Well, the new look for the blog continues to be delayed by real life. Sigh… will have to continue with the half-new version for now because I have so much to say I’m about to burst.
Spring is near and it is a time for renewal. I don’t think I have ever felt this renewed…EVER. I’ve been going through a “rebirthing” process. Change is happening so quickly that sometimes I hardly recognize myself. I occasionally have to talk myself down from a place of fear because change is happening so quickly. When I think of where I was two years ago I cannot believe how the winds have changed.
The biggest thing is I am gaining a new confidence in areas that were previously filled with hesitancy. I am finally OVER hiding myself behind a rock in fear of offending someone, or getting a crusty look from someone who thinks, “Man, that chick is weird.” I simply don’t care anymore. I am ME and I am letting myself SHINE brightly! I no longer choke when saying “I am an artist.” I no longer worry about not becoming a millionaire, and I don’t ever listen to the doom and gloom in the media or anyone else who spouts off that junk. Life is meant to be LIVED with each breath. Every circumstance in front of me, every person in my life deserves unconditional love. I am finally in a place to offer that.
This didn’t happen over night. I am a merciless seeker of knowledge and experiences. I tried many things that didn’t fit me. Those things got quickly stripped off and I’d move on to the next one. Every so often I stumbled upon a true life-changer, a real keeper. The biggest ones being:
1. Taoism- through this philosophy I finally found something that agrees with me.
2. “Loving What Is” by Byron Katie. The last “self help” book I will ever need because guess what… we already are perfect. The other self help guru’s will freak if the contents of this book ever get out.
3. VISION Seminars by Carol Reynolds. Can’t even start to explain what goes on at these events, but if you get a chance to attend one, please do. You will never regret it.
Never stop searching for what fits YOU. It is different for everyone. But whatever you need to do, learn to live your life OUT LOUD!!! I am here to support you because I love you!
Good point, you have to try things to see if they are a fit for you. There is no one answer for everyone. The things that don’t fit will fall away like you said.
The trouble comes when people are too scared to try something new, even when the status quo isn’t working.
