Happy Hearts

Today we gather in my office at 2424 East Main Street, Plainfield instead of the country log lodge. This yellow building with the white picket fence has purple, red, and pink hearts scattered on the front window. They are covered with white sparkles and I hope their intention of love reaches you and the people that drive by this week. I have had so much fun making those hearts and feeling where to glue some together and where to leave some on their own. Louie helped me with the sparkles and with his 2 year old hands, many wound up on the carpet instead of on the hearts. I will vacuum in time but for now I'm relishing the little diamond-like bits that glisten on my living room floor. Life has been showing me so much love and faces with smiles and little miracles that lighten up the path. Despite all of the sweetness though, my mind is meandering through a thousand avenues today - some lovely and light and some not so much.

In truth if I was to take you on a meandering of my mind today, it would be a wild ride. It's not that I think you couldn't handle it - you could. This is more about Dane and the words that I'm willing to share over this technological highway. There is so much power in words and like some of the hearts, I need to do this meandering alone. It feels too vulnerable to send out what I'm feeling to so many. Perhaps I will share more in the small gathering of women tomorrow after I take a Dane Day to feel the ups and downs and all arounds. If you are feeling like me this week, know that when we enter into what is up it always comes out sparkly clean on the other side.

The pattern running through our circle right now is what to cleanse and how to cleanse it. Cleansing is good and important. We need to enter what is in need of cleansing and feel the rhythm of what is there. My hope is that you are more focused on what is going to be when the cleansing is complete though instead of solely focused on the yuck that is on its way out. Keep your vision alive in your mind and in your heart as you enter the place of discontent. If you are willing to feel, really feel the emotions, you will be delivered on the other side with hearts in your eyes and a lightness in your step. I'm here to help. It's typical for me to go through things, and as part of my process, to learn how to help you through a similar situation with ease and grace. I imagine that is part of what today is about.

I hope you can feel the love that I have placed here in this space for you. I do my best to light it up with love and compassion and support everyday. I hope you find your way here soon so we can share in the way that only face to face can get to. In the meantime, I invite you to be present for the rhythm of your life going where it wants and needs to go.
