This month I have been celebrating 4 years since launching my private practice and dedicating my time & energy to building somatic s*x positive embodied communities for women!
I think it is so typical of women to focus on what has to be done, the to-do lists and always looking forward most often about the needs of our loved ones. I see women around me living sandwiched in-between taking care of children & aging parents. Pleasure has become a privilege, not a priority. We almost never pause, take a deep breath down to our p***y and fully appreciate just where we have been. I have a friend who often stops and reminds me often of this. Get yourself that kind of ride or die friend, we ALL need one! I’m certain she is smiling as she reads this.
When I finally allow myself a moment, I am a bit astounded at just how I have recrafted my entire life in every possible way over the past 4 years. I have had endings, beginnings, I’ve moved through the in-betweens and feel more grounded than I have ever been in my life. I can handle disappointment, repair when needed, I’ve let others show up for me, I see my vulnerability as a strength instead of a liability. I know the taste and feel of intimacy. I’m learning new things & growing in ways I never imagined possible in midlife.
What I do, what I believe and what I want are all in alignment. That’s the secret sauce.
I have had the experience recently of a long ago acquaintance not recognizing me. That I “look great, just what am I doing?” It was more than just the darker hair color, my face is softer, my eyes shine and I speak from a grounded space. My excitement about the future is palpable.
I am happy. This is what happy looks like.
My invitation to you today, slow down, take that breath, look at where you have been and make your pleasure the priority today, not a privilege.
Wishing you much love & pleasure this summer!
Christie ❤️
