Hellooooo beautiful!
How are you? I'm doing well...and so so excited that tomorrow marks the first day of my 4 week creative journaling class! For me, it's always a journey to feel "prepared" for an event like this, and continues to keep me growing.
I am so humbled that we again have a FULL class, with an abundance of brave women who are ready to roll up their sleeves and dig into healing and creativity. I am trusting that each and every precious lady who will be with me tomorrow night, will be touched by the energy, love, and light that Debbie & I are wanting to share.
Every time I do something like this, I can't help but to reflect upon all the conversations, hours, energy, ideas, hopes, dreams, and intentions that have occurred behind the scenes to CREATE this experience. It is seriously so magical to see something that was once just a tiny seed blossom into something so tangible and "real".
I know that right now, there are probably things in your own life that you might be dreaming of doing, that may feel like a big stretch to you. Something that you hold in your heart, which makes you think, "Someday, I AM going to...". That dream, hope, or intention that is like a distant star, which only shines its light upon you when you are brave enough to allow yourself to acknowledge it and get close to it. Do you know that feeling I'm writing about? The overwhelming feeling you get when you allow yourself to go "there" and your heart becomes aglow as you think of the possibility of achieving or creating the very THING that beckons you, that feels so big and oh-so-important to you, and that never truly goes away. That tiny idea or huge hope that acts as your very own North Star, forever pointing you further into the direction of your dreams.
All too often when it happens and we get that feeling or the divine reminder of our biggest dreams, our minds begin to sink into a deep abyss of fear, coming up with all kinds of reasons why we might not be good enough, smart enough, talented enough, or qualified enough to pull off our next greatest thing. It's often scary to stake claim, admit, or give voice to our dreams...because by doing so, it makes us accountable to them.
I share this with you, only because I want you to know that everything that I have ever accomplished in my life that I am super proud of, at one time felt "too big" for me to ever tackle. From having a baby so young, to earning a college degree, to building a strong business centered upon my spiritual work, to buying the dream house where I now live, to building, writing, designing, and maintaining this blog, to facilitating an ART therapy class with an artist that I deeply adore...
ALL of those things at one time in my life felt way out of my reach...and almost impossible to achieve at one point or another.
BUT...
with tenacity, spirit, strength, and a whole lotta faith,
I did it.
And so can you.
Together, we can remind each other that the tiny seeds of dreams that live in our hearts, can someday make, manifest, and be the ultimate expressions of love, of spirit, and our creative connection.
I am already so proud of you. For acknowledging that the dream is there. Often, that's the hardest part. Just admitting to ourselves what we really, really, really want.
On this full moon and beautiful eve of me giving birth to yet another one of my "creative dreams", I send you the message that it's okay to be scared, to feel vulnerable, or to question or doubt. That is all a part of the process. If we didn't feel all of those things, the actual manifestation of your hopes and dreams wouldn't be as exciting or sweet!
As always, thank you for reading my humble little blog, and for supporting me as I continue to explore the other seeds of dreams that still swirl in and around me.
I am so blessed to have you on this journey with me.
See you in our sacred circle,
Ps. Even though the class is now full, we do have a waiting list for the next Spring session...
