IT'S COOL TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF

SURROUND YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE WHO SEE YOU

I believe that one of the biggest parts of healing anything, whether it be physical, mental, emotional... is feeling the support of other people and recycling that support back to those in need. Honestly, that energy transfer alone can heal so much more than any medicine, herb or bio hack. As I began raising money for this treatment, I had to really, really temper my desire to make an intricate, detailed plan to save the world from mold. First of all, I can't. And second of all, I'm of no use to anyone if I'm moldy. Translation: put on your own oxygen mask first. (In my case...nebulizer).

But every morning I wake up at 6AM (my most creative/inspired window is 6-10AM) and I feel the urge to sit, read, research, write and help. So rather than make any grand plans or promises, I've decided to honor my own healing process by staying in the moment, listening and giving myself what I REALLY need. And if and when it happens to flow over onto the page or screen...I will allow it. Without a production schedule, without deadlines, without lighting and sound. Sometimes we get so full that if we don't share, we implode. And sometimes we are so empty that if we don't open up and ask for help, we perish.

It's a fine line....a very delicate balance.....and for me, it has taken much practice. And I've decided (for today) to let you watch me practice. Even though I may look weird, I may make unusual choices or I may be absolutely 100% WRONG about what I say and "know". This it not what matters. The answers are never in the answers. The answers are in the vulnerable place where we allow ourselves to see and be seen.
