The Fresh Start…

IMG_6362IMG_6359

-I collected feathers at the ocean the other day to remind me of what has been SHED.

-What has been GAINED.

The breeze blows the warm sort of breeze that makes me think of childhood tree climbing.

Of books read under cloudy skies.

Of walking for hours, the sky turning from daylight to dusk.

Everything that was dead or dormant, is now bursting forth with life.

The cycle is beginning again.

Everything is in birth mode.

The barren trees baring leaves.

The empty nests full of eggs.

The fresh start.

Everything is high.

Rebirth

“Sometimes we go about life thinking that we’re living the love story…

And then something dies, something so hard to let go of, something necessary, and perhaps painful to release.

Maybe an idea of how things are supposed to be.

But part of the Great Mystery is learning to love the unknown.

It’s THEN that the love story can really begin, and the magic can unfold, the fragmented bits begin to make sense and form the real story.

This Easter week I am wishing you the wisdom to sacrifice what is seeking release and experience a rebirth.

Step into your true love story.

You know what to do.

All you need is Love.”

-My last package from the amazing Lindsay Luna and Agony of Leaves Membership.

It was an amazing few months of the most lovely packaged goods.

Scrumptious tea’s, handmade soaps, lip balms and beautiful gems.

Every time I sat to photograph this tea, drink this tea I felt ease rush into my body.

I felt a little more home.

It has been part of my journey towards loving this body a little more.

A little more.

And a little more.

With each package,

Each sip I marinated in that feeling.

The feeling of REBIRTH.

Like I can do anything…

I got up early.

Early enough to see the last bit of golden shine kiss the tree’s edges.

Early enough to hear the hum and chatter of birds communicating.

Their little bodies still silhouetted on the branches.

Everything is still.

No bush or blade of green shiver.

Just peace.

Wafting… Rolling… Peace…

It makes me want to eat blackberries while bathing in sunshine.

Or walk wild flower fields with Katariina.

It makes me want to camp among boulders and builds fires with my love.

It makes me feel at home.

This stillness.

Like I can do ANYthing.

Like I was made FOR that anything.

Breakfast with my love.

“I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength,

who does not doubt my courage or my toughness,

who does not believe me naive or innocent,

who has the courage to treat me like a woman.”
