Do You Feel the Quickening? Plus NJ workshop
Hiya Riotous Rainbows!
Do you feel that quickening of life beneath the surface? Even though we can't see it, deep in her roots, the earth is alive with spring. So are you. Ready to bust a move and break the crusty surface, too? Are you willing to let go and let loose? Fear has plenty of reasons why we shouldn't - there are so many times we've embarrassed ourselves and things didn’t work out the way we'd dreamed. Why would they now? Fear is as addictive as potato chips. And her heavy armor (worry, doubt, anger, blame, control, powerlessness, negativity etc) will tell us to "be realistic" in order to save us from one more face plant.
“Realism is nothing more than a socially acceptable form of pessimism. The people with the most consistent track records of success don’t think in terms of what is.
They think in terms of what could be”
- Tim Johnson
Growing up, Fear told me that I needed protection - my dwarfed body was weak, not good enough, a target at the mercy of unfair circumstances. I put away those cray-cray dreams of feeling free and on fire. I stayed hidden. For my own "good."
I wasn't 'saved' by staying safe, though, I felt stuck. Held hostage. The longer I listened to the BS, and ignored my own truth, the less energized I felt.? The less faith I had in the strength of my spirit.
Step away from that cool-aide.
Plug back into your power Source. Fill your tank. Be open to new horizons. What brings you peace? Music? Nature? Reading? Yoga? Animals? Creativity? Doodling? Dancing? A bath by candlelight? A spangly tiara? ✨ Pay attention to what light's you up. ☀️And then go do it (or stop doing what feels heavy and dark...)
Peace and joy is wifi for the soul. And vice-versa. The more we align with our own truth (fun, frolic and sequins) the less any outer disturbances can run us off the rails. We have the power to stay at peace no matter what’s happening around us. Easier said than done, but daily practice makes progress. What small joy will you dive into today?
Practice peace this week. Let it be in the way you walk. Let it be your cha-cha partner. And then those dreams, goals and scary dance steps, will pull you toward the inevitable changes. From the inside out - hope opens doors. It softens the fear and bedazzles your inner vision.

If you know anyone in the tri-state area who might be interested in my workshop, will you forward this post to them? Thank you for helping me spread the word! (Autocorrect wrote "try-state" lol. That's the East coast mentality alright - try try try! Type A's can be very trying.) ?
Breathe in the peace.
Laughter.
And new beginnings....
with lotsa love,
