“As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.”

Hi everyone,
On a whim, my husband and I decided to book a cute AirB&B at one of our most favorite places: Cape Cod. With vaccinations in full swing and mask restrictions lifting, it seemed like a great time to shake out the long pandemic winter (read: year) and take advantage of s-low season in New England. And heck, what’s not to love about the Cape?
Well, maybe one tiny thing: springtime on the outer Cape is exposed, empty, and cold!
Besides the fact that I was woefully unprepared for the weather, the whole thing was a revelation! Dropping into the emptiness of a town for a week with no real agenda, and allowing life to happen (instead of trying to make it happen), delivered riches beyond our wildest imaginings. Who knew?
There was forest bathing in the rain, birdsong that made us go weak in the knees, dining with foodie friends, soaking up a divine feminine presence (she's everywhere), and riding an e-bike for the first time.
Every day a new adventure. Every day an opportunity to steep in all of it. I felt high for days after we got home. I felt changed. Lighter. More fluid.
The experience was so rich and wild (and even surreal at times) that I wrote about it on my blog, which you can READ more HERE.
I also made a short video, which you can watch it below. Gathering some of my favorite images and putting them to great music goes a long way to integrate experiences like these after they're over. It gives me something to reach for when I feel scattered, or blue. It's not perfect, but it lifts me every time. May it lift you too.
May we all rise to new heights of beauty and wonder as we emerge from this very long pandemic year.
Happy clearing!
Stephanie
(And PS, I hope you know that you do not need to pack a bag and leave home to enjoy some spacious magic. You can experience it right where you are. When you open up to it without attachment, so will it. My post here will give you some ways to play.)
Note: This video looks a lot better on my desktop than what you see here on YouTube. If the choppy transitions bug you, just close your eyes and enjoy Joey Alexander's beautiful rendition of "My Favorite Things." It's flawless. 😉
