Today I write to express my gratitude for the astonishing abundance in my life. I have just arrived back in my home territory from a cross-country road trip that took me from the northwest corner of the U.S. to New York City and back again. I covered over 11,000 miles in four and a half months, driving myself along a winding path of self-discovery while engaging with inspiring and aspiring humans who value the practice of peace through self-awareness. I received so much kindness, generosity and blessing from you dear souls along this journey that I find myself firmly anchored in a renewed commitment from the infusion of these gifts into my life.
As I think and write in this moment of the scope of change you have all helped me move through, tears swell, spill and cloud my vision of the laptop screen. I have received so much in these months. I am filled with the enormity of life’s potential beauty and expansiveness. I want to express this full fill-ment, spread it around, share it, pay it forward. I want each of you, including those who supported me as I launched and re-entered, to know how you have contributed to my wellbeing and to my evolution as a human. I write this, my first blog piece, with each of you in my hearts – with the tear-infused whisper of “thank you” on my lips.
Those of you who know me well recognize me as an intensely private person. I have had tremendous chronic resistance to placing my inner thoughts and outer experiences in a blog for the world to see. Yet this is necessary to build a bridge of connection with individuals who might benefit from hearing more about the Emote support process and what it can bring into their lives. I have been skating on the edge of going public for a long time now. It scares the living daylights out of me to publish my words, for reasons a few of you know. (I’ll be writing about that some day in this forum.) I needed a profound and solid shove to push myself out into the public arena. I discovered that I had to get in my car, separate from most everything familiar and comforting in my life, and create a journey of embracing my fears to transform them into helpful companions.
I DID IT! And I honor each of you for your part in supporting me in this adventure. I begin my dance with words officially on this day, by sending each of you my heartfelt thanks for touching my life with your beauty and your gracious sharing with me. I celebrate the abundance of love in this world. You have each contributed to me through sharing yourselves, and I dedicate myself this day to spinning it back full circle – together we create new possibilities and limitless love.
