One thing I hope I am doing by posting here every day is to be an example of: you don't have to feel ready, you don' have to be grounded, you don't have to feel capable, you can be a mess, etc, etc, etc - AND STILL SHOW UP... and even in the mess, still have enough things go well that you get to your dream.
I am starting to feel REALLY GOOD. The epic self care I have been practicing is starting to do what I had hoped it would do. The HRT is doing what I hoped it would do. I feel like I am back on solid ground, feeling powerful and creative and present and GROUNDED.
Which is making me more aware of how UNGROUNDED I have been.
BUT/AND
We are ALL under a lot of stress right now, given the state of the world. (I mean even people who are chosen to not read news at all because it's too stressful, the body knows that the state of the world is SO STRESSFUL that you can't stand to know what is actually happening)
Good thing our dreams don't need us to have it together.
I am sitting here with my Dream Book. Drinking an iced lavender latte with the twinkle lights on as the sun is not up yet. (Since iced coffees bring me so much joy in the summer I decided to keep it going through winter this year, lol)
My dream wants me to remember that all the things I am doing well, and not focus on how much of the time I feel like a mess.
My dream wants to me to be proud of myself that I keep showing up.
Creative Dreaming no longer feels like "me living my best life"
It feels like the way we fight for our future, for everyone.
Our dreams matter. Our humanity matters. Our creativity matters. Life is sacred. WE KEEP SHOWING UP.
I am working on two things:
Goodbye 2024 Hello 2025: Guided journal, Goodbye 2024 Releasing Ceremony (Dec 13) + Hello 2025 Blessing Ceremony (Jan 17). All three are happening in the membership, but you can also get the journal on its own.
Creating a right-fit transformative/healing year-long creative/spiritual project: Maybe that's the title, maybe I will find an easier title as I work with it 🤣 but I am doing a year-long project with HOPE for 2025 and as I sort through HOW I want to do this, I am creating a workbook to share the process.
It will be VERY customizable - if a year isn't the right-fit time for you, you just change that. 30 days, 100 days, a season - whatever time frame works for you is perfect. The goal is to set it up in such a way that it supports you in getting what you want from your project.
My project for 2025 will be the YEAR OF HOPE. And I'll be sharing that regularly on my blog and I feel like it could turn into some other things - journals or healing circles (hope circles?) - I feel like practicing hope can teach us all a lot right now.
