I am grateful for goals with soul. I spent the morning going through a desire map workbook to bring myself to my core desired feelings. Jotting down words, crossing out words, circling words, all based on how I want to feel in 2016. The process is beautiful. I love words. The idea is to create goals and make plans based how you want to feel. Make sense, right? Thank you to my great friend Carrie for introducing me to Danielle LaPorte and her books last year. This is my 2nd year creating goals with soul.

Love [ME] tender

 

This series of intimate self-portraits has been a long time coming... it was my sister who was the "pretty one"... the "thin one"... the "smart one"... I grew up in her shadow... I was her little sister... never quite matching up to her, never able to be mom's "favorite"... These are painful thoughts, years of feeling self-loathing... today I took these photos of myself with love and forgiveness, and thoughts of "I am beautiful"... chubby, but beautiful...

 

My mother's heritage to me was her sense of herself as a "fat person"... not quite worthy of beauty and maybe this is why she admired and "loved" my sister more, for she was the "beautiful one".... Maybe I was too much a mirror to her.

 

Feeling deep pains as I write this... but today is the day I fight back and say to my mother "It's OK to be fat"... It's beautiful if you feel beautiful inside, if you are loved deeply by a wonderful man, and if you love yourself enough to forgive yourself for being "fat"....

 

I think these photos of myself are full of love and beauty... that's how I feel about [ME].... today....

I really like my freckles, as silly as it sounds. They're in the oddest of places, like my shoulder. And there's one right below my lip. And one on the palm of my hand.

Who's peekin' out from under a stairway

Callin' a name that's lighter than air?

Who's bendin' down to give me a rainbow?

Everyone knows it's Windy

 

[Verse 2]

Who's trippin' down the streets of the city

Smilin' at everybody she sees?

Who's reachin' out to capture a moment?

Everyone knows it's Windy

 

And Windy has stormy eyes

That flash at the sound of lies

And Windy has wings to fly

Above the clouds (Above the clouds)

Above the clouds (Above the clouds)

You can even try this in masturbation as well. This is a big part of Tantra. I have a blog called True Tantra Starts with Self. I talked about before you make Tantric love with a lover, you need to make sure that you can understand and harness your own power of your own energy and your own orgasm.

From March 1, 2022: Today, I’m starting a new journey of self reflection & exploration. I’m hoping to connect more deeply with myself as I work to overcome my depression. Often, I’m too quick to jump online & moan about the state of my life, which can be okay, but I need to be able to see through the negative towards more positive outcomes. To know that I’m not always so worthless or useless. To know that I have something to offer in life.

 

I want to feel more positive about myself because I’m the only person I have in my life that I can depend on for the love I desire. I know I have a habit where I say these kind of thoughts, & in other posts I’ve often talked about trying to actualize these things, trying to actualize unconditional love & reverence for all life starting with myself, but I also know that I’ve often failed at doing this for myself. It’s time to stop failing. As author @shannonkaiserwrites says, it’s time to start living & using joy as a barometer for how I feel.

 

In terms of the selfies I’d like to capture this month, I want to explore ways of seeing myself visually that I haven’t done before over the last two years, while also keeping them authentic to how I feel.

 

I admit, I’m nervous that I will start strong & then fall again. I need to craft some kind of a safety plan for when I feel myself growing weak. A way to lift me up from under the weight of the metaphorical bricks that can feel too heavy on my shoulders. I’m not sure what that will look like but maybe that’s a question I can put to my non-physical guides & teachers in tomorrow mornings automatic writing session.

 

Another thing that I need to do this month is reach out for help. I’ve been struggling so much, & I haven’t done the things I need to do to get better. There were times in January & February when I felt lower than I did when I ended up in hospital for my depression. It’s not some thing I’m proud of. But I have to get over being upset with myself or feeling guilty for not getting the help that I know I need. Because when I do that I just cycle down into more shame, regret & remorse to the point of paralysis. So this is my manifesto: that kind of shit ends today.

 

I took my photo today, of my feet, walking through the mess that’s on my bathroom floor. I placed my camera down on the floor to look straight ahead at where my feet would walk, & I used a delayed shutter release to capture the image with a shallow depth of field. I think I’m happy with the shot, my bare feet still scarred from when I cut them up in January after walking 10 km & boots that didn’t fit properly. It’s taking almost 2 months for my feet to feel comfortable in shoes again. They might’ve healed more quickly had i not continue to walk for a few days after hurting my feet. By doing that, I made my feet feel worse, even though I was wearing padded Band-Aids, gauze & thick socks, returning to my old shoes that I had worn before trying out the new boots. So one foot still looks worse than it feels, in fact I feel nothing at all, even though it’s still purple & bruised. But it’s a reminder that with time, even the deepest of wounds can heal, & one can carry on in life as if nothing had even happened at all. Finally, I’m also loving how you can see the blurred outline of my beautiful dog Kira, who was standing in the hallway probably wondering what it was I was trying to do.
