slippin

i climbed out on the ice in my snowshoes to get a picture of john as he climbed an ice waterfall with his axes and spikes. immediately upon stepping on the ice i slipped and fell and slid towards the edge of the cliff. we had just been talking about what to do when you slip on ice - which is take up as much space as you can. i fell and somehow remembered this. i spread out wide and pressed hands, feet, head, everything into the ice, hard. i skidded to a stop right before going over into the abyss. everytime i tried to move though, i slipped again. so i just had to lay there until john came over with his spikes and dragged me off. he took a pic first though, naturally.

it was scary. but i lived.

"... i've been processing what i'd like to leave in the past and what i'd like to use from my past to perfect my present. i definitely want to clean house; ridding myself of comparison, competitiveness, and jealousy. i especially want to leave behind any negative feelings towards women. i want to take my great love and admiration for my sisters and develop that into feelings of respect and support for all women working hard and doing their thing. i've always been easily happy for the success of others and i want to keep that with me and expand it even more, allowing it to strengthen and bolster these feelings of female empowerment.
i want this to show up in action by putting my gifts to use creating and facilitating spaces for women to grow and connect - through activity, through vulnerability, through humor, through adventure, through nature and through yoga. these are all building blocks in who i am and have been foundational in building healthy change in my life. i know that this combination works and i want to do my very best to share it with others.
i want to be kind. i want to be a liker not a hater, a supporter not a detractor, a positive force to move things forward, knowing that we area ll connected and when one succeeds we all benefit! aho!"
