September Hippspiration Melody Eshani
So here I am, in a season of reflection and renewal. I have been on such a journey this last year and needless to say, I haven’t always enjoyed the ride. I have been in what seems to be a loop of emotional ups and downs and gains and losses, but through it all I am still here and the parts that remain are because they are meant to be. When I find myself in transitions, I allow myself to go inside, mainly because it feels safest, and more so , because that is my spirit’s way of coming home. I tend to dive deeply into things that draw me in naturally. Those things can manifest themselves in the form of a new artist, music that I love, running my business, or any other thing that speaks to my real self. It is so funny because for years, I have loved the work of this month’s hippspiration, but it is only now that I see why her work spoke to me in the past. In my life, it never fails, that someone or something becomes crystal clear on my path when I really need it. I had already posted a new podcast yesterday, which allowed me to finally articulate what I have been going through to you guys in an audible way, and now this woman, this force, this inspiration . She will give you the other words that I didn’t say. It is my exact message to you and me, it is God speaking. I was in bed and praying to God to give my heart peace, and to show me the way He has planned for me, and stumbled across some videos of her that were like bricks dropping on my head. It was literally as if she was saying all the things I needed to hear, and oddly enough, it happened in the ways that she explains in some of the videos we are sharing here. That when you are doing what you love, you find answers in doing that thing. I love how she speaks about remembering yourself and not doing things that make you forget yourself. I literally have a piece of art I made last year, that says,” there are pieces of me scattered all around, so that I can find my way back to me”. If you are wise enough to watch the videos below, you will see what I mean. She also speaks about God being the ultimate resource, and the way she says it, is like lighting striking the soul. Let’s make sure to support her and other authentic creatives, and to support yourself. I love you all and pray that you don’t waste your magic.
