A Season of Yes

From Fear to Flourishing

Sometimes we fear showing up because we believe failure will greet us there.
But what if we don’t fail, what if we flourish?

I used to be so afraid of failure.
The fear was so great that I’d avoid things at all costs to keep me from facing failure.

Fear held me from soaring freely and kept me in a place of where I believed safety was found in hiding.

However, as I navigate some stretching seasons, I realize that past failures have paved the way for spiritual growth. While many tears have been shed, my inner garden is in bloom, and I’ve recognize that what could’ve broke me before, is healing the inner most parts of me that I never even paid attention to.

It’s interesting what seasons of shedding and stillness can do.
Even here as I find myself navigating through unknown paths and muddy waters,
the wildflowers are blooming within and remind me of the resilience that has always been in me.

These moments of solitude have led me to a season of affirmation, where I choose to embrace discomfort and say yes without the fear of failure. As the petals of growth unfurl, I find myself saying yes to five things in this season of my life.

5 Things I am Saying Yes to

I Am Saying Yes To Seeking Community.

As an introvert, social events trigger so much anxiety but, with the guidance of my therapist, I'm creating a support circle. Finding safety in my circle gives me the courage to seek out spaces that feel less of a task and are more easeful. Lately I’ve been going to events like art workshops and coffee co-working sessions. These welcoming environments help me connect with people that share similar interests and make room for finding friends in my thirties. (stay tuned for an essay on this)
