Enough said.

He was doing dishes. Some song came on. One he'd heard a thousand times. But this time, for some reason, he actually heard it. The vocals. The way they built. The pause before the chorus. The emotion in it. And he stopped washing. Hands in the soapy water. Just listening. When was the last time he actually listened to music? Really listened? Not as background noise. Not while doing something else. Just... listened. He stood there for the whole song. Didn't move. Didn't think. Just... there. When it ended, he laughed at himself. "I just stopped doing dishes for a song." But something had opened. Some door he didn't know was closed. The rest of the day, everything sounded different. Birds outside. His wife's voice. The hum of the refrigerator. He was hearing the world for the first time in years. And it was beautiful. See you in presence.

I just want to wish you peace that surpasses all understanding and joy that fills your hearts! Have a blessed 2026!!! 🎊🥳🎉🪅♥️

"Can I ask you something?" "Sure." "Do you ever notice how much your heart knows before your head figures it out?" "What do you mean?" "Like... I don't know. Like yesterday I was stressing about whether to take that job. Making pros and cons lists, asking everyone's opinion, totally in my head about it. And then I just put my hand on my chest and... I already knew. The answer was just there." "Oh yeah. I get that. It's like the body knows but the mind wants to keep talking about it." "Exactly! So why do we ignore it?" "Fear probably. Like the heart says something and the mind goes 'but what if you're wrong?'" "Right. But here's what's weird - when I actually listened to my heart, everything got quiet." "Quiet how?" "Like all the anxious thoughts just... stopped. It wasn't scary quiet. It was peaceful quiet. Like I could finally breathe." "Huh. That happened to me last week actually." "Yeah?" "Yeah. My kid was upset about something and I was trying to fix it, give advice, solve the problem. You know, full parent mode. But then I just stopped talking and put my hand on her back. And I felt it." "Felt what?" "I don't know. Love? Connection? Just... this warmth. And she calmed down immediately. Not because I said the right thing. Because I was actually present with her." "See! That's what I'm talking about. When you drop into your heart, the overthinking stops." "But it comes back though." "Of course it comes back. But now you know there's somewhere else to go. Somewhere that actually feels good." "Yeah. It's like... the mind is loud but the heart is solid." "Exactly. The mind is always spinning stories but the heart just... is." "Is that presence? Like what all the spiritual people talk about?" "I think so. But it's not some far away thing. It's literally right here." "In your chest." "Yeah. Just breathing. Just being. Just feeling." "So why is it so hard to stay there?" "Because the mind doesn't trust it. The mind wants to figure everything out. Control everything. The heart just wants to be with what is."

I wasn’t sure if I wanted to share this, but it is a win and I haven’t posted it anywhere else yet. My character still feels very weird regarding attention or the “spotlight” and I’m reframing it as “more love” which is something I learned from a session with Gavin. After my first session with Gavin, 2 people reached out to me asking if I would like to be interviewed about my business. So I said yes and a couple of months later, here is it 😃 thank you all for providing a space where we can celebrate collectively and be open to more love 🙏🏽https://boldjourney.com/meet-celinda-de-la-fuente-3/
