Getting silly with it

Yesterday I hopped on a flight from TX to CO to come kick it with some of my Christ Consciousness homies and spend a week creating art and music.

On the flight, I pulled a new dragon toy in my pocket and set it beside the apple juice the flight attendant had just handed me.

I sat there looking at my dragon and my apple juice and thought, "well, this is not what I anticipated experiencing as a 30-year-old woman."

I used to take things so seriously, feeling like there was a "right" way and a "wrong" way, feeling the pressure of fixing everything that was "wrong" with me and holding myself to a ridiculously high standard of being contained and perfectly articulated as an academic, entrepreneur and community leader.

While all of this was an important part of the journey, I had lost the play, the wonder, the enchantment.

Playing with my dragon and drinking my apple juice, I thought, "Holy shift, I f**ing made it. This is legendary."

Turns out, we do "the work" to get here. To become the sanctuary where our inner child can play, create, be silly and be safely contained, witnessed and nurtured by our adult self.

Our maturity can either become a guardian of our creativity and play or a prison guard keeping us locked in the cage of how we "should" be.

"You must again become like a child to enter the kingdom."

I would LOVE to see how your inner child is moving through you this week. . .please share below and include photos! ✨
