I've just landed back in Boston after a FULLY love-steeped weekend in San Diego, celebrating the marriage of my dearest friend Jamie, "J" and her husband David. I have known Jamie for over 10 years. The love that her and David share is so pure, so playful. When they look at one another, I swear they leave this physical plane and travel to fairytale fields of bliss. I really have never seen Jamie so happy, and this couple proves that love knows no boundaries.
Feeling inspired and perhaps a bit honey-moony after this bliss-y weekend, I realize that, if there is something we want, it is HERE for us. We are so good at coming up with excuses as to why we shouldn't begin something, or why we don't need XYZ, or how we're not qualified enough or old enough or smart enough to do it. All we need to do is BEGIN. All we need to do is question the thought and find out if it's real or make believe. All we need to do is share the WILD idea pounding in our chest with a supportive friend or encouraging mentor, and BEGIN. START. ACT.
I don't know about you, but MY mind is analytical and logical and I LOVE using my mind to solve problems.
On the other hand...
I spent this entire weekend filling my heart up up UP and away. I honestly feel like my heart has grown with the love shared by Jamie and David, and all the friends and family at the wedding last weekend. And with that, my contemplative mind is suddenly embracing my hearts' desires with far less question.

Kind of like how the other week, it was my breath muscles that I was building.
This week, it was like my heart-strings were being strummed for the first time.
