Shakti Love Notes
We are always growing. I love that! And the more I grow, the more I recognize how important it is for us all to share what we're going through-- even (and especially) me.
So these Love Notes are a space for me to share with you each week-- about the studio, my life, how our community is growing.
Life is really just a series of phases.
Lately I've found myself asking myself about myself (lol lots of by myself):
Is *this* just a phase?
Last week I mentioned this new development to my friend, Kate, to which she replied, 'Not at all, Ruby. Don't even go there. That's not fair to the you that you are right now.'
Which got me thinking...
Isn't life really just a series of phases, anyway?
So who was it who decided to call something 'just a phase'? And why?
What kinds of phases have defined my life?
How would I describe the phase I'm in right now?
Who am I right now?
What's possible if I fully embrace this phase exactly as I am?
I'm really still in the inquiry phase of this thought progression, but it's been too top of mind to not share.
So that's kind of it.
Take some time this week to journal on those questions I've been asking myself. Reply if you want; I'd love to hear from you.
Here's to discovery every step of the way.
