A Pull

Do you ever feel those internal pulls?

The kind that show up before you get a big idea,

meet a new person,

or are trying to choose where to go on vacation.

It’s like something inside you leans forward and says:

I have an idea.

Go that way.

Do that.

Take action immediately.

Almost like your intuition, your future self, and the universe are all speaking at the same time.

It’s a strange thing.

I can’t even articulate exactly what it is.

But I know it when I feel it.

And when I do, I usually run with it.

This isn’t the everyday kind of tug.

It doesn’t happen often.

Not every month.

Not even every year.

For me, it’s rare.

But when it comes, it doesn’t land lightly.

My body lights up.

There’s this sudden energy — excitement I haven’t felt before.

Maybe it’s dopamine.

Maybe it’s intuition.

Maybe it’s something we don’t have a scientific name for yet.

All I know is this:

The times I’ve felt it and followed it, I’ve never been led in the wrong direction.

Lately I’ve been feeling little flutters of that feeling again.

And today it moved from a flutter…

to a full-blown idea.

What is it?

Well, I can’t totally say yet.

The details are still a little blurry.

But it involves me.

My voice.

My energy.

My writing.

My lived feelings.

Just presented differently.

And honestly?

That’s pretty exciting.
