Recently my foundation feels shaken. In April, I was going along, racing ahead and leveling up in life.

Then suddenly, in May, like a child experiencing a growth spurt, I realized that I had outgrown parts of my life.

Everything suddenly got really uncomfortable, like all of a sudden my shoes are too small.

I attribute this to using BDSM to heal and reclaim my power.

Every time I learn something new, like the #leaflessharness I tied on Sunday, parts of my life don’t feel stable or comfortable any more. I think this is because I’m learning that I am capable and deserving of so much more.

It’s been a frightening revelation, but like the #2ofSwords from the #CozyWitchTarot that I colored during this #NewMooninGemini , I’m learning not be afraid of my new found power, but instead, approach the changes it brings with curiosity.

One way I did this was by sharing a new #shortstory with the public. I shared this story at a couple open mics, but it flopped because the folks at the open mics events wanted to hear music and poems, not short stories.

So this time, I shared my new story at  Telling Tales, an event specifically for writers to read their work.

I was nervous but my story got wonderful reviews and I felt reassured that I had written a good story that’s submission worthy. 

So that’s how I’ve been using the #elementofair lately through #shibari the written and spoken word and exercising curiously to get the most out of this #NewMoon
