I don’t know what to write. I am speechless.

For one who encourages women to speak out, speak loud and take bold action, speechlessness seems somewhat of a contradiction!

AND…

There are times when only silence will do.

A time to literally hold your horses.

A time to wait for the muddy water to clear itself.

A time to go within to consult with your Wild Soul.

A time to be still, do nothing and discern.

I’ve been running at such a pace I’ve given myself spiritual jet lag and the only wise thing to do to recover is to do nothing; be silent and still.

How else can I hear myself in all the clatter?

How else can you hear yourself too?

My word for 2023 is ‘Visibility’ and, I could have of course guessed, this morning’s resistance to being visible hit me big time. Like a smackeroo between the eyes.

Anti-life gremlin thoughts and feelings took me to the edge of that dark place, ‘What’s the point!’

Yeah, that one…

And the only thing to do was to breathe and be silent and ask for guidance…

Then I realised how I give myself way too much to do so I don’t have time to focus on prepping stuff to raise my profile. The other ‘stuff’ is far too important to put aside!

How clever is that?

And…

I compare myself unfavourably with others achieving visibility. I make myself not good enough ergo not deserving of being visible.

OR…

I hold them in contempt, not wanting to be as manipulative and as dramatic as I see them being; selling their souls.

If I hadn’t gone speechless… If I hadn’t purposefully stopped and gone to silence so I could listen, I would be following my resistance like a headless chicken instead of becoming aware of it.

Instead, I enabled awareness, one of the top vertebrae in the backbone of Down and Dirty Spirituality. For, without the #1 step of awareness, you can’t start changing a damn thing for the better.

What about you?

What would you love to be or do that’s not happening?

Remember, there are times when only silence will do…

Love and wild warm wishes…

Sharon Eden, The Wild Elder

You are perfect imperfection
A divine light that yearns to shine.
So shine, woman, shine!

PS… I’m looking for 3 women to pilot my 9-week Down and Dirty Spirituality School launching this April. So you can wake with excitement for the day ahead which means your life’s enriched with meaning, purpose and SHAZAM! BTW I throw the SHAZAM in as a bonus…

The only qualifications you need are to be spiritually curious and abso-freakin-lutely love growing yourself!

Don’t have the special Beta fee for it yet or a start date but, as I’m only looking for 3 women, let me know if, in principle, you’d not only love to be one of these special women, but you’d fight your way to the front of the queue if you had to! Email me now…
