FLOW....

My word this year is... FLOW! Yes - flow with an exclamation mark! I have spent most of my life resisting what is and not allowing for fear of the unknown. But this past year working in an art journal has really helped me walk into the unknown a little more willing and a little less resistant. So that is why I picked the word flow. I want the unknown to flow freely in and out of my life. I want "all" to pass through my life with our judgment or labels and just let it be and - F....L....O....W.................................................

The River...

“When we stop resisting what we don’t want to feel and embrace the state that we are in, we move through whatever it is SO much faster and find our way back to truth and clarity.”

—Michael Eisen

It feels good when I can be aware of my resistance and just "let it happen."  It does pass much faster and the truth and clarity come quicker. Most of my life I thought if I only held on long enough and was angry enough (because being vulnerable only left you open to the unknown) that somehow I could keep life in control and safe. Little did I know when you open up and let go - stop resisting- the river of life flows much easier.
