I show up…
because every fiber in my being begs to slip back under the covers and sleep for an eternity.
I show up…
because my heart is filled with the grief of a lifetime immersed in unworthiness.
I show up…
because ego beckons me to shrink back to the safety of the shadows.
I show up…
because I need to hear the words that spill out beneath my pen.
I show up…
because I long to have my soul mirror back to me what she sees as she gently cups my face in her palms.
I show up…
because I believe in the little girl within who waits quietly to unfurl her wings and fly.
I show up…
because I refuse to bow down to the seeds of fear planted within my mind.
I show up…
because I know who I am beyond flesh and bones.
I show up…
because I am a warrior of light ready to shine my heart for the world.
I show up…
because you are here, by my side.
I show up…
because, together, we can hold the space to love more fiercely, trust more fervently, and live more authentically.
I show up…
because my life’s purpose is to show up again and again and again.
Why do you show up?

And when you show up? I see you and I love you. And you are soaring above it all.
We are wonderful mirrors for each other, aren’t we? So grateful our paths have crossed!
Beautiful Carrie. So glad you have shown up in my life!
I feel the same way! Sometimes I think we need to Skype once a week instead of every two:)
Oh, wow, so beautiful. Thank you Carrie. I show up because I live for love and connection, be it across a computer screen, gazing into the eyes of another, having a late night conversation on the phone, touching and caressing the hand of a beloved, breathing the air of Spirit, laying next to the warmth of an animal body…I show up. Thank you for stirring this in me tonight.
I love the showing up because you live for love and connections. I love despite everything, we are still willing to show up, again and again and again. What strength!
Dear Carrie, I’m so glad you keep showing up and I love the way you write. On the difficult days I remind myself that I just need to keep showing up. Nothing less. Nothing more. Thanks for sharing this so beautifully xxx
Jackie, it’s so important to give ourselves the space to show up with no expectations, isn’t it?! Thank you for coming by!
Wow. YES! This moved me so much.
Quite often, I don’t show up. Sometimes, it’s because I give myself permission not to – and that’s still showing up, because I’m showing up for and with myself. Other times, it’s because I run scared and hide. For those times, I’ve bookmarked this post. ♥
Elinor~ I have those times too, which is maybe…perhaps…okay…I wrote the post as a reminder to myself. lol!
I’m showing up, because I finally realized I am worthy. Chubby or not. :0)
I see you and love you because of who you are, my friend. LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!!!
I show up because I can’t not. <3
I know, right!?
Yes, Ellie, exactly! THAT is why I show up! <3
And I should add…because I had way too many years when I did NOT show up.
Me too. Nice we can show up together!
I show up because no one else has the right of ruling my life but me.
Sabrina, well said!!! Thanks for popping over:)
I show up … because my heart demands the warmth of connection to keep it soft and open.
I love this line: “because my heart demands the warmth of connection to keep it soft and open.” YES YES YES!

Thanks Mara!!!
So beautiful and moving.
Thank you so much for this Carrie. I can’t tell you how much it affected me today.
Thanks Tina! It seems we were both affected by each others post today. You are one of the most authentic souls I know. Thank you!

Yes, I show up because I just can’t not show up. There doesn’t seem to be another option.
