When your archetypes come to play.

I patiently wait for them to fall asleep. 8:30am, though Delilah has started falling asleep earlier while Bunny waves toys in her face trying to entice another round. If I sit down and stop moving from room to room carrying a cold coffee mug from place to place, Bunny will settle down onto the pile of pillows she's chosen.

Once they are tucked into the couch of pillows or spread out on the rug I head upstairs to decide who I will be that day.

For October I'm following a flow of days that looks mostly like this for the time that the kids are in school...

M - Making Home Day (plants, moving things around, painting, redecorating, cleaning, sorting)
T - Emails, Circle work, Writing
W - Post Office Packaging and Loose ends
TH- Video Workshop, Photos, Newsletter
F- Video Calls, Shop listings

SAT- Computer catch up
SUN- Anything that catches my attention to set me up for Monday not being on the computer

Based on who I'm showing up as that day I dress for the part. Often I change more than once. I look forward to my 8:30am sneak away from the puppies so I can play dress up. I also layer with puppy walking clothes or have an outfit that can get muddy and wet waiting in the wings.

When I go to the Post Office or out thrifting in the stores I want to dress to be somebody who runs a cute little boutique. We can embody who we want to be (just for that day) by getting dressed; choosing the clothes that pull us into our Spiritstlye.

Being seen as the someone who.

So as the puppy nap time happens, I'm upstairs playing in my closet, trying things on, working on different combinations and layers. 

Then I pop back down after putting a little make-up on (foundation, bronzer and eye shadow most days) and click on the tea kettle. I put the cold coffee down and make a piece of toast. I like just (fake) butter but I can be persuaded to add some (fake) cream cheese and jam. Dairy makes me sick so I struggle through the substitutes.

Then I start to play inside the day. Embodying the one who has decided to show up and lead. Often she is an archetype like Mystic or Queen, Artist or Teacher. She offers direction I might otherwise not have as I wander from place to place.

This is how I show up. It all begins at 8:30am after two cups of coffee, one hot one cold, a puppy nap and a little embodiment. 

Sending love to all the parts you show up as, tend to and learn from.
