[Debrasue Binzley]

I think midlife is when the universe gently places her hands upon 

your shoulders, pulls you close, and whispers in your ear:

I’m not screwing around. It’s time. All of this pretending and performing – 

these coping mechanisms that you’ve developed to protect yourself 

from feeling inadequate and getting hurt – has to go.

Your armor is preventing you from growing into your gifts. I understand 

that you needed these protections when you were small. I understand 

that you believed your armor could help you secure all of the things 

you needed to feel worthy of love and belonging, but you’re still

searching and you’re more lost than ever.

Time is growing short. There are unexplored adventures ahead of 

you. You can’t live the rest of your life worried about what other 

people think. You were born worthy of love and belonging. Courage 

and daring are coursing through you. You were made to live and 

love with your whole heart. It’s time to show up and be seen.''
