Lots of emotions have been coming up as I head off into this new direction. Old thoughts & feelings arising... a heaviness... a sadness... and then seeing the quick reaction to think “something is wrong with me.” Or the desire to want to “fix” something.

I’m realizing more & more on deeper levels how it’s not about being happy, joyful and excited all the time.

For me it’s been more about meeting ALL of what’s here in every moment no matter what is arising. Falling deeper into the sadness or heaviness and including it... feeling the beauty that is there in every emotion and experience. Seeing my resistant mind that wants to feel lighter... that wants to avoid pain and move towards pleasure... and then including & loving that too. Holding myself throughout all of the waves.

So yessssss I did stroll through one of the most beautiful cities... but what has been even more beautiful is the opportunity to let my tears fall onto to cobbled streets of Bordeaux while learning how to feel into these internal waves with greater openness, non judgment, compassion & self love. ❤️
