A dragonfly rests on my shoulder, night and day. (My guy is green, with lovely multi-colored wings and my freckles showing through!) He reminds me that everything is gonna be okay. In the jewel tones of his iridescent wings, I see the light that lives in all of us reflected there. It is the light of Spring, the light of growth, the light of Life. The time of hibernation is almost done...even if Phil did see his shadow. Both my heart and my body want to lighten things up!
I like feeling comfortable in my own skin. I love to embrace all the beauty of the physical body and relax into bliss. Soak in the tub. Dance. Exercise. Sweat and stretch.
As my body is transforming with raw foods and Pilates and yoga, I find my relationship with it is changing. My body is strong and flexible. It can do so much more than I used to believe! My body deserves love and care. Clean, live food and pure water. My body is divine and worthy of my devotion to its health and well-being. I love to dress in things offering comfort and softness to my skin...I like the way the fabric feels when it moves against my skin. I felt inspired by Rainbeau Mars to develop my own daily rituals to care for my own body and my own beauty.
My face now is not the face I beheld in the mirror when I was younger. Sometimes, I find that my skin hangs better from my bones and my features stand out more. I am still learning to love the face I see now in the mirror... (I have looked at this face for so long, I don't know if I have ever truly "seen" myself.)Soon, it will be time to show my face, to let the dragonflies dance, let them touch me and to allow their message to really sink in...and then let my light shine!
I look forward to dragonfly weather...the bright sun and the blue sky and the warmth that comes with Spring on my skin. It is a reminder to me that I am indeed a part of Life here on our Mother Earth and I have my place in the Grand Scheme of Things!

I'm feeling the "dance of the dragonfly", too!
(Hope to talk to you, soon...)

The energies are moving and new life is coming in! It is good to embrace the last bits of hibernation and take the good things to Spring!
Hope we connect!
love and hugs,

Do you really have a dragonfly on your shoulder?
It scares me when I look in the mirror too long.....the transformation happened awfully fast. I need to go back to yoga. Kisses
Yes, I have beautiful tattoo on my shoulder to cover a scar...personal vanity. The mirror can be so scary some days. Is it just me or is it a girl thing...some days I feel great and other days I feel "fat" or "ugly" or "old." I don't know yet what that's all about...
Yoga is cool! So is Pilates--9 years and going strong. :)
Hugs and Kisses
Marnie, I have a dragonfly right on top of my shoulder too! That's so coincidental.
Really? How cool!
Dragonflies are awesome. :)
