creating space for all of it

Earlier today, I experienced a moment that surprised me as it opened me up (how grief often arrives in the cloak of surprise). Even though I come to this space a bit dishevled and vulnerable, I felt really called to just show up as me and share about this moment in a video post.

Also, the "Nona" I mention in this video is Nona Jordan. A post about my experience working with her (including how she is inviting me to finally let go of some major shame around money) is coming soon.

If you would like to continue this conversation about creating space for grief and all of our experiences, consider joining me for Create Space, the ecourse that begins Monday. This is going to be a really intimate class that will give you the space to open your heart to joy, beauty, truth, love, and what is real in your life. As I gather up all that we will be exploring, I am so excited to share tools and stories that can be companions for you on your journey. Find out more about Create Space here.

I have always felt that we human beings are in a constant state of letting go and grieving. Grief is one of "those" words that no one ever wants to say or experience but being open to working though the emotions brought up by grief can be life changing. Proactive change, from what you talked about, the experience of deleting photos that were backed up, and for me, cleaning out closets, purging the crap that accumulates can trigger grief just as easily as losing or misplacing something. The little losses, I think, are practice for those bigger ones. We can give ourselves space and acknowledge the smaller losses, we build up those coping muscles and get our support systems in place for those losses that can take our breath away and bring us to our knees.

Thank you for your heartfelt, honest and so authentic message today.
