Do you ever feel like you somewhere between your big dreams and those fears of how to make them happen? I’ve definitely felt that way. If you know me, you know I have big dreams and you may know that I am sensitive. Sensitive to the degree of sometimes dis-empowering myself. I know better and I am so much better at this than I used be. I’m also sensitive to my desires of wanting more.
I feel them so much and they breathe thru me.
I feel others people dreams too.
The past few months, I have been deepening into my truth while opening up an inner space for my creative spirit to soar. I’ve been in a flow of joy and also in showers of tears as I allow myself to let go of what is no longer serving me. Yes, I am giving myself permission to let go and it’s scary.
Maybe you know what I mean.
Releasing the old, letting things die that I have tried way to hard to keep alive, stop judging and blaming, stop thinking from my head and creating more space in the deeper wells of my heart. The place where my dreams are held.
I have to remind myself that I am letting go – my mind is resisting and forgetting.
Sometimes it gets a little crazy.
It shows up, teasing me, dancing with me, beckoning me to come back, taunting me to stay there. That makes me want to just runaway. Move. Leave. Close the door.
I need space. I need a moment please.
I share this with you, because I had an AHA – an inspiration that tip-toed in. I cannot run from me nor can I stay there. I am in-between my big dreams and my fears. I am also enough. You are enough. We are enough. We can get through it.
Yes, we are often in-between where we came from and where we are going. That’s kinda cool if you think about it.
Until of course, we get bombarded by ads that tell us that we need to BE someone else or Facebook posts telling us to DO more or shiny pretty objects that tell us we need to BUY more. That’s not so cool.
Please, back off, JUST LET US BE…
We are ENOUGH right now. When we’re in our space here and now – the in-between is not so in-between. I mean, the only question really is…
Where do I want to go from here? What do I truly want to create and experience next? How can I allow my dreams to come alive and be real?
Not asking from an ego, fear-based, scarcity place, but from your sacred place. My sacred place. From our open, magical, loving, excited, creative, spirit place. What kind of life do you want to live? Yes, this is where we get to let our creativity soar!
The real AHA? Celebrating the in-between. We are ENOUGH to get through it. Let’s do this!
Peace baby……

I think Jackie said exactly what I was thinking about the balance between needing space and having so much to do. It’s so easy to get bogged down in the what I MUST do that I often forget to do the things I most need for myself.
Oh yes. I need space right now, too. A moment. Or two. Or 6,341. It’s hard to just stop and take that time and space when there is so much that must be done.
Teresa, this is like a magical unfolding. The letting go is somethimes so challenging. We’ve invested time, energy and meaning into things we believe are important to who we are. I love how you see it as opening the creative spirit to the heart. The body and the mind are really heart centered and we need to remember that.
Yes, indeed it can be so difficult to let go, but to heal and move on, we must! Great share Teresa 🙂
It can be so hard to let go of things that aren’t serving us because on one level they are comfortable and familiar, even if they aren’t good for us. Congratulations on working through!
Oh, boy, can I relate to this. Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been refining my vision / goals / desires. It took a lot of prayer and essential oils to get there. But once I did, I felt a great peace, not like I had felt in a long time when I was unsettled. It’s okay to be where you are, but moving into your “real” place is so great!
I could really feel you inhabiting the place you describe, Teresa. Reading this my sense is you are in a Saturn year in one of your life cycles, and Saturn is all about letting go of what no longer serves us. Be that people, patterns, things. Saturn often moves slowly too, so it can feel like we are deep into something we can’t find the end too. Congrats on your willingness to go there, be there and stay there, for as long as you need to. Peace baby…
Beautifully written and expresses thoughts and feelings that are universal.
Thank you Roslyn.
Sometimes I feel I’ve gotten past the struggle of knowing I’m enough… but it does creep back in every now and again. Why is it so hard for women to accept who they are and stop fearing that they don’t measure up? Very important for us to have these reminders! Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome Lisa.
Hi Teresa! I so agree. We are enough. But I also appreciate being reminded of that EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Thank you! ~Kathy
It feels good to be reminded and to know it…..here’s to feeling good and being enough. You are awesome Kathy!
We are enough, right now – beautiful Teresa. Yes, we are bombarded with advice to do more, be more, buy more, and it can ruin the experience of enjoying the in between. I love your inspiring posts. 🙂
Thank you for being here Tami and I love what I do to help woman thru success coaching and programs. I love that you are enjoying the blog too…means a lot to hear this.
I am right there with you. I have to remind myself that I am between where I was and where I want to be. And yes it is scary.
Thanks for commenting Sabrina.
I love celebrating the ‘in-between’ – it takes such radical self-acceptance and, ironically, this is the piece that gets us were we want to go! Great post!
That is so true Reba!
I love this, Teresa! Especially: “I cannot run from me nor can I stay there. I am in-between my big dreams and my fears.” Just beautiful!
I appreciate your comment Susan – it means a lot.
