Preparing for the journey

As I sit here and take this quick post down, I sip my soy chai with delight while listening to my iPod spits out a slew of tunes. I took an amazing 30 minutes class with Elena Bower on YogaGlo this morning, which opened my heart and warmed my body for the day. Now at work, my mind is clear and my body is grounded to complete any last minute task before my journey to the east coast for the holidays. I will leave work early to run some errands with ease, and then pack my bags with flow and excitement. I look forward to seeing family and the snow! Sharing everything that Joe and I are doing and creating together. Have a Happy Holidays everyone, and a prosperous New Year! ox

Hand/Face Study post

Check out my most recent post in my movement blog HERE! I'm allowing the creative juices to flow and I don't want it to stop. We'll see what comes tomorrow. Maybe a video! In this particular post, I'm exploring hand contact, gestures and facial expressions. It's something I always use in my performance and movement art. Hope you enjoy!

(REALLY!) Receiving what the Universe provides

I can't believe just in the past 3 months, 3 weeks, 3 days what's unfolded. I have to thank and bow to my supportive and loving community for their positive vibes, but also to the Universe. Although, there are times when I want to tell it, "Fuck You!", I still end up thanking it.

Why is it when we ask for things and/or certain people or relationships, that when it actually is presented, we may want to run the other way? "Be careful what you ask for" is a saying I've heard ALL my life and I used to connect it ONLY to the negative things that happened to me. But actually they weren't really negative, they just felt unpleasant at the time. When I look back, I can still say how unpleasant it was, but also ask, what did I learn from it?

As I have been asking for certain things throughout the past three months, it's been a trip to find myself awe-struck, amazed, and, even, aggravated. I say, aggravated, because it's the stirring of the pot that causes that feeling. But when I'm present and just feel it, I realize that this is EXACTLY what I've been asking for and it's been given to me, so why not just play? Why not go for the "ride"?

Now, I can ask, do I want this?

What I've been enjoying about this experience is the power of CHOICE.

I've been playing with choice in a way I never have.

I feel the freedom of saying "yes" or "no" in such a powerful way that once the choice has been made, I can move on.

I feel happy and peaceful with it.

I'm not attached.....
