Crossing the Line but Closer to Fine

I just reread my blog from yesterday.

Oh my!  It started out so well...my India Arie Inspiration-Filled Day.

Apparently there is a fine line between a sunshine-loving, universe hugging, beautiful flower and a crazy ass bitch.   I crossed the line around noon.

The whole mission of this blog is to share positive energy and motivate women to be empowered by their best selves, to live in light and love.  Inspiration through Freedomseeking, Dreampushing, and Truthtelling.

Today I hope to inspire you with some Truthtelling:

It can be incredibly, painfully, devastatingly, overwhelmingly, impossibly difficult to live in light all the time.  Like The Indigo Girls say in my favorite song ever (Closer to Fine) ~ "darkness has a hunger that's unsatiable and lightness has a call that's hard to hear."  Well, yesterday the darkness swallowed my lightness whole and then shit it out.Of course I can't tell you the whole truth and nothing but the truth because I have to protect the privacy of my life.  Oh and also you have to wait for the book version (coming soon in all its juicy scandalous glory.)

Regardless, I send my daughters off to school each day with these words:  "Have a good day.  Make good choices. Let your light shine through."  Picture my singsongy voice and two middle school girls rolling their eyes of course.

So here I am once again.....beginning this day....this NEW day.....by trying to follow my own advice. I'm laundering yesterday's shit-covered darkness and soaking my soul in light and shiny hopefulness.

Of course, it does help immensely that I'm heading to Lake Erie to create some "Soulshine" with a sista who will remind me that it's only life after all and that every new day will take me Closer to Fine.
