How Do I Shake Off the Valley Girl Blues?

Today, I find myself in the valley. I guess you can say that I have the valley girl blues. How could this be? This month so far has been brilliant. But now, I shiver under what feels like a wet blanket, and I feel lost.

After a fantastic day of writing and working on music, ending the night with a kick-ass rehearsal with Mayfield Records House Band, I went to bed on cloud nine. Literally floating into sleep. Yet, here I am.

We’ve all been in the valley before. Some of you may be in it now, like I am. So, I don’t have to tell you that it’s not a fun place, and most of us would default into panic. That was my first inclination. 

As I peek from under the wet blanket, all I can see are shadows of doubt blocking Purpose. So, I retreat. Scared, but not panicked, and I allowed my self to do nothing. I drank some coffee, watched mindless TV, took a long warm bath, that did nothing for the chill by the way, and I rested. Mind. Body. Soul. 

Now, as I write this, I’m still here. In the valley. The discomfort is palpable. I don’t like it. But, there’s no struggle for control. However, there is a lucid dream of the warmth of sunlight. Of the dawning of a new day. This makes me thankful for the shivering. The discomfort is breeding will that will soon morph into power. 

So I rest. In the Magenta seat of my Soul. Again. And, I accept the cooling, because it’s giving me strength to return to Purpose.

This strength beckons to us all. The strength that you pull from the solar plexus, the will. The strength that you draw down from the heart chakra to feel your own love. And, you reach down into the sacral, where passion lives, and you use this combined energy to sling shot you out of the valley, and back into what you know you’re here to do.

Let’s do this together. Closing the eyes with palms touching, igniting the full rainbow spectrum, and we say … 'We got this! See you up top.' 

You are never alone in the Valley. We are in this thing called living … together.
