Scott,

Thank you for sharing this. It definitely resonates with me. I lost my dad in July of 2006. That month and September as his birthday is in September are always tough for me.

I so love how our lives are about our energy.

I've been focusing more on finding balance and peace. Focusing more on the positive.

Surrounding myself with positive people.

Happy Holiday Scott 💕👐

Thank you so much for this beautiful piece ❤️ It puts me in mind of a line from the poet/artist Morgan Harper Nichols - “Let July be July. Let August be August.” and so on. The holidays are often hard for me, and there is lots going on this year, so I didn’t get to celebrate Thanksgiving. Expecting melancholy and strife during tough times has always been a security blanket for me, a way to steel myself against potential bad outcomes. I like to consider myself a badass person who doesn’t need a security buffer against bad outcomes.

It’s hard but rewarding to show ourselves as fully human, warts and all. Letting go of the things we use to steel ourselves against life, as you so gracefully embody in this piece, is the only way to truly reveal ourselves in a way that allows expansion, peace and growth.

Wishing you a beautiful holiday season! ✨
