Frozen Nowhere

I am not a sales person… I don’t offer products or courses through my blog, and I don’t really have any “coaching” schemes in my mind either. But that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate when someone else comes out with something ridiculously wonderful to offer the world.

I have talked about Goddess Leonie and her wonderful Goddess School in the past. I have only been able to be through one of her classes (Decluttering your Sacred Goddess Space) due to financial and space-time-continuum issues*, but I have gone through the 2010 Goddess Workbook and Planner, and I hope hope hope someday to be able to join the Goddess Circle.
* I have yet to discover the way to…

Okay, I have to admit that when it comes to poetry, I’m woefully lacking some essential when it comes to poetry. I’ve tried, I really have… but although I love the way poetry sounds when read, reading it makes me feel terribly inadequate as a female human.

Whew… glad I could get that off my chest.

Anyway… the point is that the prompt comes from a line in a poem, Wild Geese by Mary Oliver (click if you want to read it yourself) that implores the reader to accept what they love, not to try and deny themselves for the sake of acceptance (and, if this is way off… just read the first paragraph and shake your head at…

Yesterday I received a comment* from Sarah Lulu in which she stated:

I don’t think you are frozen nowhere anymore …maybe you could conjur up a new title that reflects your movement instead.

I have been feeling this sort of disconnect from the blog name for a bit, but I wasn’t sure what to do with it, since I have been writing here under this name for going on 3 years now.

When I started the blog it was just another place to write. I had previously spent 10 years writing on the Open Diary, but since the privacy of that space had been violated by my then husband, my words twisted and turned and used to cause me injury……

Letting go of Items often means cutting the energetic ties we have to these items. For some of our collected objects this isn’t hard to do… we simply aren’t energetically bound to that item. For other items??? WOoooboy is it hard to let go.

I’ve been noticing this in my own life… and I’ve seen how this can get out of hand in the lives of those around me.

The head knows that we do not need this item or really WANT this item, but the heart knows that this item is OURS.
