Vulnerability and YES

What does vulnerability have to do with YES? Everything.

As I have been stepping more into the vulnerability – asking for what is important to me, but doing so from the place of surrender, knowing that I could get a No, even to my dreams… I am getting more yeses. Hmmm. Go figure. To me I always assumed that the more vulnerable, and exposed I was, the weaker I was and the more likely I was to get taken advantage of, treated like a doormat, and generally misused and abused. Power and strength were the only things that could keep me safe.

What’s Stopping Me?

Ok, I have at least 7 half written blog posts. Almost ready to go, just needs the extra words, the extra time, the extra push. What gives? What is holding me back? Me, who likes writing. Me, who loves an audience and creating for an audience. I don’t get it!

Me and/or We

I have this thing. An unexamined (until now that is) belief that to have “we”, as in relationship of any form, I need to give up “me”, both my independence but also my self expression, my Signy-ness. Not surprisingly, given my nature, which leaks out even in the title of my blog (Unleashed), I am not really all about giving up the “me”.

That is not to say I haven’t done it, in my youth, and in some relationships and in some jobs. Sold out the true expression of who I am to fit in, or belong, or be loved… or something. And it sort of works, for a while, but then I start to bust out, to break free, gosh darn it… to be myself again.

I’m off Vacationing!

During my time away on vacation I had planned to blog my heart out, to capture exciting morsels and post them. Who knew that there were places in the world that still don’t have easy access internet (and some of you might say Thank God). Well, Sandbanks National Park is one of those. So I will just have to hold it all in until I get home, which hopefully will be sooner than any of us expect.

In Search of Pele

Ok, so I am here in a Hawaii for a couple of weeks. Having my first proper vacation in years. I am suppose to be learning how to relax.

It is not really working.

The other day, fueled by my love of Goddesses, and recent inspiration to come home with gifts reflecting that view – I decided I wanted to find a figurine of the Hawaiian fire Goddess Pele. She represents awakening and coming alive and passion. That sort of yummy (in my books) stuff. I pre-supposed that it would be easy. I’m in Hawaii. She is kind of their best known Hawaiian Goddess. No brainer, right. Wrong. Dead wrong.

BAST – The Goddess of Play

This morning I woke up (like I do most mornings). The first thing I saw was a little black furry face, with yellow eyes, staring into my face. Waiting. Waiting as patiently as she can. Waiting for me to wake up. And the minute she saw that I was up, well that was invitation enough.

TIME TO PLAY!!

The Journey

I know, I know, blog posts should be unique, my own thoughts on things. And yet there are some things that are just so good that they need to be shared, and quotes and such. Mary Oliver is one of those. An amazing poet – she leaves me speechless on occasion with how much she gets the human condition and so eloquently captures it with so few words. She unleashes my mind and my heart. She makes room for me to be more in this world. What a gift she gives. And what a gift she has.

Without further ado –
