IN MY ARENA

I am standing in my arena again, a big expanse of space, just me and my idea. Perhaps there will be an audience unsure of what to expect but maybe watching because they like me, are curious, have seen what I do and want to see more, are inspired or maybe they don’t like me and want to see me fail?

Do I not stand for fear of failure, or the difficult comments or people I might encounter?

I’m familiar with the arena, I know what it feels like, exciting, exhilarating, exhausting, scary! Yes scary and here I am again dipping my toe into that huge place of uncertainty with only myself and my work and this time, well, I’m older, with more of life’s challenges under my belt, more broken and… more mended.

All that has gone before has been me, my style, my care, my drive, my heart. I gave too much and didn’t look after myself properly but today with all my life lessons and everything I’ve learnt and continue to learn, the arena toe tap will become two feet, probably bare foot, rooted firmly to the ground, present with all of my heart and all of my vulnerability. I’ll show and tell of my work, because I can, it’s authentic, it’s mine, it’s me.

Are you ready to stand in your arena?

With love,
