Final Days in Seattle Before Bali Adventure
What feels important to share right now?
It is possible to be free and happy. All of us who inspire you where once standing where you are. Where you are is the beginning of the journey to where you wish to go. So declare your desire to be independent, to be seen, to expand into what else is out there beyond.
What is your most memorable moment of today?
Watching the sunset from multiple lookout points around Queen Anne while eating food with Ivy. The sun was hot red begins the wildfire smoke. I realized I have the humans in my life now who I’ve been waiting for; humans who want to walk the hills at sunset while revealing our secret histories, discussing new therapy methods and reflecting with laughter on how silly humans are. I enjoyed a sunset beside another woman who loves adventure, sensuality, freedom, healing and magic.
What are you going to do in Bali?
I hope to be carried down the stream of life. I have a few dots on the map of places I can steer myself to with painting supplies and a yoga mat; the cliffs of an exotic beach, the river paddies and the temple. Apart from that, I plan to return my soul to the rhythm of a balanced life, moving at my pace, guided by intuition, devoted to my simple routines. I intend to wake up and feel with all my senses and remember myself in the present moment, practicing non-attachment to whatever has happened and what will come. In Bali, I am showing up to meet Bali wholeheartedly in the heart and now, please change me as I need to be changed, hold me as I release whatever I thought was mine but actually isn’t and fill me up with the purest energy my body can hold at this stage in my evolution. If nothing else, please take my breath away for a moment when you show me the most beautiful sunset of my life. I’m going to Bali for the sunsets, the magic and to woman I am to become. She will meet me there.
What’s inside your comfort zone now that used to be outside your comfort zone?
I’m selling paintings now. I sold these four this week and shipped them off today. I like to write cute descriptions on the back of the frames. I was so attached to each painting as if it were my baby. I couldn’t bare to part with them until I found collectors that cherished them even more than I do. I stacked them in the corner of the studio. In their new homes they hang proudly on the wall inside frames. Sold they are more appreciated. I was just clinging. Now I enjoy more freedom to create and release. Also traveling (to Asia) alone was beyond my comfort zone and now, with help from friends who fanned my courage, I leave for Bali on Monday. I also used to be afraid to singing in public or even around the house if others might hear me. Now I sing all day without even realizing it. I used to be afraid of skinny dipping and now it’s hard to get me to wear clothes at the beach, at the festivals, in the house, on the internet lol I like the feeling of growth, witnessing my limits move out.
