Dear Juice reader, listener, and lover…
Here’s a lovely lil’ Monday message for you. 💐
Human to human. Me to you.
I’ve been doing my best to piece together long-form writing (I have so many stories swirling in the background), but all that wants to come out is…my voice. Marching orders from the universe — I’m falling in line.
If that’s not poetic justice for owning the third pillar of THE12 (The Voice), I don’t know what is. Instead of my normal storytelling in written form, I’ll be sending short-form videos over the course of the next week. Today’s message is inspired by the messy kitchen sink of my favorite bookstore in Lisbon — the one I go to every week for writer’s hour.
Messy Kitchens
Dirty Dishes
Letting go of Perfection
Rooms of Substance.
Opportunities to learn and grow.
Enjoy.
That moment of connectedness — that moment of being with others — is a moment of not worrying about the dirty dishes in the sink, but instead celebrated belonging. The depth of what goes on around a dinner table far outweighs the nagging feeling of cleaning the dishes.
These moments will teach you how to be — how to be with yourself — when you decide presence is more important than perfection. When all you want to do is clean the dirty dishes, but instead you choose to be in a room of belonging. You choose to care so much more about the experience of being connected than fixing what needs to be perfect.
You soon realize…the dishes can wait.
The experience of the room far outweighs the need for every single detail to be rout with perfection.
Leave the dishes in the sink,
xM
