I made this collage this past January. I found the quote from a Yoga Journal magazine. It reads, "Through our willingness to experience and share our vulnerability, we discover a shared and compassionate awareness that is spacious enough to hold the imperfections of all humans."There is a lot of transition going on in my life, and much of what is reflected in this collage is starting to manifest in so many ways for me. I'm leaving a job I've held on to for over 8 years to spend more time with my sweet little boy, and to focus and pursue my art and life coaching in a more bolder, fuller way. Well, that's what I tell myself, anyway. It's mostly true. The other truth though, is that I'm wanting to touch my vulnerability in a deeper way. I want to let go of descriptions and the identity we use to "define" ourselves because it's scary. I need to do things that scare me. I'm seeing that the more I face my fears, the more free I feel. And that's where I find myself today.
So here I am, reflecting on this new inner joy I am discovering daily, and feeling really good about being vulnerable.
Your Personal Reflection: What makes you feel vulnerable?
This is great news... I am so excited for you!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm... shall I post what makes me feel vulnerable? Heck, why not... probably what makes me feel most vulnerable is being a mom of many and realizing they are growing up... really really fast... and holding the belief that everything is going to be fine. It's a little like crossing a stream on slippery stones. So I gotta be ready to fall in the water... and maybe I'll find it ain't as bad as I thought it was gonna be.
Beautiful.
ReplyDeletevery nice. so proud of you sistah. i am learning to be more aware of my feelings and listening to my true voice. it is kind of scarey becoming more authentic but completely worth the never ending journey.
