Oh, and welcome back to Meringue! How was last week for you with the creative energy reading in mind? On my end, I was able to take advantage of that fiery creative energy for the first part of the week, but the last half was a little challenging to manage all the doing and trusting in taking time to rest and recuperate. Ok, let's get into it!
(wanna know what i focused on while the tiny human i was growing was pulled outta me?)
I was thinking about that time...ya know... when I had a baby. It was my second time around and, yeah, it was a time but a time was not had. My 2nd lil' guy decided to come a whole month early (yeah it might've had something to do with that headstand I did the day before) and turned our Paris staycation for the winter school holiday into a lil' hospital stay [minus the -cation].
I had to have an emergency C-section and without turning this newsletter section into a whole trigger warning, it took some work to get my boy outta there. It was like he changed his mind. He was like: "I'm just playin' I'm just playin'!" and the doctor was like "oh well, too late."
Trigger warning:
As this birth was going down, I could literally smell my insided. No kidding.
And so I could keep my shit together, for whatever reason, I focused on my feet. Feet! Like, oh yeah, I have those! What an interesting concept! I even tried wiggling my toes just to skip that whole part going on in the middle of my being. If it weren't for the thought of my feet, I kept thinking I was about to die. Birth be like that sometimes.

AND SO IT GOES WITH CREATING...
This traumatic memory got me to thinking about how when you're birthing someone or even something like a creative project near and dear to your heart, to get through the sometimes crazy traumatizing middle of it all, you gotta stay connected to something that keeps you in the room.
The ideation and planning phase is the easiest part. When the creative juices get ta flowing, it's harder to stop the ideas from flowing than it is to think up entire businesses and projects that can last a lifetime.
But it's that middle part. The part when you're taking all the action and it seems like nothing is happening, like it's all for naught.... That's when, BOOM! All 8 cylinders firing hot! You've gotta see this thing through or you're gonna quit. It can be soooooo uncomfortable there. You feel all the emotions all at once and, goddamn it's a lot. Sheesh.
Then finally you bring your thing to life. It's here! The business, the art series, the dance performance, the website in under 5 days. It's arrived.
And underneath it all was your simple focus on something that kept you sane, kept you there, when you felt like the only thing left to do was quit...
I'm telling you all this because of the creative energy download I got during this morning's meditation.
Take a peek below to see what message I got...
But first...
there's SOMETHING brewing
and if you're in paris you're gonna wanna tap below to get on the waitlist first...
I'm going a bit of a different direct for the moment. I'm focusing on establishing my IRL offer here in Paris before I come back to the boundaries course. I promise this is all connected. And if Soft Sundae confuses you, my bad. Check out my Open Haus series to get a clear understanding of how my brain and this wellness studio work.
