Staying Stuck or Small Stepping Toward a Dream
Some days, weeks are a study in creativity, in flow.
In all the pieces falling together.
And other weeks, just no. Ever experienced this ebb and flow?
A feeling of being on, then not.
I don’t think this is simply a thang creatives feel.
What if this is life?
A change of seasons, a shifting of the gears.
A rotation of the guards.
If one is forever productive, where is the moment for rest?
The beat to celebrate?
I wrote about learning to truly celebrate listening to hens. And it’s actually an essay in my new book. One of 88, oh how I love numbers.

Want to read that excerpt from my book?
If you're a JOY! Subscriber, you can right now. Or become one.
Either option is a seriously delicious read as the animals they teach me so much.
Like feeling overwhelmed or out of sorts… how to simply shrug it off, let it go. When I sit with a little rescue baby all of that nonsense fades away.
Especially when this happens.

Yet, how many mothers tend to have a child on one hip and bemoan the lack of time to dive into their side hustle, their JOY, their dreams.
How many tend to spin in but the job, I can’t possibly write that book now.
Yet, if not now, when?
What is it, in our nature that doesn’t want to sink into the now..? But instead, so deeply believe the happy lies just over there.
Whenever someone steps into overwhelm, I wish I could hand deliver a baby goat like the one who 2x4ed me.
(Her name's Snow White, a name that came so easily)
Because when a baby goat headbutts you, it’s no joke.
And it seriously puts “pay attention to the now, to me” in bold, bright perspective.
But for some a tap from this little princess wouldn’t be enough to shake loose that hold of stubborn overwhelm – is it that ingrained in you it’s become your go-to?
Well, I bet a headbutt from Moo Baah, my big ass, intimidating goat, might change your mind.
Ask yourself today, what’s more important…
Staying stuck or taking one small step at a time toward your dream?
If you don’t even know what you want, I feel your pain.
Swimming in that pond once brought up feelings of shame for me.
I wrote about it here and here and here.
