From my my creative practice this morning:

Feeling your feelings is an alchemical process. Let it change you.

I wasn't having a lot of feelings at the time, it just came to mind.

And being in the magic of making, it felt so right to write it out...

And then later in the day when I had uncomfortable feelings, I hated this advice. I felt kind of betrayed that this was what I had created today, lol.

It's come up on our last few group calls that a lot of us are feeling... off.

Are we sick? Stressed? Overwhelmed? It's hard to know.

I'm limiting my news like never before, and even still the little bits that get to me have me in tears some days.

And as much as I hate it, and as much as none of us know how to navigate these times...  I do know for sure is that NOT feeling our feelings doesn't lead anywhere good.

The process of divorce has shown me more than anything else ever has, the alchemical power of feeling our feelings.

And when I use the word alchemy, I ALWAYS mean that the process of transformation brings us closer to ourselves. It's not some random thing.

So I am trying to trust that this isn't different - in that regard. The feelings are uncomfortable, the situation is unwelcome... and this is my life. And all life is sacred. So I will feel it and be with it and keep figuring out how to show up for what feels true to me.
