I just ordered a ham, what are you doing?
/“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting
for our senses to grow sharper.” ― W.B. Yeats
Yep. I just ordered a ham. Never have I done this before. My body may be confusing its needs today but I went with it. I pick it up on the 19th and then I guess will figure it out from there! I also placed an order for a pasture raised turkey from my favorite farm.
I guess the energy is get things prepped today.
The other thing I'm doing, and the reason for taking up space in your sacred inbox today is to share my walking prayer. I'm saying it over and over and it feels like the way I can bless and receive today.
Holding my hands open, then placing on my heart in a gentle rhythm.
Open hands, open hearts.
And to make more personal when I need it, open hands, open heart.
I also made a little video on Instagram telling the story of how I used to take my kids on moon walks. They were little and we lived in the city and I would ask them to take off their shoes and we would walk around the block singing, "I feel the earth move, under my feet..."
I wanted them to have the experience of feeling the earth under their feet, to receive her energy. These little city kids had such smooth untouched feet and I worried they were missing something.
They loved it despite their rolling of eyes today when I tell them the things we used to do.
If you need some grounding today, take off your shoes, place those tender feet on the earth and let the energy move up inside of you. And maybe while there, send some love back to her. She needs us.
The nervous energy of today may make us do some odd things, like ordering a ham (even though my kids will be beyond thrilled), but it can also lead us to some powerful healing and rooting.
I want to meet you there. In that space where our roots are remembered and our love deep. Take care of you today.
I see you.
