Every Monday in 2025 there will be a new journal prompt in the Year of Hope classroom in the Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership.
Get this week's journal prompt here.
I'd love to hear your thoughts! Leave them in the comments at the bottom of that page so we can discuss this as a group. Practicing hope in community is MAGIC.
I know I shared a photo of this page a little while back but I'm back in this place.
A lot of the reasons why I have felt SO distracted lately is that I actually feel SO vulnerable and don't want to feel it.
And in trying to avoid this intense feeling of vulnerability - I end up needing to avoid a lot.
I have to avoid hope itself. I have to avoid my dreams.
Sometimes it IS all too much and we need a distraction. And then sometimes it's hard to find our way back out of distraction.
Right now: I'm starting to appreciate the sensation of vulnerability in my body.
There is a certain amount of vulnerability it takes to put yourself out there the way I do with my work. I've been doing this full time for almost 15 years so I have had some time to work though that and find ways to be with the vulnerability.
But as the world changes so quickly, it feels vulnerable in new ways.
And then at the same time my dreams are telling me that this work is more relevant and important and needed than ever... and I feel called to be a little MORE visible with my work and that adds in new layers of vulnerability.
So it's a lot to work through. You might think 15 year of experience would make it easier but that's not the case right now, lol!!
