The Path to Self-Honoring.

Today I am Grateful For ~

• A Great Weekend with a wonderful bunch of womyn.
• Being able to provide roomy, luxurious (by camping standards) accommodations for my tent-mates.
• Feeling competent enough to drive towing a trailer.
• Being able to back it up a half a mile when we went down the wrong road.
• Backing all the way down the driveway and into the backyard when I got home. And impressing Richard as a result.
• My weekend including: Henna tattoos, boas, bubbles, love-note journals, unexpected gifts like t-shirts with incredible artwork on them, inspiring pins, coffee service, stories told w/zest, the sound of drums, laughing till it hurts, great food lovingly prepared, the love of friends, great examples of people who take responsibility for their own upsets~rather than blame others, strangers who'll take your picture if you ask, connecting with so many like-minded womyn.
• The Goddess and how she has reappeared in my life, just when I needed her.
• Mama Gena and the lessons she has to teach me.
• Realizing this weekend that I don't honor my own sense of time/timing. I'm always trying to keep up with others or hurry myself up before I'm ready. I have mistakenly thought that growth was pushing myself to keep pace with the rest of the world. Now I see that growth is making sure that I have enough time to do things at my pace (think sloth...the cute kind!).
• Knowing that my pace serves me and others, even when it doesn't seem like it.
• That I'm often described as soothing and calming...I love that about me!
