself. Acknowledge the facts.)
“Hope deferred makes the heart sick / But when desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.” -Proverbs 13:12
For most of five years I lived in a default focus of the hope-deferred details of my wild and precious life. 💁🏻♀️ Or so I believed.
In reality, I know now I was being honest with myself (facing the facts); processing and healing from a lifetime of minimizing my trauma.
I know now I was in-process.
I was processing [coming to understand and acknowledge] the details of my childhood and familial relationships, along with my lifelong habit of minimizing my needs.
More to the point, I was listening to Spirit and orphaned voices, and the clamor of a new self struggling to be born.*
Today is Day 6 within the tradition of Twelve Days of Christmas, and I offer you oracles of [wildness], [intuition] and [journey] and a download to jot notes that come to you when you intuitively listen to your orphaned voices.
❤️ Recommended: Print this download and begin slowly: set a timer for 5 minutes as you put pen-to-paper to chronicle thoughts as they come.
- If no words come, simply write the date and time as you make marks or doodles on the line, holding space with yourself until the timer concludes.
- 💁🏻♀️ “The different ways artists use marks and expressive qualities” (The Tate)
Be gentle, but repeat this as a practice until words come freely.
- What are you currently processing in your mind, body and soul?
- What are you minimizing?
- What are you moving through?
- What needs—deserves—your time and energy?
- What has waited long enough?
- What do you desire to experience?
There are pivotal moments when we must prioritize time and space for compiling a list of thoughts and ideas, must-do’s and wanna-do’s. Today’s download offers you a starting point, Braveheart. ❤️
- This download may also be used as dedicated space for:
- compiling task lists
- things you want to try
- books you want to read
- podcasts you want to listen to
- topics you want to research
- monthly review points
- lunar phase notes 🌙
*Braveheart, those five years were a walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
