Pivot

“We either live with intention or exist by default.” – Kristin Armstrong

It’s been a season of big and small, sudden and not-so-sudden change. Trying to keep my footing, I find myself pivoting, adjusting, accepting, shifting, at times with heels dug in, often tripping but always getting up and moving, sometimes forward and at times a few steps back. Letting go of what was and trusting at some point what is and is to come will play out the way it is meant to.

When we pivot, we keep one foot grounded in what is fundamental to our core values, beliefs, intentions, universal and non-worldly truths – love, peace, kindness, gratitude, joy, faith, despair, darkness and ultimately light – God. The other foot is the one that moves, opens us up to beginnings, transitions, new directions, pushing us to release assumptions and judgments that weigh us down.

Grounded yet still moving – the pivot.
