I agree with you that "imagination" (possibility) can orient me towards a more empowered way of seeing my imagined self living her juicy, colourful life. It takes courage and discipline to build this possibility so I am glad you keep mentioning that the hard part is showing up - showing up for yourself each day. Practice, practice, practice! It's called mastery. Love your writing - resonates a lot with me, especially the part about "having it all" and still feeling empty inside, feeling like something's missing but not knowing what that "something" is.
Hey Candace, thank you for your comment, as you know my writing is a great comfort and joy for me right now ❤️ That’s such a beautiful reflection, thank you for sharing it so honestly. Yes, imagination can really be the spark that opens the door to possibility, but as you say, it’s 'showing up' again and again, even when it feels ordinary or uncertain that transforms that possibility into embodiment. I think that’s where courage quietly lives.
I think so many of us know that feeling of 'having it all' yet sensing that hollow space inside, that quiet ache that whispers there must be more. Often, that 'something missing' isn’t another achievement or experience to collect, but a deeper reconnection with ourselves, our body, our intuition, our truth.
A daily practice, the gentle discipline, is what bridges that gap for me. Each time we show up, not to perfect ourselves, but to be with ourselves we reclaim a little more of that aliveness we’ve been missing. I’m really touched that this resonated with you ❤️ Thank you for reading with such depth, and for doing the brave work of imagining, and reimagining, your own vibrant, colourful life.
Yes to this! I wrote a piece a while back called "My Mind Goes Places Without Me" about how I've always lived half in my imagination, half in the real world. In my imagination is one of my very favorite places to be.
I totally agree with you, my imagination has always taken me to great places. When I was younger and teaching children it was so valuable but I guess over the years I've not paid a lot of attention to it till recently :) I remember I read that piece of yours and resonated with it greatly. Thank you for your comment Leslie :)
