COLOR ME ECLIPSED

29, what was supposed to be the golden hour in my young adult life, felt more like an eclipse 

I entered my Saturn Return and the universe conspired to change me for the better

My surroundings challenged me to live in congruency with my truest essence and energy

Suddenly I was feeling too present– I was uncomfortable, and resented it 

My confidence was confronted, my purpose in question; my old ways began rejecting me

How do I come into relationship with my thoughts? I couldn’t see past the barriers

Temporary highs weren’t satisfying me anymore

Fulfillment became the mission - a pursuit of joy and clarity shaped my “why”

Nothing felt sparkly for a while, until it did

Embracing the unknown emboldened me to own my vulnerability

To put myself out there, explore new possibilities

I loosened my grip on the limiting beliefs I held in my twenties

And clearer visions came into focus

My bravery unveiled new personal truths

I realized the beautiful things I loved about the world all lived inside me

Chrysalis began to shed, truer colors took form

The merging of my light and darkness gave way to my most authentic self

I can be the sun, I can be the moon; two things can be true

My energy became focused and funneled into this new moon phase

Giving myself the space to live in the in-between propelled me to the other, brighter side

Color me eclipsed, impassioned yet grounded, and motivated

I am grateful for the challenges in my orbit

And this life the Universe and I co-created for my 30th year
