I feel like I have been in a state of transition for about 4 years now, so long in fact I hardly remember the girl I was before or a time when I didn’t feel like I was in the midst of metamorphosis. You delight and inspire me. Your fearless acknowledgement of who you are and where you are at makes my heart sing. I wish you all the best during this time in your life. I hope that the shift bring you closer to where you want to be and that no matter what happens, you keep on dancing.

I sit here and think "i wish i had the luxury of being scared and dancing, but I have to play it safe" and then I realize that I'm scared no matter what, so what the hell, turn up the music! There's a Chinese proverb that says "We are fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance." my best advice lately came in an email from my incredibly loving acupuncturist when he said, regarding fear "then i sit.... then i breathe..... and it goes a way, a bit quicker, a bit sooner....it returns a bit later, and it returns with less force...." Thanks once more, beautiful mermaid, for your words, your vulnerablilty and your incredible spirit. Blessings to you! …thinking, and thinking, and thinking about what you have said here…an odd time for me…so scared on so many levels. even giving up my old comfort in a wine glass because I feel it’s a crucial time for me to be very, very clear.

Since catching up with your blog last week the way I've thought about some things has shifted and I'm sure this one will effect me also, once I've had a few days for it to sink in. I've always been one who has loved change and I push for it too, but right now (stuck in unemployment *sigh*) I am starting to look toward what I can do with this time I now find myself with... I like how you end by saying that your life has turned out, in essence, better than you could have imagined :) Wishing you well as always. x e.
