three days plus thirteen wild women plus the ocean plus sunlight plus the moonlight plus food as art plus one bonfire plus bra-burning plus music plus dancing plus one pink wig equals something like a lovebomb.
I felt a little like I hit the jackpot. I showed up wondering if there was room for me. I mean, really. would there be a place for me? plus, how was I going to hide from all those cameras? that's a whole different story. let me tell you, I failed. miserably, gloriously. I let go. I am letting go. I plan on doing more of the letting go.
and in my letting go, I made space for more.
oh hula, how i saw and adored you the entire time....
ReplyDeleteand honey, your letting go was/is a wide, open, expansive gift.
hooray for letting go! your flickr shots of this getaway are amazing. how wonderful for you all. this girl is a wee bit envious.
ReplyDeleteyou're like quiet magic. I loved just watching you. with your funky camera. with your loving laugh. doing the running man to vanilla ice. i'm so glad we met.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a lot of fun.....I hope you will share more!
ReplyDeletehow profound your statement of letting go and finding more. that really resonated with me.
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible experience for all of you... I hope to someday experience a trip just like it! Rock on with letting go... I'm amazed at what I receive when I let go!
ReplyDeletexo,
Carmen
i'm excited for you, man! totally 100% thrilled-let the lovebomb explode...let it shine girl!
ReplyDeleteHula -- I can't tell you what a thrill it was to meet you in person. Really, really.
ReplyDeleteI hope we can (know we will?) get the opportunity to spend more time together in the future. Because, happily, I totally LIKE you. You know?
(Besides -- I'm going to need you to coach me on using my brand new duaflex, so I can make beautiful images like this one, just like you!)
sounds amazing! happy weekend andrea. xox

ReplyDeletealways good to make room for something more....
ReplyDeletebreathe out what is no longer serving you, breathe in what it is you need.
