In the middle of an important chapter

They always say hindsight is 2020. But I’m not in hindsight right now - I’m in the thick of things. I am in the middle of my story.

Writing my story has been a transformative journey. As I sit down at my desk, fingertips poised on the keyboard, I feel a sense of exhilaration mixed with vulnerability. With each word that flows from my mind onto the screen, I am constructing sentences and unravelling the layers of my experiences and emotions. It is a cathartic process of self-discovery that allows me to capture moments of joy, pain, and growth. Writing my story is an act of liberation, as I permit myself to be raw, authentic, and unapologetically real. Through writing, I find solace, clarity, and a connection with the essence of my being. Each chapter becomes a stepping stone, shaping the narrative of my life and empowering me to create a story that is uniquely mine.

Can we write our stories from our perspective while understanding that the other characters are also inside of their own story and writing us as a character from their perspective?

What is fair? Am I the hero? The villain? A memory? A vision?

If you are in the middle of your story and can’t quite see the forest for the trees, I highly recommend getting real, if even just to yourself, and write your story.

I know you aren’t finished with this chapter, and you don’t see how it will work out in the end. And still, write your story. Even if your eyes are the only ones that read the lines (or in between the lines). You’ll be able to share all the nuances later. Right now, pick up the pen.


Having a hard time writing your story? That’s okay! When you come on a yoga retreat with me in Costa Rica, we always have a “Write Your Story” workshop with a fantastic therapist, Carolyn. The yogis loved last year's seminar so much that she’s coming again in October!
