I smell authentic

"Some change looks negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge." ~Eckhart Tolle~
I dont know if I buy into any of this new age-y wisdom...this Eckert Tolle and Oprah and whoever else serves up the armchair psychology du jour
But....if I have a choice, and I always have a choice.....
I can decide to lean into "I buy this. Kinda. Or at least I think I could buy into this" as opposed to leaning into "What a bunch of bullshit".
And leaning into "I kinda sorta buy into this" totally changes my perspective.
So I await.
For something new to emerge.
Out of the poopy diapers and baby vomit and restraining orders and counselors and lawyers and police officers.
I await.
Hands and heart open.
But NEVER....never are my hands open for a cigarette. Or a martini. Or a rolled up bill.
I am the smell good, behave well grandma.
I smell of sweet pea lotion and cookies and tomato soup.
I behave safe.....and authentic....and solid.
