What have you been avoiding?
Poetry Oracle: Week of December 11th
Welcome back to the Self Love Confidential Poetry Oracle, where the universe sends you the message you need to hear right now by way of a poem or two from one of my books.
If you’ve been avoiding something you deeply desire, this week’s Oracle is for you.
“The thing you are
avoiding is most likely
the key to you fully
claiming your worth.
Go there.”
As always, my own poetry comes back to haunt me. I kid. Not haunt me, but remind me. Illuminate me. Realign me.
What have I personally been avoiding? Pitching myself as a speaker. This Fall I decided that for the next phase of my career, I want to take my message of self love and share it with people more directly — by using my voice and presence.
So I did the things you’re supposed to do. I updated my personal website. I created a very impressive media kit. I told my friends and family about what I’m trying to do. But when it came time to truly let the world know, I faltered. I retreated back towards what is familiar. What is comfortable. What is safe. Namely, writing this newsletter rather than doing cold outreach.
It all does truly connect back to my worth. Am I willing to pursue the opportunities I deserve? Am I willing to get a little uncomfortable to get there? Yes and yes. Which is why you may see me posting here a little less frequently for the next little bit of time. Know that if I’m not writing here, I’m writing the world to secure keynotes, panels and workshops at conferences, corporations and beyond. If I’m not writing here, be proud of me. And in turn, I won’t be offended if you read fewer of my emails, and devote that time to facing the things you too deeply desire, but been avoiding.
In 2024, let’s step into our worth — together.
If you’re looking for a speaker, please reply to this email, leave a comment or message me on social media or through my website. I can’t wait to share The ABCs of Self Love with you and your community.
With love,
