Rockin the Lessons of Earth School



"I don't have to be perfect.  All I have to do is show up and enjoy the messy, imperfect and beautiful journey of my life.  It's a trip more wonderful than I could have imagined."
              Kerry Washington
                                                         



The person who  "Shows Up" for life knows she is the star player in her story and she is enjoying every moment...the fun, the lessons, the screw-ups.  

She is very clear that life is ALWAYS teaching her something amazing about herself  and she is "all in" for the ride.

She feels no pressure to be perfect.   (What a relief!)  

She is just her real, authentic self with all of her quirks and idiosyncrasies... unselfconscious about what her actions look like to others.

She is the source of her own approval 
AND as long as she is open to life's surprises and invitations...
AND confident of her ability to embrace and navigate them...
AND is always looking to learn something new, she is good to go.
 

She does not "phone it in" as the creative arts are fond of saying...she is no watcher from the sidelines.

Oh, no.  She is alive and well, jumping and jiving...and sometimes
kicking and screaming her way to a new lesson.



 She "Shows Up" and wrests the juice out of every moment.  She is present...engaged...she rocks the lessons of earth school. 

The jewelry she wears are the stars in HER eyes.  She IS the bling...the master who gives herself up to the moment 

and


she is our inspiration for the life well lived...messy, colorful, full of pitfalls and the glorious lessons which accompany them.  
 

THIS starring role is always available in the on-going performance of earth school...just waiting for each and every one of us to step  up and step in.  


Can you bring it?
