“The light peeks through my cream colored blinds beckoning me to start the day.
Let me sleep longer – I toss and turn – using the blanket as my shield.
But no, the light – the light keeps getting brighter.
And that’s a lot like how an epiphany begins.
It twinkles and turns catching your eye..
Before it’s full blown illuminating your life.
Try to ignore it you might,
but eventually.
And I promise eventually,
You’ll give into the light.”
I wrote this poem almost two years ago and it still rings true today. Sometimes you get a feeling you just can’t shake. You can hide beneath the covers, but eventually you have to come out and face the light. Whether it’s relationships no longer serving you or an idea that won’t stop tapping you on the shoulder. If there is one thing I’ve learned, it’s trust your gut instinct. A good rule of thumb for ideas – which hasn’t failed me yet – is if you can’t shake it for a month then do it. I dreamt about Harness for 30 days and 30 nights – I only exorcised that idea demon when it was born and in the universe. And I am incredibly grateful that the idea demon was persistent for so long.
XX Enjoy your Tuesday
