Now is Your Time

Here’s a beautiful poem that helped me tremendously after the election to gain focus and fuel my purpose and passion. May it do the same for you. Thank you L’Erin Alta for the inspiration!

If you ever felt called to be a healer, a teacher, a salve for the people, now is your time to come forward.

If you are a word weaver or a light worker or a lender of ears, now is your time to come forward.

If you have been hiding medicine in your pockets, behind your eyes, beneath your tongue, waiting for the ‘right’ time to share it, now is your time to come forward.

If you have been waiting for approval, for validation, for vindication before sharing your most precious gifts, now is your time to come forward.

If you are waiting for the perfect time, the perfect mentor, the perfect plan, now is your time to come forward.

If you can bring laughter, comfort and warmth to the most solemn spaces, now is your time to come forward.

If you have ever been called to use your life for something greater than yourself, now is your time to come forward.

Yes, you might be terrified.
Yes, you might be unpopular.
Yes, you might disrupt the social norm.
But the world needs you. NOW. Come forward.

Imperfect. Broken. Uncertain. Raw. Willing. Open.

Come forward.

Lend your gifts to the greater good. Help make the world a better place so we might all be free.
