Spent Christmas day with my fur babes. First ever Christmas without human family or friends. The anticipation was WAY worse than the actual event, but was still unnerving. Started out my day with a piece of sweet potato pie bc NO rules when you do Christmas alone. Missing everyone. You know who you are...CANNOT wait for 2018! Merry Christmas, everyone. #maynard #blackcat #pugandcat #pugsofinstagram #puglife #bluepotatoes #forthewin #christmas #growthperiod #2018 #muevate

The start of 2020 has been nothing like I expected. Instead of ushering in the new year with celebration and new year's resolutions I have been brought fully into the process of thinking about nothing other than healing my body. I have learned to think of sickness as the body's way of transforming. Sometimes as a way to release an old way of being and other times as a way of upgrading my physical and energetic systems. I have to overcome my old programming that tells me I should be doing instead of being. My body reining in my programmed belief that if I am not producing all the time I am somehow less valuable as a human being. Even my outside world this week mirrored these false beliefs so I could see them with clarity for the lies that they are. Oh, and here is my sick person smoothie! My grand accomplishment for the day! #sick #sickpersonsmoothie #programming #growthperiod #iamvaluable #upgradeinprocess #transformation #eatyourgreens #drinkyourgreens #spiritualasfuck #2020 #newyear (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B66mSiQHA9J/?igshid=djcmha0rn1v7

I've come a long way. The summer may seem such a long time ago. The summer may seem like it's a long way away. All I know is, I will always grow. Whatever the universe throws my way. Come rain, sunshine & snow. I am learning more everyday.

Life Struggles

A man found a cocoon of an emperor moth. He took it home so that he could watch the moth come out of the cocoon. On the day a small opening appeared, he sat and watched the moth for several hours as the moth struggled to force the body through that little hole.

Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther. It just seemed to be stuck.

Then the man, in his kindness, decided to help the moth, so he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The moth then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings.

The man continued to watch the moth because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! In fact, the little moth spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It was never able to fly.

What the man, in his kindness and haste did not understand, was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the moth to get through the tiny opening, was the way of forcing fluid from the body of the moth into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Freedom and flight would only come after the struggle. By depriving the moth of a struggle, he deprived the moth of it’s health and it’s freedom.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life.

Anyone can give up when times are tough. Seriously, the easiest thing in the world is to give up when things aren’t going according to plan.  …but to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you quit, well…that’s true strength.

One of my favorite quotes is from Elisabeth Kübler-Ross…

“The most beautiful people I’ve known are those who have known trials, have known struggles, have known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.”

So this moth, as beautiful as it is, had to go through some major struggle to get here today and allow us to see it in all it’s glory. 

Remember the Law of Rhythm as it states that everything is moving to and fro, flowing in and out, swinging backward and forward. There is a high and a low tide. Everything is flowing, both in and out, in accordance with this law.

So the next time you are going through a struggle, know that, “This to shall pass.”

When you are on a down swing, do not feel bad. Know the swing will change and things will get better.

emitte lucem et veritatem
