What a beautiful thing to experience. There's a particular song I love so much (God gave me feet for dancing by Ezra Collective) and I have to dance to it. I usually dance around on my own, but the other evening, I put it on and grabbed my husband who was cooking and whirled him around the kitchen...pure joy 😊 Karen
Karen, thank you for sharing this. That moment sounds like real, embodied joy....unplanned and unscripted - so spontaneous. I could feel the movement in your words. My system’s still learning to trust that kind of spontaneity, but this....is the kind of joy it’s slowly learning might be safe now. What you described is so pure, that’s the shape joy wants to take in my life too. :)
Me too Sherry...I felt quite self conscious despite being married for 39 years! It almost felt as if the 'real' me was bubbling up somehow. I've performed pretty much all my life, but I can feel that I'm allowing space for who I truly am to emerge. Such an interesting journey for us both ❤️
That line - “it almost felt as if the ‘real’ me was bubbling up somehow”.....yes. I felt that. It’s wild how even in the most familiar spaces, joy can still feel like exposure. I love hearing that you’re making room for her, that real self. She’s been patient a long time. ❤️
