This past storm seemed to both preempt and embody so many feelings that were spiraling ad vortexing inside my heart and mind...I woke up on saturday morning feeling like the storm itself, raging inside with chaotic, uncotrollable grief...I could feel it all brewing and starting to pour out of me and I really lost it for a little while...but as usual I had amazing family to help me to look at what was happening and embrace and love what was going on. Instead of allowing these things to consume me, an amazing goddess helped to give me perspective and turn the grief into strength. With Bill's memorial getting rained out and moved last minute I was stressed and nervous about whether or not it would be "perfect," but when everyone got here and all was said and done, it turned out exactly the way it should have.

I just wanted to send out a giant THANK YOU to all the family who were able to alter their plans and come out on Saturday to represent for Bill...
it was such an honor to sit in that circle with you and share all that was rolling through me, knowing that the people around me were soaking me with love and support. To be able to express all feelings and all facets of the whole range of emotions without fear is truly a blessing...and because we created the space I felt a great release of that which no longer served me that night...

and so the celebration of life continues! so now lookin a the storm clouds ---i know there's a sunrise on the other side to pull me through...

blessings

MUCH LOVE
