Open thank you note
Dear friends & family,
This weeks blog is a bit different, instead of a theme which
I will use for my yoga class, it is an open thank you note. I had seriously an
amazing, beautiful birthday! I am so grateful for each of you whether you are
here in SB, home in Michigan, or across the world… I am so grateful!
Some of the main points on my birth chart are:
Sun sign: cancer
Moon: Scorpio
Rising: Leo
Lesson: I am emotional
and birthdays bring up a lot from the past and usually induce anxiety. As I
felt a twinge of anxiety creep over me a couple of days prior, I embraced it.
Instead of feeding the fear, I loved it up!
I decided to trust in the universe and my good friends in Santa Barbara
rather than running away/ hiding. How amazing the transformation proved to be!
It was the most fun I have had as an adult; the best birthday I have had since
before my mom died!
My morning was simple, normal and included yoga, meditation,
prayer, and of course… good coffee! I had lunch with some girlfriends and then
we went to the park and painted in the sun for a couple of hours. We ended up
covered in paint, glitter, sand, and sun burn. I wanted this birthday to be a
celebration of creativity, community, and connection. I invited my friends to join me on this
authentic journey and to embrace their creative side… and it was magical!
Later on, we met up
with more friends at a different beach where we formed a Goddess circle with a
beautiful candle lit in the middle.
Each woman went around and shared who they are, how they are
connected to me, and what their passion/ career is… each person shared their
fear or something that they wanted to release. We wrote our fears on a stone
(collected at the beach earlier in the day) and then we lined-up at the shore.
We collectively cast our fears, anxieties, and challenges into the sea. We sealed
this scacred bond with the circle and with the mother earth. I personally cast
away the feeling of “unworthiness” and to further commit to this new year of
life, I swam into eh ocean. Being an unsalted, Michigan / Great lakes girl this
is always a fear of mine. I gave up not only that fear, the feeling of
unworthiness, but also a new bracelet to the sea. This is a quick lesson of
letting go… of surrender because there is nothing else that I can do.
The evening concluded with a huge, organic, homemade dinner
at another’s friend’s home. It was delicious, perfect, and so loving! I truly
felt so loved and so worthy of my amazing friends!
I am so happy to walk with each of you on this journey and would
do anything for you. I am always here to support and love you up, whenever you
need it. I am grateful for each of you and you all have a special place in my
heart.
That evening, I felt a shift inside of myself as I embrace
my authentic, creative, loving spirit. Thank you for being part of the shift, I
love you! I look forward to bright days ahead with each of you…. Painting,
sculpting, making jewelry, playing at the beach, swimming, practicing yoga, and
supporting each other. Create, celebrate, connect!
Namaste,
Dr. E
