Have you seen the meme on facebook? It says something like: Not all storms come to disrupt your life; some come to clear your path. It sounds like what happened to me in the last 6 months, since my last blog, since I shut down my Filthy Pig Boutique.
yeah, I was in the eye of the storm. This storm picked me up like Dorothys house in Kansas and transported me to another place. When I landed, I looked outside expecting certain disaster. Instead I found that I landed on soft ground. Everything changed. My home.my city.my job.my marriage.everything. The storm raged through my life tearing through nonsense, waste, resentment, anger, excess. Raged like a fucking typhoon. Im reminded of the Big Island. Everyday the sun would shine, but at night the rains would come. You could hear it coming down the road like a big truck, bringing tropical downpour. That rain would pound the earth and by morning, all the dust and poop and trouble of the day were washed clean. Promise glistening in the morning sun like dew drops. Thats what happened.
I learned alot about resilience. I took stock of myself. I rested. I relied on the strength of my people. I got strong again. I began a new journey.
Today, I look toward opening my store again. Sharing my thoughts on my blog and sharing my soap and bath products.
another facebook meme I like: the devil says you cant withstand the storm. I told him I am the storm.
with love. K
