A little girl passed me the other day – skipping.
She skipped passed me then came to a hoppity halt.
‘Oh I remember skipping!’ I thought, ‘How joyous!’
I don’t know if there is a more joyous expression of Pure Joy other than skipping.
At what age did I stop skipping?
Can I still skip?
Wait a minute im going to do a test run down the hallway…
I have no idea if I can still do this…
…Ok. It’s a little wonky, but I can do it. My boobs bounce a lot, my left hip hurts, but I can do it.
I walk to work but maybe I can skip to work.
Would I be tired when I got there? Can I skip all the way?
What would I look like skipping down the street at my age?
Why do I even care?
I care…
It feels forced and I feel like an idiot but I must say there is something fun and exciting about it.
So, I don’t think I’ll skip to work – at least not just yet…but I can skip down my hallway every day.
Trying to recapture my youth?
Trying to recapture LIFE!
At some point I skipped skipping – maybe if I continued to skip through life I would have avoided much of the emotional distress I put myself through…
All because I stopped skipping.

Boy what a shift! Our humanity is shifting, our respective cultures are shifting, These are certainly exciting times we are living in now. And what will we do with these changes? I am writing this quite frankly, because of a feeling. A feeling that I need to do this. Before I started writing, I titled this blog “Healing”. Interesting, because I had no idea what it would be about, but it is about me doing something that I love and healing myself through the process. So, I want to encourage anyone who reads this, to do exactly what you love and you will be healed. Healed from the stress of repressing something that is dying to get out. Healed by the ability to break free and do exactly what you want to do. Don’t care about the details, not anymore. My path has led me to this place, at this time, right now, to begin doing what I love and I will follow that path as I always do. Listen to your body, and it will tell you what it needs. Namaste.
Wishing every human and animal on planet Earth heartfelt LOVE and peace of mind.
