I was taking a bath and I "saw" this journal page in my mind and got out and made it.

It feels SO satisfying to see it outside of me.

The little bits of blue and pink that got mixed in with the white - I have no idea what that means but it feels so RIGHT to see it that way, and then put it on the page that way.

Not that it offers any answers.

But one of the things that I have found is more helpful as a coach is to encourage people to make more space for their questions. Get in there, sit with it, make it a cup of tea and really spend some time with it.

We all have a lot to hold right now! And we have more options than we think about HOW we choose to hold it all.

At first, we don't think we have a choice.

We do. But we usually have to sit with our feelings before we can find that place where we can choose how to respond.

And one thing that does come to mind is that Dream Book is a really good way of holding complex and multi-faceted processes, and doing a Dream Book for "surviving these times" could be very helpful!

I wrote this post before Trump started at trade war with Canada. I am Canadian and I've had a LOT of feelings since then and have been exploring this all a lot more deeply. And I'm still giving myself grace and space to be in the mess of it all.
