Today's writing comes to you from an Instagram post I wrote, because I'm experimenting with different formats for this daily writing.
I’m a stand for new possibilities.

Yes, in some ways this is just another cute #queercouple selfie. (And hell yes, double click to show your love for #queerromance). And, this shot from the most beautiful and magical #queer and #transwedding was also about so much more.

I’m a stand for new possibilities — for creating new ways of being in our bodies, ourselves and with each other. This wedding, themed “A Celebration of Glittering Hedonism” lit my heart on fire. I felt, in an embodied way, a taste of new possibilities that I want for the world, myself, my clients and my communities.

My #QueerBodyLove business is essentially me, offering myself, my philosophy, my values, my presence and love to the world. And this past weekend, I both felt the most recent fruits of the personal/spiritual work I’ve been doing within myself, and also saw, in action, how another couple with similar values actively doing the work of creating a partnership and love “that feeds” has inspired and strengthened new ways of being, deep connections and community.

That’s what I want, for myself and for you.

Here are my invitations, for myself, and for you.
*
I vow to listen to myself and do my own work so I can sit with you as you do yours.
*
I will say no so I can say hell yes. Own my beauty and power. Invite support. Offer myself fully. Soften with my self-judgment. Open my heart. Let go of what no longer serves me. Rewrite my stories. Sit in my discomfort. Soften with it. Tell the truth. Be with myself in a new way that creates space for us to see what is alive between us.
This is one entry in the November Queer Body Love daily blog writing, where I will be exploring through writing what I see, think, pray, and question. I don’t know what liberation looks like, but I want that for you, and for us. This blog is me sharing a personal practice of being with the question of what that might look like in the hopes that it might be useful. If you're interested in personal support from me as your guide as you explore that in your own body and life, check out my newest 1-on-1 offering, SOFTEN. I can sit with you with so much love and compassion as you orient in the direction of more ease and comfort in your body and with yourself. Together we'll take a stand for new possibilities.
