Limitless Possibility
😍 This is me at the gym tonight.
😍 This is me with a strong healthy body.
😍 This is me with a full head of hair.
😍 This is the one shirt I own that has a word on it: OPTIMIST.
For years, I didn’t post or share much, or even connect with friends because, well… I was probably sleeping. I didn’t have any extra energy to express myself. I was barely functioning.
And... somewhere, hidden in there, was limitless possibility.
Two years ago I had a(nother) health crisis. I was so sick that I barely got out of bed for a month or two. When I finally realized I needed to get help, I couldn’t walk a single block. I actually had to move to a special living facility for 6 months.
And... somewhere, hidden in there, was limitless possibility.
My energy was extremely low. I had a laundry list of symptoms, as long as my sad, weak arm. If someone asked me what my symptoms were then, it would take me 30 minutes to list them all. Primarily because there were so many, and also because I had severe brain fog, so it was hard to remember them all!
And... somewhere, hidden in there, was limitless possibility.
My hair was falling out in clumps. I couldn’t sleep for more than 5 hours at a time without nightmares. I was gaining weight while barely eating. I kept injuring myself doing the simplest things- walking or bending over. Almost every food gave me a bad reaction, so my diet was ridiculously limited.
And... somewhere, hidden in there, was limitless possibility.
I wanted desperately to be starting my new business, but I couldn’t think clearly or stay awake long enough. I was a mess. Not even a hot mess. Just a plain, sick, depressed mess.
And... somewhere, hidden in there, was limitless possibility.
There are innumerable autoimmune diseases with similar symptoms. I won’t go into my diagnoses here. But I will proudly tell you that for the past two years, I have been working more and more deeply with my body, my nervous system, my old energetic patterns, and my mindset. True to my nature, I’ve also been exploring the healing role of pleasure and sensuality.
Now I have a more profound connection with my body. I’ve seen and learned things that shifted my entire outlook on life. I’ve become stronger than ever. And I’ve developed a set of practices and perspectives that bizarrely, almost magically, have opened up a world of vibrant health and joy.
Now I work out at the gym about 3x per week. I walk a mile or so almost daily. I laugh and create and connect as much as I desire. I get to dance and work and play and travel. I have an amazing relationship with my partner. I go out and eat yummy things and live a deliciously full life. I am embodying that limitless possibility!
SO… I’m officially an optimist. I sure as hell didn’t feel like one for many of the days/weeks/months/years when I was sick. There were innumerable days when I didn’t think I’d ever get better, and some when I just wanted it all to end.
I felt like sharing all of this to:
🥳 celebrate how far I’ve come!
🌅 say to anyone who’s feeling low, helpless, hopeless, or at war with their body: somewhere, hidden in wherever you are, is limitless possibility.
I still have days with minor symptoms. And I still have days when I get the blahs. But they’re few and far between, and I know exactly how to relate to myself in those times and how to turn things around. I actually use those times now to get stronger, healthier, and more tuned in to my whole true Self.
My work is to guide people in pleasurable ways to activate their own natural, body-based superpowers. And now it’s even more fun, because I have a super-charged set of skills and tools that I’ve seen work for me and many others.
It’s my joy to encourage and support anyone who’s ready in claiming their own radiant health, authentic joy, epic relationships, and ecstatic pleasure. IT’S TOTALLY POSSIBLE, FOR YOU TOO.💫
