All around us Mother Earth is growing, creating, blossoming…..
The last few weeks have been very nice for me. I have been truly enjoying the outside, being in nature and melting in the blessed warm sun!
Feelings of childhood have stirred deep within my being and I feel giddy and happy- like there are endless possibilities. This feeling has been absent for me for quite some time.
This year, emerging through the darkness has been painful. It was necessary pain, I can see that now, as it forced me to grow in ways that I did not see myself growing before. I had to really look deeply inside of myself and decide what I want, not just what I don’t want from my life, my family, my calling.
Over spring break I took several nature trips, and some shopping for cute jeans, too, but the nature made me feel so alive. I also attended an “April Foolish Drum Circle” that called to my inner child, waking her from a very long slumber…. she popped out and giggled with silliness– our drum leader asked us to invoke our most fun adventures; to feel them, conjure them when we needed fun in our life… this was an amazing experience for me.
The part I found a bit sad was that it took me so long to recall a fun time in my life. Most recently it has been so serious, strategic, and some times a down right pain in the ass to be me. Deeper, deeper I went, until I conjured the memory of my sis and my friend sitting around our campfire, laughing so hard we were sure we’d pee our pants, giggling and snorting, yes, even cackling! The endorphins of happiness began to bloom within me.
Deeper I went to the adventures I had as a kid. I was truly lucky to grow up in West Marin. The hilly forests were enchanting to me and I would wander for hours through ferns, bay trees, and precious little forget-me-nots. I recalled the smell of the damp and dark earth of the woods. I recalled the springs and the brook that ran behind our property. It was such a magical place for me. It was a place where I was Queen of the fairies, I was the good Witch of the forest, and I was the Alchemist creating potions from several weeds and water from the garden hose.
I realize now, that I have put in a lot of hard work, it is time for recess, a vacation, to embrace splendor, and to frankly, just lighten up! Time to create!
I hope you too, dear reader, will join me as I go out to play for awhile. I will hike some hills, smell some flowers, take in all of Spring’s majestic grace. Enjoy the longer days and the smell of fresh cut grass.
Time to manifest fun! Time to manifest abundance! Time to manifest even better health! And always, always manifest LOVE!
Blessings Dear Ones! Blessings!
