Feeling Life

I haven’t been writing lately I have been busy feeling life and healing what has needed to be healed in me.

There is so much coming through right now. So many opportunities to experience the breakdown in little and big ways that gives us access to release the grief that has been building for years. This can open the doorways to all kinds of breakthroughs. To more feeling. To more joy. To more life. And I’m not talking about more doing but about more being.

Those who know me know that I am a really emotional person. I am a Water Spirit. I carry the water. I carry the medicine of forgiveness, reconciliation, bridge building, peace making, and the emotions. Sometimes people assume because I am so emotional that I’m not emotionally intelligent but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

What me feeling life looked like yesterday included me being on a call with a team I have been working with in MN for the past three years training state employees. Here are a couple of things that moved me deeply and brought me to tears.

• In my check in I was sharing about the monks who have been walking for peace. They are showing us what the divine masculine looks like in the face of tyranny. They are showing up with so much love, faith, and peace that people are transformed in their presence. They set of on the journey with just the plan to walk. They had their clothes and their backpack. They have so much faith that the divine would provide and it did in more ways than they could ever imagine  I want that kind of faith.

• Someone shared that they were marching on Friday and witnessing a murder on Saturday by their own government and they are changed forever.

• And last, this one I am still trying to wrap my own brain around… I asked if there was some place we could send food? I am an Instacart kind of girl. We can send food to anyone. Their response was that they aren't giving out addresses because the helpers are being threatened and ICE is taking pictures of their licenses plates and targeting them. So what they are having to do is write down on little pieces of paper the information so that if they are about to be caught they can swallow the paper so as not to give up any information.

What me feeling life looked like yesterday also included me being on a call with a group of deep hearted, wicked smart humans from around the world that are cocreating a new business degined for working with Fortune 500 companies to build healthier teams. They invited me into my own discernment around joining them in this venture. Within 20 minutes of our call I had already fallen in love with them.

This world is so awe inspiring and so tragic if we aren't moved to tears at least once a day we aren't feeling life.

This is who we are, it’s not new, it’s just more visible.

The choice is yours. In a time when things are changing faster than ever before; which do you choose?  This choice will make the difference. This choice has the power to move you from fear to love, stuck to inspired, pain to joy, isolation to community, despair to hope, and from ordinary living to extraordinary living.

Which do you choose? 

I wish you love, inspiration, joy, community, hope and extraordinary living.
