When I feel like that my husband tells me often…”he wish I could see myself through his eyes…”
I wish you could see yourself through (just) my eyes…or anybody else admiring you….wishing they could be YOUR friend….trying to be like you…hoping! to be as creative…or to have anysort of connection with you…
Be gentle with yourself…and embrace this moment…

Floating with your feet firmly on the ground – listening to beautiful music in silence. You have found such beautiful metaphors for the almost uncommunicable deep breath moment. x

Can I come hold your hand for a moment and gaze into your face and thank you:)
There is a familiarity I feel and probably convey in my comments. Through talks with Denise and reading your blog I feel a connection to your wisdom that seems to come from living your truth.
Time and time again I come here and your words feel like someone wiser was writing out my thoughts or what I was going through but from a higher place of understanding and experience. This is very dear to my heart. And it amazes me that someone I have never met and do not know can help me to understand myself better. That your words sit with me sometimes through the day or week. I feel a bit flakey and strange writing all this to you, but I know you will be seeing my buddies this weekend and somehow the connection to them and them to you and this resonance I feel here has made me risk sounding foolish.
You are one cool chick. So much of your reflections resonate with me. Your writing is wise and sits comfortably in a tender part of my artistic soul.
Thanks for sharing.
Give the girls lots of squeezes for me this weekend. I know it will be so fun!

There is something unnameable that I love about the calm space between asking the question and hearing an answer. Sometimes thoughts or other people rush in to fill that space, but on those occasions when there is just quiet and some space, the answer comes later, like a whisper, when I’ve maybe even forgotten that I asked the question. I then, can feel the question and then the answer brush past me, like a melody, like a soft wing. And sometimes I am just anxious waiting for the answer, I like the calm spaces much better.
