I sent this video & the poem to my 93 yr old grandmother today ❤️

She called me and told me she was concerned for my wellbeing asked if I was depressed..

I asked her why she would think that and she said "the weight of your words, I didn't know you felt so much pain from what happened in your life"

I told her I was happier than ever in my life and that living to me is about embracing my story, feeling everything deeply and expressing my inner world just the same.

I then realized her question to me was a projection. And that she was the one feeling.
That poem and song activated something in her. Something innate and hidden.

She told me she wasn't use to feeling these things, although she opened up about how she desired to write a book about her life.

Granny has the kind of magic that begs to be kept in a heart shaped box.

I would say my intention as an artist and a teacher is to encourage those around me to FEEL.

And there is an important reason for this.
Trauma and suffering can only exist when they are hidden, numbed and unfelt.

To heal begins with feeling fully. Everything else comes after.

If you are all about New Year, New You, I'm all for it!

Just make sure you add the following to your packed schedule ;)
stop and notice the flowers
pause for a breath
take a moment of stillness

If that sounds like it's *easier said than done*
