12 days. A clean, light, healthy space in my chest.

December 24, 2011 in General

A clean, light, healthy space in my chest.

I want to create a clean, light, healthy space in my chest. Presently a hard, heavy rock seems to dwell there. Expectations, concerns and worries have settled in my body and are trying to take root. Time and energy to eat well, exercise, meditate and pray will create the opportunity for new growth.

"I'm not a king."

In "The King's Speech," the character breaks down and shares this deep belief about himself. The movie affected me more than I could have predicted. I am supposed to sing solo at a benefit concert in February. Though I've rehearsed a ton already, I believe I cannot do it because I am not good enough, don't deserve to do it, will only embarrass myself, do not belong up there with those other people, etc. I am not a king. My wish is to let this go and do it anyway.

Let go of wheel-spinning.

I'm so, SO ready to let go of wheel-spinning and worry and figure out a way to– finally!– make a living doing what I truly love. The very idea of jumping off that cliff scares the bejeezus out of me, but frankly, I'm not getting any younger here! It's time.

Write the stories.

I want to let go of being afraid to write and embrace it and write the stories I have wanted to tell.
