The Mind, Friend or Foe - Day Six Blog Challenge

Showing up daily to write and share publicly opens up a level of vulnerability that brings my writing critic forward.  Inner voices such as: what if I share with my readers my dark shadowy fears, won't they just unsubscribe? or  Oh my gosh, they will find out what a trauma case I am and realize I have nothing to offer them.   And the voices go on and on.  I guess that's what I'd call mind being foe (just to be clear, foe meaning an enemy or opponent).

I've been enjoying the teachings of Matt Kahn lately.  What most speaks to me in his offerings is to love all that surfaces.  Yes, love it ALL.  With that in mind, let me love my foe also.  And maybe just love it and not psycho analyze it.  Now that's a concept!  Just listen, just witness, just hold space for it.  No story, just hold it.  Hold my foe and rock with it in my arms.  I mean, if it wants to talk that's fine.  If it wants to cry or scream, fine too.  But me, my task is, I just hold it, rock it, love it.  Tender tender, I am here for you my dear precious foe.

And to you, my treasured reader, let me offer up a question and invitation.  Have these posts I've been making in this 30 day challenge brought up anything for you?  I'd love to hear what is stirring in you.  Any secret little creative projects lurking in your heart, longing to come forward?
