For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been completely immersed in a world that I hadn’t allowed myself to be a part of for quite some time: the world of creation.

It’s been a year since I was last here, actually. It’s been a year since I have felt the urge to step into this seemingly endless well of creativity – this vortex of imagination and possibility. It’s been a year since I have felt this magnetic pull and given myself fully to it.

And it’s been absolutely amazing. I haven’t wanted to leave my computer and stop the flow. I haven’t slept as much. I haven’t eaten as much. And to be completely honest, I haven’t kept up with my work responsibilities as much as I probably should. I hear my soul’s whispers, and I want to put into creation what they are asking me to. I want to honor this calling and bring it to life. I want to get it out of me and into the world.

And it’s happening – so wonderfully and so quickly. I had forgotten just how wonderful this feels. For so long, I had shied away from these creative urges – on this big of a scale. To be honest, I was afraid of them. I was afraid that they would overtake me. That I wouldn’t be able to contain them, and that they would completely take over my life.

And in a way, they have. So I guess you could say that my worst fears have been realized. But in a good way. Because what’s being born feels magical to me, and it feels like it’s exactly what needs to be born right now in this exact moment.

Yes. I could push the creative urges back. Yes. I could stuff them down. Yes. I could ask them to come back later. Yes. I could ask them to move onto someone else.

Yes. I could do all of these things. I might have done this in the past. I have done this in the past.

But what I’m realizing is that I no longer am okay with squashing my own lifeblood for the sake of everyone and everything else. I am a creator. That’s what I do. And all of the responsibilities and tasks that lie before me mean absolutely nothing if I’m not truly living – if I’m not saying yes to what matters the absolute most to me: listening to my soul’s whispers and sharing them with the world.

So yes, it’s true that I’m a bit more behind with my writing and my projects and my emails and my seemingly endless to-do list. And yes, it’s true that I am a bit manic and a bit sleep deprived and a bit underfed.

But I’m happy. I feel a different kind of nourishment that comes from deep within – that comes from knowing that I am listening to this wise voice inside of me, asking me to create. Saying that it’s time.

I’m taking this time and allowing this magical creation to be born. I’m giving myself the permission and the freedom to completely immerse myself in this vortex. And I’m so excited to share this creation soon. (You can sign up for the waiting list here if you would like to learn more about it when it’s available.)

I have a feeling that I’m not alone in frequently squashing my creative urges for fear that they will take up too much of my precious time – time that I could spend behaving more responsibly. And I bet you know exactly what I’m talking about when you finally allow yourself to give into this magnetic pull. When you feel that complete wholeness and oneness with the universe because you’ve said yes to your purpose. You feel completely at peace in yourself. Completely alive.

I would love for each of us to give ourselves this gift: the next time we feel the urge to create to let it flow out of us. To allow it to be born. To give ourselves permission to see it through. To make the time for it to come out. To know that it’s important. To trust that it wouldn’t be given to us if it wasn’t meant to be created.

I’m definitely going to continue allowing this creative vortex to pull me in, and it’s my heart’s desire that you will do the same.

It’s just too important for us not to. Seriously.
