So True

One of my Postsecret favorites

Grand Opening

This is my grand opening. Like all grand openings, this may be the big entrance while in truth the conception and process started long ago. This is the next step on my search for clarity, profundity, joy, and creativity. This is my quest for purpose and peace. This is my place to express my confusion and my gratitude. My lair to breathe…to think through…to offer out into the world for community….It is the sweet patience of new white page. And the promise of self-care, self awareness, and self realization…. I walked across the threshold into womanhood this summer. While I tinkered with being a woman for the last decade, I now stand diploma in hand seeking purpose and direction. There has always been this sense of testing the water in safety of familial support or second chances….”XYZ is like a streetcar, you miss one another is certain to come around”. But I find that concept feels shaky now. Now is the time to move wisely and swiftly in rebellion toward self. To stand in embodiment of the old adage, ”you can’t help anyone if you can’t take care of yourself”. I want to practice that. Perhaps like many people practicing yoga everyday. My new practice is reverence, compassion, and conservation of this creature I am. I am sure that there will be mornings that I oversleep or choose other priorities…but hopefully I will return like a loyal beast to the glowing (no matter how quietly) embers of my own spirit.
