The Space of Greatness

☀️ Not too bad as a workspace for a few hours...

Every research event feels like a privilege and opportunity —a chance to explore, contribute to meaningful research, and stay tethered to the incredible pillar team I call home in San Diego.

But let’s be real. Glory doesn’t exist without the weight of its own toughness.

This work—both outer and inner—has a way of reflecting back everything I’m navigating within myself. I can’t think of a single event I’ve worked where I didn’t come right up against myself.

There have been moments when I’ve felt stripped bare—on my knees in the raw humanness of it all. Wrestling with judgment (self, and yes others), grappling with feelings of exclusion, insignificance, and braving the sharp-edged whispers of the inner critic.

And then—deep breath—I return.

To home.

To the space of greatness within.

To the steady space within where all the noise settles. Where I can see the parts of myself I’m not fully loving. Where grace reminds me to hold myself and others with softness.

This space, this home—it never leaves. 💓

Even in the tough moments, I am reminded:

There is nothing here that isn’t supposed to be here. 

Nothing here is out of place.

And what a privilege it is to feel every raw, unfiltered moment—to truly sit with it—and still rise from my knees, choosing love and appreciation.

Here’s to the new moment that is HERE. NOW. 

Big Love 🖤
