I've been a little quiet from sharing for a while lately. I've been in a gestation period, asking A LOT of questions about pretty much everything - the world, myself and what and how, even if, I share with the world.
I've had some conversations with trusted friends about this too, but most of it in recent months has simply been quiet internal reflection.
One of those friends sent me the following quote after a conversation we had recently.
Here it is: "While you are here, you might as well say the truth you are sent here to say. We are all just messengers. And the message is always holy. Open up. Gather your sacred water. Pour."

Almost immediately after I received. this, I watched Gregor Dimitrov give a speech for his win at the Brisbane tennis tournament. He was a bit lost for words and slightly choked up. But the honesty and sincerity of this touched me more than any 'message' he could say.
As I reflected on this, it brought home to me that one of the things I have been tussling with is the establishing of a new balance between the verbal message I share and the energy behind it. In my coaching work sharing from my heart as honestly as I could see were always my guidelines. But I also felt quite sure of some of the verbal form of the content that I shared.
But in my time of questioning, where it’s been harder to know what to think and say sometimes (because so much has come up within me for scrutiny), I'm remembering that perhaps its okay to let the feeling of simply being real and honest, even if I have felt uncertain at times, be enough of a 'message'.
With that in mind, I'd like to share a video blog that I have created. It's an honest share about the sense of 'deletion' I have gone through over the last few years, which has left me feeling more and more in the unknown than ever, but also with a deeper recognition of the power of simply resting in that place. The video will continue for 2 minutes after the narration finished to provide a chance for reflection.
I hope the share, or at very least the feeling of it, resonates for you.
