Gratitude Practice 2024 April 15: Un-becoming.

“Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's about un-becoming everything that isn't really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.” - Paulo Coelho

Lots of reflection lately. Lots to consider and contemplate. Grateful for the slower pace of cancer life (still not grateful FOR cancer or cancer life) as it offers up lots of time to think about both the process of becoming and now the sacred process of un-becoming. Grateful for the opportunity to consider and shed and shake off what no longer works. Grateful for sacred seasons of learning and growth that got me to this place. Grateful for all of the previous versions of me that fumbled along as I figured so much of life…and often the hard way. And now just as grateful to bless and release and a sacred un-becoming in lots of tender ways. Grateful for an unwanted season to carefully evaluate and consider and un-become all the while totally confident that the next version of me is feeling more real than ever before.
