the girl in the yellow supercape

last weekend i treated myself to a solo retreat. and i had planned to write all about it in this week's blog post.

but i realized that i wasn't yet finished. processing, synthesizing, and digesting the experience.

so i've decided to wait another seven days. to let the epiphanies sink in a bit more. to fully appreciate the insightful clarity i have gained.

which left me searching for an alternative for today's topic. i sifted through a few brewing ideas, one by one dismissing them all.     and then i saw her . . . the girl in the yellow supercape.     she was running confidently down the sidewalk. seemingly assured of her apparent superpowers.

i was so struck by the fleeting yet poignant scene, unfolding before my eyes, that i didn't think to take a picture until she was almost out of sight.    

    i remember being that little girl. i remember skipping down the street, carefree and happy. completely aware of my unique abilities and my audacious dreams. wholly in touch with myself and my environment.

however, as it often happens along the journey of life, some of the confidence ebbed. a few of the abilities grew rusty. there were sad days mixed in with the happy. and several dreams were altered or erased. the supercape became a fleeting image.     but guess what?

i am consciously devoted to recapturing the girl in the yellow supercape.

• by only engaging in activities that delight me

• by revising my path whenever i hit a wall

• by boldly pursuing my dreams and not giving up

• by believing in myself and displaying genuine grit

• by listening to my thoughts, feelings, behaviors

• by living on purpose and making each day count

• by trusting in my creativity and originality

  i imagine that yellow supercape flowing behind me, with each breath that i take.    

    have you ever lost sight of the girl in the yellow supercape? how did you (or will you) rediscover her?

please share share share your heroic adventures with me!         [maxbutton id="1"]
