Good grief

I’ve sat with grief long enough in life to know it’s the cavernous echos of love.

In those deep hollowed spaces lurk panic and fear.

Still. Be still with it. Breathe while the silence rings in your ears. When the ache resonates in your chest.

Be still with it. Let it take you…at least some of the time…let it take you under.

Into the dark side of love…the loss.

What do you see? Your darkness, doubt and light.

What do you feel? The ache where love once danced for joy.

What do you know? That life, whether we want it to or not, does go on.

It’s a cruel truth, the harsh reality. But, also the quiet reassurance found in the promise of the rainbow, the return of sunshine after the storm.

The peace that trickles into the pain after a good cry.

A chuckle or smile that slips through with a memory.

Life is a cycle — inherently paired with endings…

birth, growth, death, renewal.

So, I sit with my grief. Rage at it. Speak to it. Hold its hand even as it pulls me apart from my loved ones…even from myself.

I breathe with it riding my shoulders. Flooding my mind. Creeping in on my laughter.

I allow it. I make space at the table of life for death…grief and all its guests.

Why? Because it knocks on all our doors, floods our hearts, upends our lives like an uninvited houseguest that even if asked will not leave.

It is. Like love just IS.

We cannot hide long from love or loss. Both finds us. Break us open.

Whether that fissure drains us dry or reveals something new is really up to us.

The hope is a good death. A good life and good grief.

Can you make space for this?

I don't want to hustle

I don’t want to hustle. I want to ALIGN with my passion to live my purpose in prosperity: health, love, joy, money. 
​
And, I’m looking for other quirky souls to join me in creating a community where we value your uniqueness even as we recognize we are all One. 

Heart-led leaders who know personal sovereignty includes body, mind, spirit & energy (yes, $$$ is also energy)… LIFE!

Where work feels like synchronistic & energizing Service (to Self, Source & others)…

A quantum space where passion intermingles with play & YOU get to decide what prosperity & freedom mean to YOU.

Where our individual skills & abilities form a synergistic force of change.

Together, we not only Rise, we raise the frequencies & vibrations of all we encounter.
