Writing Sample: The Incubation and ReBirth of Spring

This is a sample of writing from a previous Blog post from 5 years ago.

Spring and Self-Renewal

I've been in deep contemplation and inward incubation these last few months of Spring which really have been the epitome of RE-BIRTH for me personally. The beginning of this year, I set intentions to make a lot of internal changes of who I am (who I thought I was), who I want to be, how I want to show up as a woman, and what I need to let go of and release in order to be the fullest of my Being.

The last 3 months of last year, and the first 3 months of this year, I immersed myself in taking classes at my spiritual center Creative Living Fellowship. By the end of March, I reached a plateau. I was on spiritual overload (Danielle LaPorte's article)

During this 6 month time period, meant a lot of inner soul-searching, purging and transmutation of sorts. Every level of my Human-ness was being challenged to really let go and release things such as old habits and behaviors; old-patterns and conditioning; and people, places and things (including my own egoic mind/pain body); that have been holding me back for far too long. This concept of the egoic mind/pain body come from the teachings of Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now book. I"m currently in a book study which my friend Rev. Sandi Daly is hosting. She does amazing work helping people in all areas of life, however, her passion is help victims of domestic violence transform. 

If you, like me, have been going through or want to go through a personal transformation with a desire to Know and Be and Live with more Awareness of Who you really are; I'd like to share some of the ways I am learning to tune-in and Anchor in the New and the Now....

Creative Passions, Pursuits and Programs

The last few years, I have been really focusing on the things that I used to love to do and bring them back into my life, while finding out Who and What I am and what else do I want to create in my life now. Last year, I acted for the first time in way too long of a time. 

This year, I was asked to a part of my friend Roman Orona's film project #iamHUMAN. I was very touched that Roman asked me, and during the process it became very clear that his creative endeavor which was to demonstrate how we are all Human and all have our "humanness" in common while still being unique, was a completely healing and transformative experience for me. I was able to deeply contemplate Who I Am? Who I was....Who I strive to be.....by stating my inner truths, by being seen and heard....and releasing my fears of being judged in the process of this project's public distribution.
