"hello"

"hello."

Do you know how hard it is to put yourself out there

just to say that simple phrase? 

perhaps you are

moving to a new neighborhood

showing up for the first time at a gathering full of strangers

greeting someone you have seen a million times but never talked to before

or maybe

you needed to remove yourself for a time

in order to find out what you had to offer

to heal from a great loss

to remove the judgement of others

to discover who you are or what you believe in

and now you feel it is time

to open up again

you see

you are not alone

I'm right there with you

because today

"what if?" 

scares me a little less

and "imagine."

 is my daily guide

Imagine that your next "hello" 

opens the door to 

authentically belonging

right where you are

now.

"It's time ~ you know it's true- to see and to be seen.

Shed your mask and glory in the light you bring.

Know in the core of yourself the masterpiece you are

and thank the Universe by showing up. 

It's time ~ you know it's true."
