We are moving toward the New Moon, looking into the shadow side, beyond the surface and planting seeds for our future.
There’s a benefit to getting sick and staying home from work for days on end… You get to unplug, feel the weakness, the “not-in-control-ness” instead of “I’ll-take-care-of-it-ness”. The shadow-side or other-side becomes the dominant aspect. From that other place sometimes clarity comes more easily or at least one can see beyond the “norm.”
I had that kind of experience recently. Days of endless tea and sitting and stillness, mostly because I literally couldn’t do anything. The gifts of the present moment are endless.. I had the time and opportunity to watch Brene’ Brown on Netflix (here’s the trailer). I really resonated with her, felt her humanness and was inspired by her authenticity! Her expertise is vulnerability and shame, and she is on Netflix!
“I want to be in the arena. I want to be brave with my life. And when we make the choice to dare greatly, we sign up to get our asses kicked. We can choose courage or we can choose comfort, but we can’t have both. Not at the same time.” – Brene’ Brown
I am sharing this with each of you as an offer of inspiration and support. Perhaps she will be an example for all to see, how it looks and sounds or provide validation. This is the light I see in each of us; offering support, validation, and sharing wisdom in many forms.
