It's been a minute. A long one at that. We have missed you.
Our MIA-ness at the end of this year was not planned. It was definitely not intended or even wanted. However, for all of us here at Three Trees Sway, 2019 went out with a bang. Not like the colorful light up the sky fireworks kind. It has been more like tripping over a bunch of shit that has been left on the floor that you meant to pick up but were too busy taking care of a your long list of responsibilities that you just can't get away from and then you fall into a table crowded with a absurd amount of delicate breakables that create a horribly loud rukus when you fall into them and you end up on the floor not being able to move or you'll cut yourself on the glass so you need to try some weird circus freak sort of position to get yourself out of the mess only to have to clean it up because, of course, nobody else will.
Anyone relate?
For our family, this year proved itself to be one of growing pains. I guess every year has it's share of challenges and lessons. We are always growing. This year though.......it kicked our asses. It seemed to double down on the insistence for growth. Like ignoring or pushing through just wasn't an option anymore. It felt as the though the Universe was basically saying "I am not fucking around anymore. You say you want more joy and love and all the good stuff. Well then, there is some shit that has to go. Let go. Make room. Step up. Chill out. Let the good stuff in. Make the hard decisions. Have the difficult conversations. Love yourself, dammit. Like don't just say it. Do it. Now. BOUNDARIES PEOPLE. And again, just in case you didn't hear me the first time, I am really not fucking around.".
To sum up the lessons we've been learning just doesn't feel possible right now. That would be way too black and white or cut and dry and, if we have learned anything from the last decade it is to cut that crap out.
What we can tell you, with open hearts and hard earned confidence, is that we are here for it. The fog is lifting. Clarity is showing itself. Whatever it looks like, we are showing up. We are staying open. And, as always, we will have each other's back.
We have heard you, Life. Loud and clear. Thank you.
Held with a light grip in one hand so we have room to catch and hold all the newness that is to come, here is what we are bringing into 2020.........
More Three Trees Sway
Sounds simple but embodies so much more.
More of what we know to be true
More time bending
More exhales
More rest
More laughing
More nourishment
More yoga
More bread
More friendship
More love
More choice
More staying present
More being ok with what is
More allowing what is to come
More celebrating it all
This journey, the good and even the really hard stuff, feels led and blessed.
Here we come 2020. We are ready to sway with you.
Love, Bec
