Dear Reader,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few times in my life, I\u2019ve thought, this is it<\/em>. Sometimes it was shaped by how I saw myself. Interior designer. Each one felt exciting for a moment \u2014 like trying on a new coat in front of a mirror. There was resistance. And I thought maybe that meant I wasn\u2019t capable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking back, I don\u2019t think those dreams failed. They were built from logic. But my heart wasn\u2019t built for small containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It wanted something bigger. Sometimes the dream that scares you is the one that fits.<\/strong> 🌱<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Yoga. They weren\u2019t detours. They were teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They taught me that an acorn doesn\u2019t grow into a tree without scheduled watering. They taught me that imperfection can exist \u2014 You can wobble and still grow. Growth doesn\u2019t require perfection. It requires consistency.<\/strong> ✨<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s funny. They felt heavy. But the bigger dream \u2014 the one that once terrified me \u2014 It asks more of me. Maybe the blank vision wasn\u2019t a sign to shrink. Dear Reader,<\/p>\n\n\n\n If a dream feels like a bad fit, don\u2019t assume you are incapable. You are allowed to outgrow your former ideas of yourself. With love and persistence, What dream feels like it fits your whole<\/em> spirit \u2014 not just your circumstances? 🌞<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Reader, A few times in my life, I\u2019ve thought, this is it.This is what I\u2019m meant to do.

This is what I\u2019m meant to do. This is who I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes by the box I believed I fit into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Crocheter.
Professional book reader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But when I stepped into it fully\u2026 something didn\u2019t move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was a blankness.
There was a future I couldn\u2019t quite see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n🌿 The Wrong Fit Isn\u2019t Failure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
I think they were too small for my spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From circumstance.
From what felt \u201cpossible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Something that stretched beyond my own hands.
Something that whispered, save the world<\/em> \u2014 even if my brain replied, be realistic<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n🌞 The Lessons I Didn\u2019t Know I Was Learning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Weight-loss.
Discipline.
Routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That sunlight matters.
That patience matters.
That showing up matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and the picture can still become beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can doubt and still water the seed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n🌱 When Small Dreams Feel Impossible<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
My smaller dreams felt impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like trying to force myself into something that didn\u2019t quite align.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
feels expansive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it also feels like me<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe it was a sign to expand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
It might simply not be your true scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are allowed to dream beyond logic.
You are allowed to water a seed no one else can see yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
