Good morning, everyone!!!
Whew, what a weekend. It started off with having the grandchildren over for a sleepover Friday night and ended with clearing the flow so to speak.
The grandchildren and I had a good time Friday night into Saturday morning. We laughed and watched movies and hung out. I do enjoy hanging with the little people of our family.
Then Saturday evening a dear friend of mine came over and we headed out to Chesterfield for the evening services. Very moving and very enlightening to say the least. I've been dealing with some of my own inner demons as of late and also trying to combat some negativity that has been trying to leak into my world. When this happens, I feel pinned down because I try very hard to keep negativity at bay.
She and I discussed this at length. She helped me to see some solutions to the problems and last night I began to incorporate those into my life. I guess you could say I retook charge of things and have no issue throwing the negative out the door :)
It is a beautiful thing when you know you can take charge of yourself and let things go that do not have a place in your world.
I've been feeling like things have been coming at me from all sides and hindering my progress in the areas of life I wish to see moving forward. This gives me a sense of drowning in my emotional world. I'm just glad it happened now when the weather is beginning to break because at least from time to time I can get outside and absorb the beautiful energy of nature.
Which brings me to my next topic LOL.
Yesterday morning my sister texted and asked if I wanted to go for an adventure walk. Well of course I did. I needed a refreshing walk in nature after such an enlightening aspect into my soul. So we got together and headed to the woods once again.
As we walked along the creek bed that flows through the woods, we decided we would clear the debris from the creek that was hindering its flow. Doing such is very symbolic for me, just like a deep clean on my house. It all has spiritual qualities that allow you to do something on both the physical plain and the spiritual one.
For three hours we worked in the creek. We moved small items, such as leaves, twigs, and nuts. Symbolically, these things are the small worries in life. As you remove the physical you can feel the small things in life that are weighing you down, lift and flow away.
We then found bigger things such as large logs and yes, even a huge tree stump that took both of us to move. The symbolism here is sometimes we need to discuss the bigger problems in life to see them more clearly. We may need a little helping hand to get the flow started again.
By the time our walk in the woods was finished we were both a good kind of exhausted. We had laughed so hard, we were soaking wet, and looked disheveled but we had accomplished a great deal. For me it accomplished a great deal more than just getting the water flowing in that creek, it got the juices of me flowing in a manner they needed to be reminded they could flow.
I came home, took charge of one aspect of life that had really put me over the edge. I met with my board online. We discussed a few aspects of the chapter that have been getting me down. We put a plan together and will be executing this plan over the course of this week. We discussed my thoughts on the intrusive negativity trying to enter our realm. How this makes me defensive and less tolerant. We also discussed the fact I am not buying into the bullshit explanations and how we will handle such ordeals together as a board. If people are down on themselves, they should not try to bring others down but allow the flow of those around them help them to get back on track.
This is why we began the chapter we have now. To have a writing home where we can be who we are, who we wish to be, and move forward in our writing careers. Not get caught up in unnecessary drama that has been trying to leak into our world the last several months. So out with the bullshit and in with the refreshed renewal of who we started off to be. Nothing less will be tolerated.
Well that's it for me this morning. It is time to begin my next nine day stretch. I will face this day with a refreshed sense of who I am.
Everyone have a lovely day!!!
Blessings to all!!!
