Having been home in sweats since Thursday night, my latest illness-induced “retreat” has been another I-opening experience. Cancer taught me the hard way that sometimes the body says “stop” & I’ve learned to lovingly listen. Rather than fight the fever, I surrender to the experience knowing something’ll show up that I’ve needed to know.
For my entertainment, I’ve enjoyed Season One of the Bravo hit show, Project Runway. I fell in love with Austin Scarlett this weekend & so appreciate his unabashed sense of self. While others might find him too something, he has an uncanny ability to bring his bright, beautiful, authentic Austin-ness into his work & the world. He may have been “out” in the contest but clearly, Mr. Scarlett’s won the battle of being self-actualized. Slap on that ascot, I say.
The theme of this session, then, has been “a return to me.” Here on day 3, I feel highly attuned to who I truly am again. I’m shocked by the creative “genius” flowing so freely forth; I’m also scared to unearth emotions that make me a little uneasy. Regardless, I know I shall emerge into the world on Monday with a clearer vision & voice.
Brimming again with ideas for my re-energized bunny time, talent & treasure, I can’t wait to get started on several new projects. One of them being making more place for play in my life. During a meditation, I saw myself as kid - climbing a tree, making mud pies in a garden lush with ladybugs - & I was really happy. Going forward, I know I’ll need more nature in my nurture.
Here’s to all of us living loud & proud in an Austin-inspired openness!
