While this is a little flashback to the opening days of summer, I post it full of a gratitude for a weekend of more much needed dance parties with the hostess with the mostest @sabineheller … you were missed @masha_orlov and this felt the time to post this, and kiss the summer days goodbye. It’s been an adventure as of late, and I am left wondering where all the wandering leads; and then I realize there’s no knowing so I may as well dance it all out and let my freak fly with kindred souls along the way. #goodbyesummer #danceparty #forever #goodbyesummer #Repost @masha_orlov ・・・ new #alpha to my #mega + #TotallySober i write that because so often people ask me what I take to be so happy and dance and act like a freak – it’s called high on life , I’m just cleansing , pure living baby – get yourself some friends that inspire you to be totally open and free @iamscottiet #video @sabineheller these alpha babes push me to be mega mega #upstateloves #danceparty #partyatthepool

My latest lesson in trust… I’ve wanted to learn aerial silks for several years now, and managed to avoid facing this incredibly challenging new art form out of fear of not being as good as I was way back when in my dancing days. But this year thus far is proving to be a year of free fall, follow through, learning to trust and forgiving my shortfalls. So here I am. Learning a new skill. Reminding myself you’re never too old to try something new. And struggling through some seriously difficult moves. Moments of losing all my strength. Moments of terror that the silks won’t hold me. Moments of frustration that my muscles don’t do what they used to do. Moments of being stuck and completely not in flow. And having to forgive my self. But man when it clicks there’s nothing like it. And it clicks when I don’t force it. When I let the choreography move through me, and trust that I am connected to these silks on high, that they are holding me up. That’s when the magic happens. Back in my dancing days, it was a partner who I could work with and would hold me or help me spin – and that part I miss, but learning to hold my self up and partner a higher power is quite a profound learning experience. And metaphor for life at the moment. So here I am. Sharing the beginnings of a journey towards – well, not mastery ha – but something. And I share it in part to hold myself accountable to gaining skill over this year, and in part to share that it starts slow and not so in flow. So next time I share this it will be somewhere else in the process of growth. Thank you @flyingdawnmarie for showing me the ropes – or silks I should say 😉 – and reminding me that I can fly higher in more flow by trusting I am held by something far bigger than me 💫
