Day 100: The Center of Gravity

100 days.

One hundred straight days of writing… of being present, of staying consistent, even if imperfectly. It has been messy on the outside, trying to get things organized, getting my house in order with all the remodeling, preparing for what is coming next, and sorting through whatever life keeps throwing at me. Grounding myself over the last couple of weeks has probably been the hardest part of it all.

This morning, I woke up feeling refreshed. Morning meditation. Tea. A sense that some things are finally moving in the right direction. The things in front of me feel good. The connections feel good. The emotions are still high, but in a way that feels exciting rather than chaotic. Even so, it still reminds me to stay grounded. That is part of the test. All of it is. Navigating this path. Keeping the Lighthouse bright. Tending to the personal garden that is me. It is all part of the process… but we all beat to our own drums. Does your rhythm match mine enough to want to keep playing together? That is the part you never really know. Maybe that is part of living, too? Not knowing and being okay with that…

Quiet Part Day 100: One hundred days of writing have shown me that the miracle is not only in what opens, but in what brings me back to center. Sometimes that looks like writing. Sometimes it is dancing through the heaviness in my chest until I can hear myself clearly again. Maybe that is the balance I have been looking for… between what moves me and what has actually earned its place with me.
