ACT TWO

My gratitude carries me... an undercurrent of inspiration guides. Even when I stop pointing with the stream, peaked for success... even when I crumble up into a ball and allow my sweet tears to blend with the salty energy... even still I am afloat and moving forward- driven by heart and rolling with the tide... I tumble along. But today my eyes gaze up, thru the marbled blue I see an expanse of opportunity. There is no horizon, only the continuation of my bountiful journey. When I reflect, my he… Continue

recapping

It took total abandonment and rejection on multiple levels- but most especially and recently from one I thought truly loved me unconditionally- to discover self-acceptance. I had no idea when i got acceptance tattooed on my foot 5 months ago, that I would be struggling with acceptance of myself.

It has taken decades for the notion, that I do not judge my self worth on how I am reflected in others eyes, to travel from my head to my heart. I am still mending and it stills stings, i still doubt. B… Continue

Day 4 &5

bought a coworker a treat and gave a gift to a very special person for a very special reason.

It was incredibly humbling to walk away when I wanted to cry and plead and beg him to come back to me. But its his day and not about me- I smiled and walked away feeling like a tons of bricks was lifted off my shoulders. Giving sets you free.

Still- today I cried so much. I miss him with all my heart and soul.

Thanks for all your comments! This is the first time I've gone quite so public with my story. I've always imagined myself helping others through sharing my life's journey in some way. But I always found an excuse why I couldn't or shouldn't. So I've…

I have received a few gifts, tea, coffee and a co-worker bought me a cool ornament for my house. I have given quite a few out of the blue compliments. Offered to help with a few different things. I am hoping to give more and more!

I agree with that totally, I am a bit of a procrastinator sometimes and this has pushed me to do things NOW rather than think about it and potentially never get to it! What kind of yoga do you teach? I have just started to practice Ashtanga yoga. Ha…

Thank you for talking about your creative blockage. When you have a very task oriented job i think it sucks your creative side. A book marker what a great idea. It is good to start small. have a great day. Michele
