Ready for Courage | Memorial Day 2021

Ready for Courage

I’m not ready

to be vulnerable

share my cracks and doubts

acquired on my journey

I armor up, shove them down

allow you to see what I want you to see

while I hide from my mirror’s reflection

I hold my breath

silenced and anxious

waiting for the perfect moment to be ready

To release the voice

that is either “too much” or “not enough”

and so loud that no one can hear

My truth

that I can courageously play in traffic

knowing that this is how I grow

how I love

how I become the person, I was born to be.

I’m ready.

Too often, we wait for the perfect moment to have that conversation, share our voice, or start something new. But, unfortunately, it never comes without the vulnerability and courage to first step into the arena.

Seven years ago today, I decided to start my entrepreneurial journey. I wasn’t fully ready, but I did it anyway. Today, I’m so glad I found the courage to do so. Thanks for being on this ride with me.

A special thank you to our Veterans as we honor our fallen heroes this Memorial Day weekend in The States. Thank you for having the vulnerability and courage to put it all on the line for us.

Today’s video is about courage, arenas, and Normandy. You can view it below.

In honor of Memorial Day, all Pause Breathe Reflect Stars and Stripes Tee and Sweatshirt are 20% off. It’s the movement that will help you find your courage. Also, you can pre-order our new Paws Breathe Reflect gear for your best friend through June 12th.

As you might know, May was National Mental Health Awareness Month, and a great way to support our troops is to help organizations destigmatizing the shame associated with mental and emotional health challenges.

This month Pause Breathe Reflect has donated to three organizations supporting this mission every time someone attended one of our five-minute meditations on Clubhouse. We grabbed close to 120 PBRs, and tomorrow we will write a $3,000 check. Thank you for showing up and sending a ripple of kindness

One last thing, on June 5th, one of my Clubhouse’s friends, Stacy Brass-Russell, is hosting an online event that will be sure to inspire you. I will be sharing the power of your breath and would love it if you came. Click MINDSET to get access.

Until next week, remember to Pause Breathe Reflect and find the courage to have fun storming the castle! You got this! We got you!
