Hello friend :)
I want to feel calm enough to enjoy what I am doing with clarity, confident that I’m deeply and directly connecting to people, alive and awake in present moments, courageously choosing adventure, creating playful experiences and curiously celebrating how my day (and life) is unfolding with delightful surprises.
This morning I sat in a hidden garden and sipped the most delicious espresso in Seattle. I wrote in my moleskin journal and wondered at the fuchsia flowers. I thought of my grandmother’s garden and all the skills I have learned so far in life. What do I really want to do now?
I’m slowing down just enough to appreciate that all the options before me are the most delicious ingredients to any life path I wish to walk. Integration is power.
I laid in the grass and saw nothing but blue sky. The earth felt so solid beneath my body and the morning sun was not yet hot enough to burn me. In this clear mind space I saw visions that were easy to hold. Shall I act on them?
I kicked off on the swings and a woosh of wind filled by body with joy. It never gets old. I filmed this moment and I’m curious to see if the footage is usable. Will you watch it and feel like you’re swinging with me? That’s what I’ve always wanted from my videos…I want to trick you into feeling that you were actually there in that special moment with me.
Can life really be this simple? Do I really own my time like this? Have a made this happen for myself and how much do I actually need to know to keep going like this? Other people are holding up mirrors for me now and exclaiming that I am living their dream!!! I am their inspiration. How did that happen? Little steps.
Too quickly I take their compliments and swallow them with hunger for validation. I remind myself (and try not to scold myself) to keep the focus on these others. Instead of telling stories about myself, ask them questions to go deeper into the story they just told me. Honor them with my full attention and curiosity. That always feels better.
So tell me friend, what are you stories today? I would love to hear from you. What are you creating? What lesson did you just learn? What moment of BEING present did you just soak inside deliciously? Share something with me please so we may feel connected again.
Love,
Cha Wilde
