Day 48 of 100 Days of Blogging
It is hard to believe that only four years ago talking about grief transformation was a radical, bold conversation to have in many circles. Sharing my grieving process and releasing most of my personal belongings, selling my house and moving across the country was embraced with love, caring, confusion, pity, annoyance and gratitude. Facebook was my first outlet of sharing real emotion that led to writing blogs, 70 articles and 44 radio shows.
One of the areas of confusion for people was, "How could a 52 year old leave her community and move from Maryland to California? How could she live in youth hostels, sleep on couches, live in uncertainty like a gypsy?" On top of that I had just finished a summer of crisscrossing the United States and Canada going to 45 Jonas Brothers concerts with my teenage daughter. Was I losing my mind in grief or was I breaking free of limitations?
My earlier path:
Homeschooling my kids. Alternative medicine to heal an autoimmune condition in the 90's. Leaving my 1st marriage. The choices I made sounded crazy to many people. Homeschooling my kids would make them social misfits. Alternative medicine would kill me. Divorce would ruin my kids lives.
None of those things came true.
Thank God I have reached a point in my life where I embrace the "crazy" because I know this IS my path. I am here to question the norm while at the same time living in it. I see myself as an ordinary woman living an extraordinary life. Refusing to be quiet. Refusing to stay within the "normal" boundaries. Questioning, exploring, expanding to the full expression of me.
I am a Turned ON woman.
Last spring I had an opportunity to be part of a film shoot for OneTaste, a company that teaches about female orgasm. It had been three months since I took a class called, "How to OM." I could feel the change that was happening in my life and in my body and I wanted to share the journey and give women and men the inside scoop of my experience.
Just so you know, this is vulnerable for me to talk about and I know, deep in my heart, that someone has to start and continue the conversation. And someone reading this right now wanted to hear what I had to say.
Some of the things I shared are included in this video that was just released last week.
