My Wildflower Era

The era of …

• Returning to the parts of me that thrive without permission, flourish without pruning, and bloom without applause

• Untangling the need to have a reason, a plan, and a baker’s dozen amount of SMART goals for everything.

• Loosening the knots of over-justification. No more mapping every move, no more proving my worth through productivity.

• Releasing the pursuit of perfection, rehearsed responses, diplomatic opinions, and filtered faces.

• Shedding the polished, “easy to digest” persona and experiencing a reclamation of self.

• Aligning my choices and actions so that I may show up in the world as my most favorite version of myself, no matter how selfish, or messy, or unorthodox it may seem to others.

• Allowing new things to grow in spaces I was trying to control too tightly

• Exploring the world outside of my comfort zone with curiosity, mistakes, and missteps.

• Standing in the sunshine, breathing in the air, listening to the sounds around me, and just being instead of always doing.

• Inhabiting the present without urgency.

• Witnessing moments instead of wrangling them.

• Creating more than I am completing.

• Remaining grounded in my truth and providing shade to those closest to me, no matter the storms that rip through my branches, or the judgments of others who wish I would fall, or shrink, or be pruned.
  
  This is not a pivot or a rebrand.
  This is an untaming.
  
  This is the era of rewilding
