The Week of the Free Spirit: Phoenix Festival

This week probably isn't what you think it is, based off of the title.  This week means that we are a good chunk of the way through Phoenix Festival, and we have had a lot of time for confronting our demons and introspection.

This week is about forgiviness, of self and others. This week is about letting go of regrets. This week means that you have confronted hard things for over a month, and now you can learn to feel  at peace with the past, and move toward the future with energy and hope.

This had been a very heavy year for most people I know. This week, know that the past can be a lesson, that it can be a steping  stone or a stumbling block. Find a way this week, to use the lessons of your past to vault you into a wonderful future.

If you feel your imperfections and errors, be kind to yourself. Keep trying, even when you fail. We are all humans and you are not alone.   This weekend I went to a skating show. I thought a lot about how as a figure skater, one of my greatest talents was to fall correctly, so I could quickly get back up and skate on. Sometimes, even I fell horribly and had to stay down for a minute to recover, but eventually, we all skate on.

Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. No one can do it alone. We are a team,  and this week is the part where we begin to dust off the ashes of our past.
