Tuesday is often a rough day in my world. You see, Tuesday is usually physical therapy day. You know… the not so much fun stuff that keeps my body on the road, around the next curve. Blessedly, I’ve found my people!
My hands, arms, and shoulders have been greatly unamused lately. This does not help with the art making! (It doesn’t actually help with much of anything…) But, there’s much art to make and a new book in its figurative second trimester! So… we made a deal, my PT and I.
I figured I could probably sit still for like three dry needles. She agreed to wander and pick three really relevant spots. (Don’t you just love healing folks who listen???)
I’ll skip the gory details. Let’s just say we persisted! And, it helped!
It also helped, metaphorically, later… when my inner child got just a bit overwhelmed with the magnitude of what’s coming next! Planning for a Feminine Frequency speaking gig. (Stay tuned!) Juggling techy things that make me want to give up. You hear me.
So, after I’d painted as far as my wrist would go, and asked for strategy/tech help, I decided I needed a break. Feel free to laugh… it was time for Princess Diaries!!! Like, as in, Alexa… please play…
Let’s just say that, for me, it’s a really good reminder that scary things can get less scary when we face them!
It’s a lot like claiming that what we need to stay on the road is okay. Kind of a becoming our own grandmothers kind of thing, even!
For this moment, my hand has spent enough time cupped around a cacao mug that painting is an actual option and I’m off to take advantage of that!
Then, a very welcome #RedMadonna sister circle. Some more tech help. And a promise to keep capturing and treasuring all the bits of encouraging stuff in my awareness! (It likes to be noticed!!!)
ps… it’s Wisdom Wednesday in the shop! Put 2 sets of Grammy’s MetaMod Wisdom Cards in your basket and the elves will gladly award you a 20% discount on them! Just click here! (Hurry! Quantity limited to in-stock supply!) And wander a bit… From original art to awesome gifts, good deals abound, and it’s way more fun than MartMart shopping!
Dear Sue – I am so sorry for the pain and PT – but you persisted!!!! Good for you! I love dry needling. It has helped my pain go down tremendously!!!!! I pray it does well for you! Love, Cherie
Thank you, dear Cherie! Let’s keep healing on and see if we can find some more good trouble to cause! (I’m hatching plots!!!) Love you!!!
I claimed a fairy godmother for myself when I entered second trimester–if by that you mean adulting-type development. for me it was when my son left home and I claimed for myself a ‘medal’ and came to realize that I’d lost my identity for which I needed some godmotherly encouragement.
Here’s to claiming our identities, Gwen. As many times as it takes! Onward!!!
