Tales of a Double Virgo
Episode #21
tall glass o change
pour one for me
pour one for yourself
sip it
slam it.
it’s nice when you get to be the pour-er
cause mostly we are being poured on
poured on and force fed
a tall glass of slippery something something.
it’s like doing a beer bong.
or a keg stand. ha!
let’s do a change bong.
a change stand.
so nice to intentionally imbibe.
be willing to take the step(s)
to allow newness IN.
that means:
a new job. a new relationship. new friends. a new spot for coffee/tea. a new house. a new food! a new belief(s).
and it’s not always about ‘trying’ something new
it’s about DOing something differently.
if you always read the paper
do jumping jacks instead.
if you always take a particular class at a particular time
meet a friend for a walk instead
or go sit outside and breathe.
if you have always worked for yourself
go get a job.
ha!
we get fixed in our same routes
seeing and connecting with the same peeps all of the time.
when you make a turn in your day
you bump in to a whole new group of path walkers.
this is good.
bust out of the ushe
pour a tall glass of change
cause if you don’t
one will be poured for you.
think about what your glass o change might look like.
it may be something you’ve never considered before.
it probably is.
we get so set in our routines.
i always thought i was flexy and go with the flow.
but really
i was going with my own flow.
when the tall cosmic glass o change was offered up
i couldn’t even look at it
let alone drink it.
i felt its presence constantly
its pressure was great
and
i knew if i didn’t grab it and slam it
it would dump itself on my head
and
its SUCH a big glass
i may drown.
truth is
i was already drowning in my own resistance.
resistance = pain
that’s an easy one to often forget.
to be drowning in resistance
AND
have a tall glass o change dumped on your head
what a freaking double whammy.
no need to suffer, people.
allow yourself to break.
it’s never comfy
tho the potential on the other side
is great!
we are so damned fixed.
so cemented IN to our beliefs.
here we are again….
talking about beliefs.
the truth is
we believe
so it is.
but when the tall glass slides down the bar
in our direction
and
we want so badly for it to be for the person next to us
we must grab it firmly
meet its eyes
and
consume all of the goodness
that it came to offer us.
change really is good.
of course
it’s inevitable
and
like i said
it’s MUCH nicer to BE the changer
than to drown in our resistance
with a tall glass of change being poured over our head.
change = better us
in the long run.
allow the ruts in the road of your life
to smooth out and grow flowers again.
xo
