A New Day

This morning, I wake up. My mind started working overtime in my sleep. I tried lulling myself again, but it would not work. Tick tock. I gave up and got up.

I came to my friendly blog to find so much love and encouragement and support from each of you. I always try to comment back, but I need to say here and now, how amazing each and every one of you is. I love the perspective and insight you bestow upon me like water in the desert.

I am feeling better now, after yesterday's wrenching experience. I needed to put those words down and release them. Release the anguish, and anger. I found myself exhausted after that and so I honored myself by resting and not doing any work.

So I awoke this morning, indecently early, and made the Tarot Card for today. The Queen of Crystals. That is my card, as an earth sign. The Queen of abundance and fruitfulness. I chose crystals because, to me, they are infinitely more precious than coins. They are natural gifts from the Divine. Gifts of Beauty. Gifts of Intuition. Gifts of Healing.

I am not going to be doing the SC suggestions today, not because I am avoiding them, but because this is what I do on a regular basis. I detox regularly. I pay attention to what goes into my mouth, what I crave, and who is doing the craving. Is it me or the little saboteur that has been installed inside me? I hereby give her eviction papers. Get out and take your baggage with you! :)

So I'm not a size 2. I never will be. I am healthy though! I strive to be more active, to not beat myself up with others' expectations. My mantra this week will be... I AM beautiful! I AM blessed. I AM alive!

I will make an appointment to get a mani-pedi tomorrow after work! The place I go to is not upscale but you certainly get upscale treatment! You sit in a shiatsu massage chair while they work on your feet. Each client has her own instruments in a box with her name and number. They are clean and sterile. They use hot rocks to massage your tired feet and hands. I feel gorgeous every time I leave there.

Yes! That's what I will do to honor my body this week, along with drinking more water, going to the gym, trying to get enough sleep, (Mind. Cooperate!) and eating food that gives me energy.

Today, is a new day, and I wake with renewed energy, leaving the past behind me and planting my feet on the beautiful earth one step at a time. :)

Blessed be. :)
