A "Wild Woman" celebrating commitment to Self
“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserves your love and affection.”
Buddha
What is it going to take for you to fully commit and take action?
A client of mine at this past weekend’s Wild Women’s Intuitive Painting Retreat shared a book with me that she wanted to burn in our campfire. She said, “I am done with this book, ‘Getting to I Do.’ I am going to focus on loving myself first–I am my happy ending!”
I felt this was profound. Not just her proclamation of self-love and reverence but also of holding herself fully responsible for her own happiness. In that sense I found the book had made its impact. It might not have been the immediate result that she was ultimately seeking when she picked up the book – which was to get married – yet the result was one far greater than she could have realized at that point. The result was fully committing to herself.

So then ‘Getting to I Do’, takes on a whole other meaning. It spoke to me and I see it in my own journey and in those of my clients…what does it take to get to I do? To marry yourSelf? What does it take for you to commit to yourself? Your dream? Vision? Creativity? Partnership? …Your Passion?
Dreams, visions and desires are all nice. I will be the first to claim myself as a dreamer with a vivid imagination. However, Champagne dreams are just clouds in the ether unless you fully commit to manifest them thoroughly.
Are you willing to get to I do, by taking the journey to what you want?
with love, creativity & commitment,
Melissa
