Last week I realized that someone I had once considered a good friend, had unfriended me on all of the socials.

My initial reaction was… shock… because I have no idea what caused this final break. Then came feelings of hurt and rejection, which show up in my body as an ache in my heart, solar plexus, and vague nausea in my chest and throat.

But almost immediately I began reflecting on the state of our “friendship” over the last few years. Yes, at one time- we were close. Then, a rift in our original friend group put me on the outside, and I processed a LOT of physical and mental anguish over this event. Supposedly, this person was not “taking sides,” but… she did.

She basically disappeared from my life. She has children around the same age as Zen, and after he came to live with us I fully expected- in fact counted on this person to be here for me and Zen, for Zen to have playmates to grow up with and for me to feel supported by my loving friend. That did not happen. As more time went by, I felt the physical feelings in my body of loss and rejection, by her.

I pulled back. I stopped myself from replying to her posts, but would still “like” the photos of her children, wish her happy birthday online.
I was content that at one point in my life, we cared about each other, and that this was now the state of our friendship- more like acquaintances than active parts of each others’ lives, sending her family well-wishes from afar.

So the unfriending was a shock. I began questioning WHY would I allow this new development to cause me pain? She was no longer a good friend to me, or my family. Nothing changed- she wasn’t there before and she won’t be here now. In fact, I think the unfollowing on all the socials was an act of actively TRYING to cause me pain. Wanting to what- punish me?⁉️

Loyalty ranks high on my list of desirable friendship traits. I know I am a kind, attentive, loyal friend, (also hilarious, grounded, trustworthy, honest, and hella FUN). Why should I expect anything less than what *I* would give in my relationships? I won’t.

That’s the shift. I don’t need to feel pain over this. 💥

I Burlesquercised this week. 😻

After more than NINE MONTHS- the longest time I’ve gone without burlesquercising since early 2019. 🙀

Granted, I technically could have started up again BEFORE now, but… here’s some reasons why I didn’t. (Believe me- I’ve self-analyzed. 😸)

First of all- healing from spinal surgery has been intense! I wasn’t even allowed to lift more than 15 pounds until April. I had to treat my core and back very gingerly, and even after the initial 12 weeks of prospected healing, I was no where close to feeling normal.

Yes- there was normal surgery healing pain, but something else was happening. My body remembered and BRACED for the shocking, shooting pain that I lived with for so long. It was holding on to the memory of that chronic, physical pain, AND WAS WAITING FOR IT TO HAPPEN!!! I had fear! Fear of injuring myself again! Super interesting to notice that, and then work on showing my body that things are different- we’re bionic now, we’re ok!

My right leg/foot was completely numb for about 9-10 weeks. The nerves were still making connections and trying to get back on board. I have feeling in my foot now, thank goddess, but my right leg is definitely weaker than my left. It throws off my balance, and makes dancing a little trickier. I’m addressing this in PT!

I started to doubt my memory. A year ago, I had choreography for easily at least one hundred different songs at my disposal. The longer that time went on, the more I was afraid I wouldn’t remember anything- and that piece turned into avoidance! I’m happy to report that I DID, in fact remember choreography- about 70% success my first session, and 100% today!!! 👏🏻

One final piece… I love Burlesquercise SO MUCH. It has changed my life. It lifts my mood, strengthens and tones my muscles, reminds me how fu***ng hot I am, and always makes me feel more joyful and competent. NOT TO MENTION ITS SO FUN!!! 🤩

Taking this break away from such an important part of my routine for a happy life has been hard. I think part of me avoided starting up again, because I know what that means- devotion. 💖

Recommitting to myself, starting now.

Isn’t it wild that all the stories we’ve been told our entire lives are untrue?
There are no rules.
So what does it matter?
What small rebellion can you choose for yourself today?

So about five-ish years ago, I injured my back, most likely from incorrectly messing with my kettlebell. 🙄

It. Was. Agonizing. Devastating. Torturous.

I assumed that I herniated a disk, from the shooting sciatica pain down my right leg. But the pain was worse than that. There was an excruciating pinching sensation on my lower spine which took my breath away, and it could happen with just about any movement:

-standing -sitting -walking -dancing -stretching -breathing.

I could not escape it. Sometimes it would flare up so badly, I could barely move. It shifted from my R side to my L, then back to the R, then both. The pain and tenderness would force me to stop burlesquercising for months at a time sometimes, hoping it would heal up on its own. It never did.

I told my doctors and with no external checks, no X-ray, they sent me to physical therapy. At PT, I was told I just needed to “strengthen my core,” and shown a bunch of exercises that not only hurt, they didn’t seem to actually help. Again- not one hand laid on my back to check the tenderness, no X-rays, just “strengthen your core.”

So that’s how I lived for over four years. Dealing with it, sucking it up, not realizing how negatively it was affecting my daily life. What else could I do but keep going?

I still danced, walked, did yoga, played at the playground, but always, always in pain. Burlesquercise movements are pelvis and hip heavy, and I thought all of that swiveling HAD to be helping to strengthen my core.

But I was very wrong! 😬

Physical therapy has given me the green light to start trying out whatever exercises I want to. Nerves aren’t all the way on board yet, but I can tell my muscles are starting to wake back up! I’m still working on strengthening core, flexibility, and balance, honestly, but for the first time in a long time, I feel excitement for what else is possible. 💖

I spent a few hours this past week focusing on my favorite subject- ME! 😸✨🥰

In a recent Alchemical Dissolution practice, when asked to go deep inside the psyche and find the one, sparkling, TRUTH of our being, my truth was this:
✨I AM A POTENT, EFFERVESCENT DELIGHT.✨

And ya know, not only is this TRUE, but I needed the reminder, because sometimes life, (or the world), can bring us down.

I AM POTENT, and my potency is not for the faint of heart. My medicine can soothe your soul or poison your senses, but you WILL taste me. 🍎

EFFERVESCENCE means vivacity or enthusiasm, and well, if you’ve ever met me in person… I’m nothing if not vivacious and enthusiastic. 💁🏻‍♀️😸

Last but not least, I AM a motherfu***ng DELIGHT! I bask in delight, I bring delight, I embody delight! Delight in my self, my body, my family, my children, my friends, my home, my circles, my work, the good and the bad, the joy and the sorrow, I am delighted with my LIFE. And no one or no thing can ever take that truth away from me. (Even if I have to be reminded from time to time).

I don’t know if we ever have just one purpose in this lifetime, but I’m pretty sure that at least part of the reason I’m here is to remind the world and those around me what else is possible.

Even in the darkest dumps- potent, effervescent delight is the medicine. 🖤✨🖤✨🖤
