So, what’s next? I’ve looked at the dragons, listened to my heart and made the tough decisions to move forward post-divorce. My spirit feels stronger than ever. The right teachers are showing up. A team of creative cohorts is slowly forming. I finally believe that I am supported in whatever challenges life might bring. I’m tired of re-hashing the pain and am content with letting it go.

In it’s place remains a state of grace. This intangible space beyond right or wrong, good or bad, happy or sad. A peaceful stillness underlying the current of life – the “long tide” of life if you will. There is a depth and a silence and a lightness to this space and way of being.
Embracing this grace is a new concept when you are used to “fighting” or pushing your way through life. It’s challenging to embrace peace when you are used to a life of “lows” and “highs”. Most days I still can not believe how much inspiration there is to be taken in and how efffortlessly it can manifest when I am opening to receiving versus pushing.
And my hunch is that not believing the ease is blocking the ease. At my core I believe that it is safe to be beautiful in this world, it’s a place of joy and when we act as sovereign spirits with mutual respect and civility we can create great things. I feel that I can only say this by having looked at the dark parts of myself and life. Having tasted both, the Light is way more fun and nourishing.
So, this month I’ve committed to undertake a Great Creativity Experiment – where I create from my heart, follow the muses and stay true to what resonates and what doesn’t. I’m committing to not acting out of fear, guilt or shame. This goes for overspending, overeating, dating. I’m committing to tempering honesty with kindness. I’m committing to being open to this mysterious influence of Grace in my life. Creating without agenda or outcome, allowing myself to dream big and always listening to my intuition…I’m ready to Embody My Awesomeness. The cool thing about Awesomeness is that we all have our special version of it and the world needs each of them.
So, I’ll be posting about these adventures everyday for the month of February. This is an experiment in creativity and embodiment and I’d love if you want to play along and share your adventures. I’m not sure that the vastness of Grace can be fully embodied in our little human bodies with our little monkey minds, but I’m looking forward to trying.
Let’s get it started with a pep talk from Kid President – I want to be on the path that leads to Awesome. Let’s roll.
