And, um, decadent and abundant when I feel this in my body and? I know for you, I know for you. That there is something. That feeds your soul that you want to bring out into the world.And I don't know what it is, but I know you have a thing. Maybe it's music. Maybe it's making art like I do. Maybe it's creating something else. Maybe it's being a really great parent, um, maybe it's really putting everything into your work and whatever the thing is? I invite you today to consider what it would be like if you treated that as if it was your lover.And what type of energy? Is a lover, a lovership relationship. To me when I think of a lover, I think of creation. I think of amplifying, I think of adorning myself in beautiful ways. When I meet them, I think of being my best. I think of exploring, I think of excitement.I think of looking forward to.

A creative, expansive feeling when I think about it.And how this came to me today was I was dropping off my kids and then I was heading to meet a friend and I told them I would come right after I dropped off my kids. I said I'll be to like 9, 15, 9, 30. And then I realized this morning when I got up that I really wanted to do another layer on my painting lead follow.And. This painting's nearing the end. But every time that I add paint, I have to wait for it to dry before I can add the next layer. If you've seen my art, you know, there's a lot happening. A lot of colors, a lot of energy.
