There are days when I feel invisible.
Days when my voice is not heard, or is it?
Days when my presence is not felt, or is it?
Days when no one is reading my words, or are they?
Days when I feel I am not making a difference, or am I?
Days when I crave connection, the rejuvenating spark when energy is shared with another.
Days when I slouch in my chair while telling myself my efforts have gone unnoticed, I have gone unnoticed.
Days when I pause……..become still…… reflect.
Days when I remember exactly how I want to feel.
Days when I choose to dive deep into my being and remind myself I am worthy.
Days when I break out my smile, the one no one could miss.
Days when I stand as tall as my skin will allow and then stretch up a little bit more.
Days when I refill my bucket of self-love.
Days when I listen to my heart beat a tune all its own.
Days when I remember no one else does anything just the way I do.
Days when I recognise the value I add to this world.
Days when I follow my desire to feel true, valuable, intimate, nimble and fabulous.
Days when I am okay not to be seen.
Love your reflections on this Karen. We are complex, complicated, wonderful beings in every aspect aren’t we?
Thanks Deborah, yes complicated we are. It seems to provide me with endless writing material as I endeavour to make sense of my wonderful reflections.
This entire post resonates with me, Karen, but I especially love the line about the spark from interacting with others! Because I work from home, I often feel isolated from my colleagues. When I get the chance to travel and see them, I always feel re-energized!
Nicole, Working at home becomes a lonely gig, maybe that is why I hover at the school gate ready to pounce on other mums for a chat.
Don’t we all have those days? Sometimes I feel like I just want to hide somewhere, and others when I really need to be around people. Sometimes when I am working from home, I’ll go work at the coffee shop just to be around others.
Michelle I love sitting in coffee shops with my laptop, there is a great energy there, or maybe it is the fact there is no housework to do!!
