life is my biggest teacher

The miracles at a Next Step workshop are always undeniable, big, huge. Love, love, love doing this work, even as much as it chokes me up and terrifies me to do it.

The piece that I got this weekend, the piece that frankly I am just too exhausted to go into detail about in this moment but that felt so vital I wanted to remember it and had to write it down, declare it, put it out there–the piece that was huge for me this time was about letting go and not having attachment.

It can’t be practiced, I’m realizing. It’s something that one steps into. It’s a choice one makes (maybe the choice is the practice).

It’s a choice that I made this weekend, after noticing the pain it caused me to hold on tight to my opinions, beliefs, the “shoulds” that I have around other people or life or what the Universe hands me.

I looked around and had this moment where I got that Life was my biggest teacher, that every single experience of my day was there, waiting to see when I am going to wake up and see it fully, turn it over, get the lesson.
