The Crossroads of Should and Must.

If you've ever found yourself at the crossroads of two paths that veer off in opposite directions, this post is for you.

It's about discerning your next right step, and what can happen when you accept the invitation to trust yourself and create courageously.

Today I share artist’s Elle Luna's brief illustrated essay: The Crossroads of Should and Must.  I think you’ll be smitten, and inspired.

She captures this challenging, poignant moment of choice in way that's clear-eyed, simple and human. And she reminds us that beautiful things can be born in the process, including yourself.

Savor the artist’s words along with her hand-drawn pen and watercolor illustrations that unfold like a picture book, as she names and makes visible a familiar, yet often misunderstood place.

To you and a gorgeous weekend,

P.S.: Wondering why I felt called to share Luna’s 2014 essay today? My community. And this week’s conversations with clients + friends. Each one reminded me how powerful a professional or personal crossroads feels, how much it surfaces, and how it calls each of us to become who we are.
