This opportunity to go away for a few days came up very suddenly this weekend. It's right when the weather turned cool and I was so excited to bake and cook. I roasted veggies to make soup and even made fresh bread to eat with it (and timed it so I had it rising in the car on the way there to bake when we got there).
It felt SO GOOD to be preparing to go away and just... retreat. Roasting squash has never been this exciting before, lol!
I have needed this.
Three days AWAY from everything in an idyllic spot that reminds me that the whole world is a miracle.
The way that shifts my perspective.
A chance to take a breath and re-group.
I started hormone replacement therapy and have had a few complications but mostly... my brain and body are starting to work like they used to.
Creative energy is stirring.
All these things I've been dreaming of... it feels like time to begin.
But like... where do I start?
Taking a step back is a good place to start.
It's a log cabin in the woods overlooking a lake. (It's a 6 minute walk down to the dock)
With a screened in hot tub!
It's a 15 minute walk over to a cafe with wifi so I can come check in but mostly I am relaxing and journaling.
I've been writing and dreaming.
Getting more clear on what I want next.
Feeling like I am filling the well with magic.
It's such a miracle to be here it feels like I manifested it.
I didn't have to pay for this trip.
The timing was PERFECT as I didn't have any calls booked, and we'll be back a few hours before the next Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership call.
But a few people from the group who had originally booked it couldn't make it and that really sucks! They were glad someone could go at the last minute who would appreciate it, but obviously it would have been better if they could have had their trip.
So, holding space for how that sucks. How this is such a gift it is to me and it came at a cost to someone else. In the manifesting community I was a part of in the past, they would have said that those people have "stinking thinking" and I am more positive so I deserve it and they don't and this is why the universe gave it to me. I think that's such a shitty shaming judgy way to look at it. We can hold the complexities of how happy I am to be here and how much it sucks that they couldn't come. And how systemic forms of privilege and oppression are usually at the crux of what makes one person more available for the magic than other, and then use that awareness to help level the playing field because we all deserve everything.
(At the same time, energies have been shifting, not just for me. I'm seeing so many good people manifest so many good things. Project Miracle is an epic manifesting program that has been bringing in epic things for people over the last few months. Membership members, get it here. Everyone else, get it here)
