Slowing Down, Laying Low
October. For me, the month of transition from summer to winter. When the universe tells me it's okay to slow down for a spell, in fact, PLEASE slow down a bit. Get a hold of yourself. Get a hold of something or someone warm and comfy. Spend less money. Eat less. Nest. Prepare upstairs healing space for receiving clients. Watch some movies. Build a fire. It's okay to say no. Saying no to some things is saying yes to me. Taking care of myself. Caterpillar goes into a cocoon, comes out a butterfly in spring.
I got the message. I'm slowing down. I'm saying no to things. I'm on the fence about Diversion and Polyween, but my first thought right now is no. If it becomes a yes, I want the yes to come from the right place. From an inner knowing that it's where I'm supposed to be. That it's really a yes for ME, not for someone else.
I am saying yes to taking care of myself. I'm saying yes to motorcycle class this weekend, to house/dog-sitting next weekend, to doing my seasonal fast somewhere around Samhain (which now feels more right than it did at Equinox), saying yes to SantaCon. I'm saying yes to a small handful of people for now, but not every and anything that comes up. There's power in choice. And I'm making my choices a little more carefully right now. Laying low.
So if I say no to you in the next few months, don't take it personally - know that I'm taking care of myself and the butterfly you'll see in spring might just say yes, if you ask again.
