I usually let the pollyanna "elated" feeling drive me these days. I feel like i've come a long way in how I react to "upheaval". Think: super silver lining. I owe RK a huge shout out for helping me to find this headspace. I've worked at it by myself for a long time, but him having my back, over and over, really friggin helps.
I've also resorted to tattooing these things onto my body.
The first one was a mantra my mom and dad had been urging on me for years & RK reiterates:
Seeing it in black ink, engraved, on my arm seriously helps.
But, apparently it wasn't enough. On my return from NYC this summer, I walked straight over to the tatoo artist and asked for another.
This past summer in NY, I finally realized that I'd wasted a lot of time wishing for something other than what was right in front of me. It's made my days a lot brighter, the moments a lot stronger.
I think I'm finally getting it.

K.
you did it! you are so freaking smart. i love what you've done with yourself and why and also i miss you.
You said you were going to do it...looks great! And of course the imperative is so true.
I love this - the statement, the intention to live it and best of all, the way your arm is stretched out, ready to hug the moment, the world.
love it.
i LOOOOOOOOOVE your second one especially. what font is that? i just settled on the text for my 3rd. they are quite addictive.
Oh my goodness... this makes me so excited.
I have been inking (with a pen) all my necessary mantras.
The first one was, "Be Nice."
The there was, "Don't be defensive."
And so many more I can't remember right now.
Awesome. I love yours. You are two steps ahead of me and I love that.
