with spiritual fluff, but truly sitting
in the midst of the suffering and
awakening to a new light. Crafting
a new story that inspires others to
do the same. Cool Creative Press’s
tag line is “Choosing Fierceness.”
It is this daily reminder that sparks
the spiritual bad ass within!
I’m a 30 something year old seeker
who is determined to make this
gorgeous life about serving others.
And if I have an unwillingness to
step into my grasping nature, how
can I sit with others when they
are grasping within the walls of
their hearts? Let me get out my
megaphone… “We are all in this
together!” I desire to stand in the
midst of my outdated beliefs so
that I can grow in new ways. How
about you? Can you muster even
an ounce of willingness? As my
dear teacher Yvonne shares, “Seek
to know something new about
yourself.” Aren’t you curious to re-
author an old tale?
It’s my experience that life
is continually offering us the
opportunity to see where it is that
we suffer. Not so that we can
judge and condone ourselves, but
rather so that we can create a bit
of space to see what we cling to.
The secret ingredient in this recipe
is compassion. There is treasured
wisdom in our capacity to foster
awareness and space. Space in the
body. Space in between breaths.
Space in between moments of
living.
In my life I acknowledge that I
have clung to people, situations,
happiness, results, etc. And I know
that throughout my journey of life
there is a propensity to ‘wake-up’
and ‘fall asleep’ each moment.
It’s a practice not a perfect. It’s
choosing our reactions.
It’s
noticing when we deviate and then
offering ourselves the grace to
‘recalculate’ as our GPS systems
so easily do.
How about you and your life?
As you breath in, can you feel your
stance towards life?
Can you shift your perspective to
notice that all is impermanent?
What are you currently fixated on?
How is grasping blocking the flow
of energy in your life?
Who are you when you are not
grasping?
When I am not grasping, I am a bad-
ass, empowered, inspired, creative,
author goddess lover waving her
wand and creating magic! And I
also might just be busting a move
to a good tune.
