evolution, excavation.

Excavation happening here. Both literal and figurative.

Things are changing around here. I am changing. We are evolving, letting go, receiving more good. My mantra/affirmation/love note to myself lately has been “I am open to all joyful possibilities and I keep only what serves me well!”

Ahhh. It feels good to put that message out into the universe in this sacred space. That’s something else that has been changing, this space really is becoming more sacred to me. More of me, here, for you to see.  I am working on some new things that really light me up, that I’m so so excited about (head on over to the Bounty page for a sneak peek!) and there will be new photos to spruce up my entire web presence (thanks to the lovely and talented Thea Coughlin). Changing things up, outside and in.

Or home is getting cleared. We have so much here that does not serve us anymore, so much clutter; it all really needs to move on and go to new homes where it can serve someone else {If anyone’s interested in the library of a theatre major, zillions of plays and theatre books — get in touch! First come first serve, you pay shipping and it’s yours!}.

Inside, the inner work, it’s happening too. And it’s manifesting in the outward picture. In our actions, our day-to-day, our interactions. It’s really beautiful to see. John and I have been doing lots of relationship work (ok we’ll just say it’s not always rainbows-and-ponies-and-kittens over here, you know?) and it is making our home, our marriage, our parenting and our beings so much stronger. It’s really quite remarkable. The way we are communicating is so much more gentle and loving now that we’re working together toward a future that looks so-bright-you-have-to-wear-shades! {ok maybe that’s just my interpretation, but there is a lot of HOPE where once there was some despair and pain}

Evolving. It feels so good.

How are we doing this? With the help of a therapist for me, a couples counsellor for us, and some business coaches and inspiration for my career/business/life, plus a new job offer that catalyzed some changes for him, and plans for the fall for the wee one to be in school/daycare FIVE DAYS A WEEK. Whew. It’s all changing but for the first time in my life the change all feels manageable and strategic in a way it’s never felt. I feel much more in-the-driver’s-seat, when for the first time I’m also allowing things to flow and change before me, and not being too attached to the outcome.

Gorgeous. Today life is gorgeous. That is not to say that there aren’t bumps in the road. Boy this road to Bliss really is so full of potholes, isn’t it? But that’s all part of the journey. I feel much more equipped to deal with those ups and downs these days. I’m coming at it from a place of high intention (i.e. knowing what I want/where we want to go/be/do/have) and low attachment. It’s really quite amazing. And things are coming of it that I never really thought possible; the main thing I’d say is the inner happiness I’m feeling. In case you were wondering, it’s totally possible for you, too. The work is sometimes hard and painful and you find old wounds and new hardships and it’s all a bit yucky at first, really exposing the old stuff. But then you’re allowed to move on. Able to allow in more good, having room for more good and more evolution and more YOU once you’re not holding onto all that old, yucky stuff.

And it’s so so worth it.
