Do You Even Rain Dance? What About Think For Yourself?
I’ve been meaning to write for quite some time. Yet the world seemed to be spinning a bit fast even though it came to a standstill in March. Anyone else wonder, “WTF?” more times than once in March?
I find it very freaking strange that the mass media can manipulate and coerce the general population into being so scared that they actually won’t stand within six feet of another human being, another human being with a soul and suffering just like you. I find it freaking mind blowing that people still listen to media sources with one false narrative after another and won’t even share recovery numbers. As an American citizen, I find it really freaking eerie that we are on house arrest and the means by which we make a living has been taken from under our feet as they threaten mandatory testing, tracking, and vaccination with a virus as the scapegoat. Where the hell is my freedom going?
I’m not here to give you the facts. I’m here to tell you to think for yourself. Stop taking a celebrity’s word and dig deeper.

Well, here we are. Friday, April 3rd.
As a small business owner and entrepreneur, today was a tough AND equally great day. Sure, it’s hard right now as I know many of you are going through a storm too. I’m not going to lie to you. Telling someone you can’t pay is something I’d rather not make a habit of because of the shitty feeling I have inside. Yet, I’m going to make myself feel it all, process it, and keep going. Sometimes processing is a few hours in a bath and other times it takes me months or years to process something. I’ve gotten more efficient through big lessons and time. The point I’ve got to feel the feels right now AND process them. I know you’re probably going through a bit of a shit show too. I’d encourage you to sit with those emotions and move them through your body. You’ve got to let go and let flow. You’ve got to cry it out in the bath tub and dance it out to Fleetwood Mac’s “Go Your Own Way.”
You get the idea.
Today, Mother Nature divinely intervened and gave me a good rinse and process. I just got home from one of my long walks around the lake. This was the first time, since living here, that I got caught in the rain on a walk. I mean I was drenched and still about 800 meters from home. I couldn’t really run because my shoes had water all in them. My shirt was clinging to me. And it was almost raining hard enough to make it difficult to see. Yet, I couldn’t help but smile. People were sitting on their porches watching the rain come down. They asked me if I needed anything and then said to enjoy. Might have been one of my favorite walks to date.
I know times can be a bit confusing and scary and rocky right now. And, they can also be joyous and calm and full of connection. Slow it down, embrace the light and dark cycles of the day and in our journeys. And you absolutely must put your critical thinker hat on and enjoy a rain dance sooner than later.
