So the Deva's 40th Birthday Party was awesome! A gloriously lovely perfect day. It will be a springboard for many mini parties with the people I didn't get to visit much with on account of there were a million people here.
So here I am on a Monday afternoon - the first one of the next decade - and here is where the rubber now meets the proverbial road. Now is where the real magic must be worked in order to maintain a certain level of shininess every day for the next 40 years. Here's where those not so fun words like discipline, commitment, consistency, and practice must be put into play. But those words are not so bad when you are disciplined to experience Pleasure, committed to putting your Dreams into action, consistently visualizing the Deva you are becoming, and practicing extreme Self-care.
Ha! Here's a life metaphor for you - brilliant sun outside my window and hail dumping on the deck. Gotta love it!
So, today I'm moving forward into the beautiful with both thoughtful planning and wide-eyed bewilderment. The lamp on my foot (don't know the exact Biblical reference here) only lights up one step at a time so each step involves fearless faith, ecstatic expectations, and lusty pleasure.
I've been trying to channel some Athena energy - for craftsmanship, wisdom, and strategy - but it's the lithe, graceful Artemis who keeps coming to mind. She says aim your arrow slightly ahead of where you want to be and your quarry will actually run into it! Never waver, never take your eyes of the mark and you won't miss it. It's the target that's important, not how you're gonna get there. If the target is something you want so bad you can taste it and feel it and love it NOW, then the way will find you.
UhOh Life interrupts life. Gotta go get the Little Bird from school. It's All Red.
In Grace,
Kell
