August 27 yearly photo #6
Every August 27 I have been taking a photo and taking stock of this journey called life.
August 27th 2024 finds me showering late as the morning was early and off to work outside. So no makeup, wet hair pic it is!
Last year I was basking in a lazy morning while Rich was making me coffee and I got to reflect on all the changes. In location, in jobs, in me. All were fab. This year, still fab, although I notice that the journey, while always moving ahead, does have those pesky potholes in the road. You know those, the ones that trip you up or can cause you to fall hard. And now that my life has become stable and secure in some ways, those emotional pot holes started to appear. I did trip, and I fell a few times as I navigated through rediscovering me through menopause ( and still discovering, wtf people, does this madness and constant body disintegration ever end? ) and having old pot holes I thought filled, empty again. Triggers are wonderful evils, aren't they? They show you that not only do you have more to heal, but how far you've come since the last time they were triggered. Scrapes, cuts, and bruises aside, I feel so full. There would have been a time I felt empty, or defeated after such moments, but age, wisdom, and experience has gifted me with a beautiful phrase and mantra, "Unf**kwithable" I wear a bracelet that says it, I repeat it to myself daily and a beautiful friend has rewritten the old classic "Unforgettable" to, you got it, "Unf**kwithable". Sung to myself daily.
So this past year has brought more love, more joy than I could ever hope for, which I'm truly grateful. Richard is still in love with me, even with all this menopause insanity. Poor guy, he got one good year before I started descending into this madness 🤪 and has proven over and over again, I can make good choices!
I am fulfilled with teaching and directing theatre, meditation classes and workshops, creating space for intuitive energy readings and healings. I have promised myself to write more during this next year, so for next August 27th there may be even more news.
I gotta dry this hair so I don't look like I put my finger into a socket!
