It is my 28th birthday Saturday. And while I will never pretend to ~know ~ anything, this list is a forever working document of lessons I have learned, so far. I feel lucky to age, especially after the last few years but to age when I know my peers haven’t made it this far. I feel blessed by the early grey hairs and the wrinkles I so far only recognized on my grandmas hands, not my own. I feel lucky to be able to learn and from the many many many teachers I have been the student of.
28 lessons for 28 years 🏹🔥🌝🌞
Everything is an experiment
Magic is trust
Trust is magic
It all comes back to the body
Go together
Destroy build destroy
and trust the process
Feel into it
Showing up is 99.9% of the work
Everything is information
There is not such thing as done
Done is better than perfect
There is not such thing as perfect
abolish the white supremacy from your head + mind +body + spirit too
Notice what is working
Take the scenic route
Tell people what you want
If you stay open to all things, all things are possible
Sharing your creation is always worth it
It doesn’t matter how or with who. I’d write this list on a sign and stick it on my lawn if emails went bust tomorrow, but i’d still share it.
If it isn’t beautiful I don’t want it
We are all messy strangers
I don’t know your life
You are your own best guide
I am going regret the wine I didn’t drink than the wine I did.
*replace wine for coffee, tea, Perrier, whatever your preferred beverage with friends in a park is.
Its never about the thing
Its never about you
Nothing is about you
If it isn’t a full body FUCK YES, its a HELL NO
I cannot emphasize thing enough
You are never the loudest/weirdest/brightest person in the room
Always try to be the loudest/weirdfest/brightest person in the room
There isn’t always a lesson
and I don’t always have to write about it
