Lean In: Poem by Emily Long

Sometimes life hands you little gifts. Just a day or so ago I discovered a great, new (to me) blog with the absolutely delicious title Time Rescuer. I signed up for the free newsletter, and today this lovely poem landed in my inbox (complete with a photo of a cat – how did she know I’m a cat person?)

Serendipity! As I leap off into the abyss and wrestle with self-doubt, I treasure word-gems like this to keep me moving forward.

Enjoy!


Lean In

Standing on the edge
The precipice of change
Anticipation vibrates
Reaching out to touch
The misty veil of old
Becoming new

Lean in

Comfort and familiar
Whispers safety behind
Uncertainty, unknown
Beckons from beyond
One step, one moment
And all the world can change

Lean in

Let go and fall
Feel the wind rise up
Lift me out of darkness
Arms reach out and become
Wings that catch the wind
As I soar above

Lean in

Lean into life
Into uncertainty and fear
Reach out, into and through
The misty veil of doubt
To find the space between
Where magic lives

Hey, I'm Melissa!

Sandi WedemeierWhen Melissa offered coaching, I jumped at the chance. I gained such HUGE insights! Each time I came up with a reason that I couldn't, she came up with a way that I could. In the end, she gave me an assignment, a realistic and doable one.I'm happy to say that not only was my creativity jumpstarted, but that the love and the joy of creativity is back.

Delisa Carnegie, from the Creativity RebellionIn my time with Melissa, I was re-energized, admitted to the things I need to stop doing, found the things I want to be doing and was given easy actionable steps to get me back in the creative swing of things. Simply amazing! She is full of energy and wonderful ideas.
