As some of you may know, I had my birthday this past Sunday.
Leading up to it came those old familiar thoughts about whether i was "where i should be", whether or not i was "successful". I allowed them to pass like clouds yet elements of them lingered still.
My mother always says the best thing for emotion is motion and following this advice I have been on the move so to speak a great deal lately.
This dance of alternating meditation and outright exertion came to a close on Saturday. Greeting the last sunset and the first full moon of a new chapter in my life within the magical mountains of Malibu, I was received with so much love by people I hardly knew... from this life anyway.
My time there began with a dance party on a bus at dusk and closed with a sunrise vigil in the company of three powerful women breathing in the warm light of morning, it was an honor to know stillness in their company.
One of these angels specifically said something that keeps coming back to me, something i'd like to share with you all.
"success is just when reality catches up to your imagination"
On our walk back to camp, while eating fresh picked kumquats, occasionally stopping to pet the horses around the property this thought expanded a million fold. Imagining so much for us all, the possibilities are literally infinite.
I remembered how only a week earlier i'd imagined spending my birthday with a campfire, music, beautiful souls in a community setting and healing convo's and interactions abound. I had no clue how that would happen but the conjured energy felt amazing when i thought about it and so i let it.
Success is just when reality catches up to our imagination, it feels good to be successful and it's about damn time. :)
Imagining Love,
