This Is What Freedom Feels Like

Sitting here early afternoon and the day’s work is finished. Client work has wrapped. I have taken the time to dream a little into the work I want to focus on in this season … more writing. Henry has gone for a few walks, today’s daily housekeeping has wrapped, and I have the second load of laundry for the day in the dryer, with the first one put away. Life really is good.

I feel so free in this season of life, trusting God and surrendering to His will, letting Him lead and me follow. It has been the most freeing I have felt in the last 30 years, seriously. Some of that comes from uncovering and rewriting foundational scripts that have been keeping me weighted down and holding myself back, causing me to lose my true zest for life. But in this freedom, I am ready to dream again, try things again, do things differently, and maybe even build the business I dreamed of as a little kid. The one I dreamed of before the world said I could not, the one that has always been inside me, that has been sitting leaned back against the door, wondering if I was ever going to open it and give myself the opportunities.

I can also link this freedom to a program I took with Rachel called Foundational Scripts. It really created space for me to name the stories I believed about myself and then rewrite them into something far more kind and true. For now, I am choosing to sit with this freedom, listen closely, and say yes to the dreams that have been waiting inside me for a long time.
