here

new blue wall . the little room

the view from here:

 

  • a visit from a partner in crime and friend
  • one studio freshly painted (and truly found underneath all the stuff)
  • a carload or two of that stuff to goodwill
  • rediscovery of so many good things that fill my heart with joy
  • many moments of laughter so loud we almost woke the baby
  • juicy brainstorming for so much that is to come
  • nods of "yes, i get that. totally."
  • mug after mug of coffee
  • a moment in the quiet overwhelmed by kindness
  • a smoothie that looked like she added algae (like from a fish tank) [it was super good]
  • a very specific wish or two released into the universe
  • plans hatched (the midwest retreat is gonna be so good. like big. like oh this is the way life is gonna go now. hold on. it is gonna be awesome.)
  • another reminder that showing up as you is the way to find others who will see you
  • another reminder that it is through love (and letting ourselves be loved) that we heal

"showing up as you " this is great ! something I have newly learned but never too late - I am going to make a list like this - I love the view from ( there) and that color is the color of a room in my house ( was a bedroom now emptyawaiting my movingon movingout ) but still love the color...I want to move somewhere where everything is either painted yellow or pink ...still looking for my place to belong....

I am learning the last two. It still boggles my mind that they are true, but it is oh-so-wonderful.

(Ha. I had a similar algae-drink for lunch. ;)

So happy you had an awesome visit!
