A letter from Jan 25, 2025

Dear FutureMe, Thank you for your insights, imagination, and support today and every day. You told me that I need to prioritize rest - radical rest - and DREAM TIME. This is not selfish, this is what is necessary to finalize all the work I/you/we have been doing to nurture my inner child, and all that she did not receive from those she loved and who were supposed to love and support her. You've told me to Honor my Inner Self - even to do nothing now and then, or every day. for just a little while. You told me that my Creative Practice is a ritual, and to practice my creativity as if it is a letter to my childhood self. To write to her, to photograph for her, to dance with her. That we are/I am here to understand and see ourselves more clearly, in order to help other people see themselves more clearly, and in so doing, to help liberate us from the old stories. Mutual empathy, connection, and sharing helps to expand and liberate us, even as we grow bigger around those old hurts. In the process, we will learn to let go of other people's negative opinions of us, of other people's ideas of what success looks like. Again, radical rest, more sleep, more DREAM TIME, grounding activities, mediations, energy clearing, cord-cutting, sitting with difficult emotions and honoring them. These were all emphasized this year, and continue to be useful tools. Thank you for pointing the way. Also I learned that we know more than we think we know. We are doing amazing, and abundance awaits us, is within us already. Thank you for all that you have done this past year to be brave, to embrace change, to be willing to imagine yourself in new ways, into new pathways. Thank you for all the art you created, all the ways in which you stretched yourself. Thank you for having the courage and the heart to love yourself. Thank you thank you thank you. Keep dreaming.
