I felt tired, I felt cranky
More than I liked
Overwhelmed and exhausted
My busy-ness spiked
I was lost and unsure
Was I really enough?
There was a pit deep inside
I attempted to fill by doing stuff
I made myself busy
Filled life to the brim
Without purpose and meaning
It all felt quite grim
My intuitive voice
Drowned out by the ‘shoulds’
The ‘have tos’ and ‘must dos’
Quashing the thought that I could
Time quickly gobbled up
None of it savoured as my own
Left exposed and unguarded
My life was on loan
Then one horrendous day
As I heard myself ROAR
My heart grew so heavy
And I decided no more
I stopped in that moment
I quietened the noise
I then heard it speak softly
My inner wise voice
It was unique, it was splendid
A primal call from my heart
i was beginning to listen
I was making a start
I carved out sacred moments
To listen with intent
Reflecting and journalling
Discovering how life could be spent
The more that I listened
The volume went up
Amplified by attention
My intuitiveness bubbling up
My unique and wise voice
Singing my very own song
A melodious tune
Wanting to guide me along
I was tentative at first
Afraid to dance to my own beat
It felt awkward and uncomfortable
Action and desire now to meet
I still continue to ease deeper
Getting to know the primal me
My values, my desires
Expressed raw and authentically
I made a positive change
To live in harmony with ME
To dance to the tune of my own song
And be guided by its rich melody
In 2015 I will be releasing both workshops and coaching programs designed to guide women towards freedom, possibility and choice: so they dance wholeheartedly towards a more meaningful life.

Karen, I’m so honored to post this poem on Wonder Anew, a project about personal positive change. Living with harmony. I’ve become aware of how much strength and courage it takes to be myself. It’s worth the process. Hugs to you.
