What was I thinking?

Posted on by RhapsodyBoheme

Today I am feeling the pain of my brilliant idea, paying it forward in my “Created by Storms” series and giving you a shoutout. Problem is there are not nearly as many segments as people that need to be mentioned. What was I thinking?

After a snow day yesterday and a few inches of snow overnight, temperatures are still on the cool side. It’s of to the car repair place for me, yeah I know, and perhaps a movie. Wishing you a wonderful start to your week, as I ponder my next shoutout.

We are the co-creators of our life and the time is now. More than ever are we needed to support Mother Earth and each other. Together we discover and explore our unique gifts in times of strengths, in times we lean on each other, and in times when we learn from each other. This blog started as an outlet and what I ultimately called my “Warriors Journey.” It was a way to document the ups and downs of my life, sharing my hardships as well as my successes. It showcased the struggles, but more important the ways of how to overcome them. Although we are warriors each and every day, I realized that having to be a warrior, comes from a place of pain. I decided to rename this blog, and “Phoenix Rising” now stands for the story of overcoming such a painful place. My motivation for this blog hasn’t changed and I hope to share inspiration and hope, to create a sense of belonging, a space of being heard, and connecting with like minded beings who instill a sense of oneness. We are never alone, and we are unstoppable in the pursuit of what sets our soul on fire. Who I am in a nutshell... 
I am an energy healer and Reiki Master. I am surviving a chronic disease that I’ve sent into remission three times since my initial bout, 15 years ago. I continuously challenge the status quo and by doing so I change my stars. I am a believer that anything is possible. I am a hopeless romantic and I believe that true love exists on various levels. I am an optimist that will always see the glass as half full. I am a dreamer, believing in endless possibilities. Not even the sky is the limit. I have jumped off of the hamster wheel, and I am writing a new chapter. I am chasing my Nirvana to support my most authentic self. This is my story, I am that Phoenix and I am rising from the ashes. Namaste 🙏🏼💙🦋

  1. You are learning to stand in your heart space dear lady, that integrity that love is as you understand unconditional.
    Most of our lives we play with all those conditions, so that when we meet unconditional…we will ‘know’ without a doubt who we have just met, and like to be. We have a lifetime of ‘bits & habits’ that we will do but now no longer feel comfortable in them, and drop them away. It takes a little while for that change to become the normal, even you will be surprised when an old way of being comes up and you no longer react, no longer are that person from before.
    Just breeeeeathe and know that the universe will throw them at you so that you can see just how far you have come, and that it is possible to be beautiful, loving and true to who and what you are now becoming 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋

    1. Perhaps I’m having more and more experiences teaching me what exactly it means to stand in my heart space. I have thrown much of lifetime habits and bits to the wind, unlearning much of what I once learned. I found it essential to come into my own, to live by what is important to me and not a condition of society. It’s been journey alright, often painful but strangely I wouldn’t change a thing. I realize that I needed to feel everything, in every detail to arrive at this point. 🙏🏼🦋❤️

  2. There ARE a great many wonderful souls in this world. It is cheering to know they exist and so hard to cite each one. If you continue the series, think about each one and see which might need shouted out. When I was writing my response to you, my aunt called and I had to stop writing–she’s from MN and I don’t hear from her often!
    I wanted to tell you how odd and wonderful that deciding to think on the positive side of life. I try, but it is so easy to fall short. Especially when one is a couple inches over 5 feet. ‘If Only’ isn’t near as important as ‘Next Time’. When I see what I want and what I have, I know that next time I might just be in position to get those if only wants! Who knows, next time might be just around the korner!

    1. You are so right Kris and often it is exactly that. So many deserve to be mentioned but sometimes someone might be in desperate of a little inspiration and pick me up.
      I also understand that being positive is constantly tested and it’s hard to stay the course. We all have stays we fall back and I look at it as there being a lesson I have not quite learned in order to move on, father then a setback. I think it still comes down to choice and if you choose the positive side of looking at life, you will always land on your feet somehow, living life with a lot less resistance. 😉🦋❤️
