Writing Prompt: ✨ What decisions or directions h

I’m an Earth Element dominant individual and wit

This week I’m celebrating the one year anniversa

This week I’m celebrating the one year anniversary of the release of 5 Element Alchemy.

Its been a crazy year and not anything I expected. Most would assume the release of your debut book to be all fire, excitement and celebration, I assumed this. But, instead it kicked off a year of deep healing and metamorphosis.

Given the transformative work I do with my own clients and now being on the other side of this year, I have to laugh and think “of course it brought a whole new level of inner work and healing.” Why would you think anything different. Bringing a creative project to a close and releasing it out to have it’s own journey brings about new initiations and self discovery.

That doesn’t even account for the life stuff that I’ve encountered this past year. Many of you know that the release of my book is also intertwined with the sudden passing of my dad the same week. As you can imagine this comes with a year of firsts and reconciling my heart that I don’t ever get to share new moments with him on this plane. Its bittersweet, and I’m thankful that he got to hold my book in his hands the last time I saw him.

Another thing that occurred, that I’ve kept pretty close to me is that for the better part of 3 years I’ve been waiting to have surgery. I’ve actually been experiencing excruciating nerve pain in my left arm and dominant hand that has resulted in loss of sensation in some of my fingers including a loss of dexterity. Thankfully I’ve been able to still needle and work in a clinic setting however the longer the surgery was prolonged the greater risk I was at to lose more function.

The pandemic lengthened the time line considerably and I’ve been in a perpetual state of waiting unsure of how to move forward with any projects that I’ve been wanting to share with you because I didn’t know if I would have the capacity to support others during the ebbs and flow of pain and possibly the early recovery phase post surgery.

Though I have to laugh, at the beginning of the year I decided I wasn’t going to wait anymore

Today would’ve been your 80th birthday. Instead

Today would’ve been your 80th birthday. Instead we celebrate it with you missing and us missing you.

I wrote this on a day that something really great happened and I wanted to call and tell you about it but had no where to put my grief other than in words.

My Beloved,
Its bitter sweet I know.
With every moment of joy and celebration
It’s also forever tinged with a bit of sadness.
One less person is there to celebrate with you.
One less glass to clink
One less hug to embrace you
One less…
This is what it feels like to be a human that has loved.
To hold the paradox of ecstatic joy and grief alongside one another.
One does not subtract from the other.
Feeling joy doesn’t negate your grief.
Feeling sorrow doesn’t cap the amount of happiness that is available to you.
Feel both, with no guilt or shame.
You get to be whatever you are in this moment.
Happy and Sad,
Laughing and Crying
Allow yourself to express everything that you are.
Someone that has a tremendous amount of good in their life.
Someone that has loved and lost.
Someone, who has one less.
I love you,
Holding it all gets easier.
This is the first step.
XO
Fire.

Happy Birthday Daddy. I love you! ❤️
