✨The Rain. The Coin. The Stage ✨
In Tallinn, Estonia, it was the final day of .
I woke up to a downpour—one of those soft, gray mornings that pulls you inward. My body wanted to stay tucked in, warm and quiet, yet something subtle stirred beneath the covers.
Sonia Choquette was speaking that day. I knew her voice from afar—her work had touched me before—and still, a part of me hesitated. So I did something I always do: I flipped a coin. Heads, I go. Tails, I stay. Heads it was.
I walked in the rain, barefoot in my Crocs,
Laughing to myself, soaked saying out loud, “What am I doing?” I could’ve stayed in, watched her online.
Inside the venue, lights softened. Applause rippled as Sonia stepped on stage. Her presence carried a different weight. She spoke of intuition, of learning to quiet the barking dog inside, of reclaiming that sacred space where our inner voice lives.
I sat beside a french lady I had never met, and together we dropped into the practice. It felt like being pulled inward by a thread of knowing. And then—it happened.
Sonia looked out at the crowd and her eyes found mine.
She smiled, raised her hand, and invited me up.
The room blurred. My feet were bare. My heart raced like a wild drum. Everything in me screamed, “Not me, not now.” And yet, I stood. I moved. I answered the call.
On stage, she asked my name. “Emmanuelle,” I said. And it echoed—inside me, around me, through me. That moment felt like a veil dissolving.
She took my hand, smiled into my soul, and said, “Emmanuelle, wave to the universe.”
That wave—so simple—carried the weight of lifetimes. My name landed like a prayer. I felt it anchor into me.
I felt so alive.
Emmanuelle. “God is with us.”
That day, I truly waved to the universe.
I let the universe see me.
And in return, it whispered,
Welcome, Emmanuelle. Step forward. It is your time to shine.
