THIS IS SPAARRRTAAAAA

I walked out on my deck and was startled by not one, but two gigantic eight-legged creatures. No really. GIGANTIC. About the time I noticed them, a water drop from the edge of the roof landed on my bare shoulder. Guess how loud I yelped. I proceeded to successfully murder both of them with about a half-gallon of bug spray. One bee-lined for the open kitchen window. IT KNEW. I ran inside to shut the window then proceeded to kill the damn thing until it was dead. From the killing. Fucker. Don’t mess with me. My fear and hatred of those god damn things knows no bounds.  Now I’m sneezing and the house is filled with the smell of chemicals.  I have to wash the outside of the house and keep Molly off the deck for awhile.  Worth it.

Say yes

From Fig Ally, because she is the fucking shit.  October, 2014.

With any luck there comes a time in your life at least once if not several times, when an invitation to move into grace and turn your life inside out and begin again arrives directly in your heart addressed specifically to you. With divine gumption you say yes.

You say yes despite not knowing what the road or roads will look like, what the story is that will unfold, what will be left of the you that you know, what the world at large may assume about you (unstable, irresponsible).

You say yes because saying no is as painful as a sword in your side, a nail on the bottom of your foot, because deep down your soul whispers “please change, please grow”.

When you say yes full well knowing that you don’t do well with change, that you don’t handle messy well, that you don’t feel ready … you say yes simply because divine grace has asked you to take the same leap of faith she did when she created you and set you forth into this universe.

May you be asked to jump into messy, to leave familiar, to be brave, to be vulnerable … may you know when and how to say yes to the grace that is change.

With great love I am on that uncertain road waiting for you.

Have Never

Two massive pet peeves of mine.

Have –

Example – “I’ll have Renee do that.”  Oh … will you?  Because I am yours to command?  How about you ASK Renee to do that.   Saying you’ll “HAVE” me do something makes me feel like you believe I have no choice in the matter.  We all have free will.

Never –

Example – “You never got back to me.”  Really?  NEVER?  How was that trip to the end of infinity and back? OH WAIT.

How about “You haven’t gotten back to me” or “I haven’t heard back from you.”
