Learning to ROCK it...





Learning to rock "it" is quite the fun challenge some days.  It comes with its lessons and aha's, but it is always revealing about where you ARE in that moment.  Learning to rock it is all about grace and vulnerability, with a good bit of compassion--for self.  There need be little else in the equation.

Grace comes when you embrace every bit of who you are: what you are thinking, what begs for your attention, what is natural, and what feels like it needs a silly comment to shake off because your ego really reared its head in you in a bold way.

It is not about the narrow path you tip-toe across so as not to lose your balance and fall in the bush.   It means falling in the bush, and laughing your ass off at your self, because well- it was funny, and you are learning- ALWAYS.

Grace means letting whatever step you take in each moment be an indicator of the proceeding action.  It is living as the creator, and continuously sculpting the divine art that you are, and always becoming.

Vulnerability is roughly the same thing as grace, only it sounds 'scarier' to a lot of us because we have been programmed by life and circumstance to think that vulnerability somehow relates to weakness.  Though in truth, the spiritual version of vulnerability is something far more beautiful than one could ever have imagined.

Vulnerability is a soft, open heart- that owns, with confidence, every step we discussed above, and also expresses aloud to those in one's world -who need to hear it- exactly what it is that is being experienced.  It embraces one where they are strong- where they need support...where they are with things in each and every moment.  It is such a gift of humility and love.

Compassion simply means non-judgment.  It sees the light in you, AND- the darkness, too. Compassion sees these and acknowledges the perfection and wisdom in them both- gratefully, and willingly.

Learning to rock it is a beautiful, beautiful thing, and can come with such ease once you allow yourself to experience ROCKING IT in all its divine glory.

Don't be afraid to work it, every day- in every authentic way you can muster the love and courage to. Trust me, it feels so GOOD, even when it hurts.

Yeehaw...

Much joy to you along the ride, fine folks!
