Chapters

in books are so
easy
to spot.
A neat title
page,
often also an
index upfront,
indicating exactly
when a new chapter
starts.

Life is not
like
this.
We often
stumble from
day to day,
only to look
back weeks,
months, or
even years
later,
surprised
by aha moments
of new beginnings,
changes in
how
we feel,
and occasionally
even who
we
are.

Why am I
calling
this out
today?
Well, it’s
to remind myself,
and you,
that we are
constantly learning
and growing.
And this
includes closing
out old
chapters
in our lives
to make
space
for new
ones…

So looking at
your own
life today,
what are you
shutting down, giving up,
or setting free,
in order to create
breathing room
and space
for something, or even
someone
truly glorious?

Remember that
the universe
adhores
a vacuum:
so make some space
and watch
the magic
happen.
