Every individual adds a unique flair to this world we share. Your thoughts, words, and expressions deserve to be celebrated. It’s time to intentionally set a practice of documenting and acknowledging your authentic self. This episode talks about the power of your pen.

This past week, I’m continuing to purge and generally clean up loose ends. In the middle of this, I discovered an old journal entry tucked in the pages of an old book I swiped through. It’s from around a decade ago during my divorce. As I read it, I recalled the relationship, the co-dependency, and the change I needed at that time. The words in that journal entry were a reflection of shifting my focus back to myself instead of prioritizing others. The power of the pen kept that beautiful transition ingrained in that journal entry.

I’m here to spend quality solo time with you for EP98’s Wise Walk as we discover our True Stride. The power of the pen reminds me of the efforts and contributions I made to evolve into the me I am today. Actually, another way the power of the pen shows up in my life is my dream journal. I started writing my dreams down as a gift to myself. In this way, I acknowledge and nurture my unique dreams and reflections of my inner world.

On our Wise Walk, I talk about honoring how you show up in the world with the power of the pen. Like a gratitude journal or scripting for manifestation, you can give your desires the recognition they need to thrive. Come with me as we reflect on these Wise Walk questions:

• Where in your life do you want to shift something and have you taken time to write it down for yourself?
• If you have written it down, is it easily accessible for you? (ex. printed out or on a vision board)
• What are other ways in your life that you use the power of your pen?
• Where in your life are you exercising the power of your pen?
• Is there something in your life that you want to acknowledge or honor what’s unique about you?
• Will you take time for yourself and create the power of the pen so that you can see your uniqueness visually?

Allow yourself to express your thoughts through visuals or words. You can plan a vision board, or write a memo to yourself, or doodle affirmations.

In tune with this, connecting to the power of the pen can open a space for support. Your words may offer support to someone else or they can communicate what support you’d like from others. Gift the power of your pen with these Wise Walk questions:

• Can you gift the power of your pen?
• Where in your life do you have the ability to document what’s important to you?
• Are you making a commitment to document what you need support on? 
• What are the different ways that you can document what you want to manifest or recognize to elevate your reality?
• Where in your life can you exercise the power of your thoughts and expression?
