“To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance.” ~ Oscar Wilde Hi everyone!
I know this Holiday week is really busy for many of us, so I’m going to be brief. I had a powerful conversation with someone last week that has remained with me. This is a person I trust, so I was there with an open heart and a lot of curiosity. Part of what the person shared is that they see when my layers of protection come up. Those layers can keep me distant, and they noted that I have some weapons I use to ensure my own safety. Hmmmm. There’s a lot to unpack in all of that. ☺️ I’ve been giving this concept some spaciousness, and I’ve been investigating with a soft internal gaze. I’m sure my protective layers, and my weapons, have served me well at certain times in my life. I learned those things for a reason. However, do I still need these? Are these habits still supporting me? Or, are they hindering me? As the conversation continued, we also talked about knowing “what we’re up to.” That when we have focus, and purpose, and fulfillment, life sure is better all the way around. I’ve been thinking about that, too. So, as we continue enjoying these long days of light, why not create one thing we want to shift before the end of this year? We’ve passed the half-way point, so it’s a great time to get clear. 🤩 When we reach Winter Solstice, or New Years, won’t it be fun to look back at this moment and exclaim, “Wow! Look at what we did! Look at far we’ve come!” Reminder: this shift does not have to BIG in order to be impactful. Why not start small . . . and see how significant a small shift can truly be? Me? I’m going to try and shrink both the moat and the walls that I use to “protect” myself. I don’t think I need them all any more. 🥰 The Oscar Wilde quotation above sure says a lot. No matter where we are in this moment, here’s to loving ourselves! With love and light, ~m WAHOO!
