“Your soul needs a place where it can fly.”
I have a secret place on the internet.
It doesn’t ask for likes. It doesn’t beg for claps.
It simply holds me — as I am.
A place where I’m not performing.
Not pitching.
Not optimizing.
Just existing in full color, full truth, full self.
This is my sacred digital ground.
And building it has changed me on a cellular level.
I process here.
I forgive here.
I reclaim my power here.
I tell stories that make me feel alive — even if no one else reads them but me.
Some people run. Some people paint.
Me? I write.
And in this space, I don’t need to impress.
I just need to be honest.
The Night I Asked God for a Voice
One evening, after listening to Aretha Franklin sing Nessun Dorma, I broke down crying.
I asked God, “Why not me?”
Why didn’t I get a voice that could move people like that?
And gently, deeply, I heard it in my heart:
You were never meant to sing through your voice.
You were meant to sing through your stories.
That moment changed me.
I stopped trying to sound like someone else.
I started listening to the music in my words.
Everyone Deserves a Sacred Ground
You don’t need a following.
You don’t need to be “good.”
You just need a place to meet yourself.
Start a blog.
Write poems.
Post essays that sound like journal entries.
Open a private site just for you.
Let it be messy, beautiful, unfinished.
Let it be yours.
Because your soul doesn’t need more strategies.
It needs a stage — where it can sing in its own language.
My Sacred Digital Ground (And Beyond)
I have a secret place where I come alive.
For me, it’s writing — putting my thoughts, feelings, and stories out into the world, raw and unfiltered.
This is my sacred ground.
But your sacred place might look very different.
Maybe it’s drawing, painting, or crafting.
Maybe it’s dancing alone in your room or cycling through quiet streets.
Maybe it’s knitting, cooking, or gardening — something tactile, grounding, and deeply your own.
Your sacred ground doesn’t have to be digital, and it doesn’t have to be public.
It simply has to be yours.
A place where you show up just for yourself.
Where you don’t worry about likes, shares, or applause.
Where you can breathe, feel, and express without judgment.
Where your soul can spread its wings and fly.
Why Everyone Needs a Sacred Ground?
In a world that constantly demands performance and productivity, having a space where you can just be is revolutionary.
It’s where healing happens.
Where insights bloom.
Where your inner life expands beyond limits.
Whether it’s writing words, moving your body, or crafting with your hands — this place becomes a refuge, a sanctuary, a home for your true self.
What’s Your Sacred Ground?
Not online? Not a problem.
Your sacred ground is wherever your soul feels free.
Maybe it’s that quiet bench in the park where you sketch.
Or your kitchen where you experiment with recipes.
Or the corner of your living room where you play music just for you.
What matters is that it is a dedicated space and time where you honor your own expression.
Journal Prompts to Find or Deepen Your Sacred Ground
- What activity or space makes me feel most like me?
- When do I feel my soul soaring, fully alive and free?
- How do I currently nurture my creative or expressive side?
- What small change can I make to protect more time for this sacred practice?
- How can I create a safe, judgment-free zone for myself — online or offline — where I can show up authentically?
You don’t need permission to claim your sacred ground.
You don’t need to be perfect or popular.
You just need the courage to show up for yourself.
Because your soul needs a place where it can fly — wherever that may be.
