I love Morgan Harper Nichol’s work, and I came across this this week and thought I’d share. August is usually a tough month for me, so these reminders are helpful. 


Let August

be August

by allowing

yourself to trust:

you do not have to be

so hard on yourself

if you cannot make sense

of all that is changing.

In the coming days,

you will find mystery,

and you will also

find room to breathe

and you might just find

even in these unknowns:

you are more prepared

than you think.


You are free to take the time you need to feel what you need to feel… including the good feelings.


Don’t let them rush you. You are traveling at the pace you were meant to.


You are still free to pursue peace right here in the in-betweens.


Whatever happens this month, be gentle with yourself.


Even here, there is still space for us to rise above the fear... propelled into motion by love.


There is more to come.

More love.

More joy.

More grace.

More peace.


Let this be the August

you look back on and say:

“somehow, through it all,

I learned to fall in love

with the journey.”
