(background for this given in september twenty post).
words under her arms read
"& that same evening she said this,
she rode in her car with music up & windows down & felt free!"
~~sending out refreshing winds like spring*ness~~

Love this post Rachel! This has always worked for me! It is a great way to relieve stress! Windows down, music up, and singing at the top of my lungs!! (as long as I am alone in the car! lol)

pain=change...and working your way through the pain with whatever sweet tools work for you is the thing, right ? Here's to music, art, dancing and great tunes !
Happy Monday, oh so talented One !

Oh yes, I agree, window down and music up is soooo refreshing, relaxing, exciting, funny, frolic, freeing - it is so good!

But welcome distress? No, I do not welcome distress! Brrrrrrrrrr no, no! :-)

I love your drawings Rachel!!

Kate said...

Distress-ful times just signify one more thing to get out of the way.... Then you can be done with it!

Ahhh...
love the drawings :)

Hello distress,
I have been avoiding you.
Odd fears wash all over me
when you come around and so
I've sidestepped your path
for far too long.
But you're still here
and I'm grateful for your presence.
Mind if I sit with you for awhile
and listen to your suggestions?
I'm ready to change......
-Jen
(rachel, my soul thanks you for
this gentle nudge towards one of
my teachers)

Oh, those words give me a visual...a memory, of those very times...window down, music up, wind swept, freedom. Thanks for the recall.

You always give me something to ponder...thank you....I usually avoid distress but actually you are right it does alert us that something is amiss.......

Mary said...

I love your art, and your heart!!
And there is something freeing when we look something in the eye and stop avoiding it!!!!

Valentina Harper said...

Super Duper True :)
Windows down and deep breath...

Ah for the nurse that I am, distress is awful. Stress perhaps but distress requires intervention. If one's breathing is stressed, then perhaps we need some oxygen but if it is distressed then we may need intubation. See? I should intervene and take action at "stress" and I just hope I have a very good friend when I reach "distress."

I read about your retreat. How wonderful is that! I always wanted to do that with a select few of my blog friends but they live all over the world.

Enjoy the rest of your week!
