November 14, 2011 - What You Imagine is Real

I just got married.  Yup.  Married.  To myself.

A lot of people who know me probably are wondering WTF is she blathering about but I have to tell you, marrying yourself is probably the biggest commitment you can make in life.  I stood up in front of a crowd of people and declared myself not just "okay" but amazing.  Not to sweeten my ego or give myself props in order to feel good, but because I meant it.  I shared my victories and shared my vulnerabilities and did it out of absolute love and trust in myself.  If I can't love myself unconditionally, with compassion, who the hell would?

  The brides and our mentors arriving for ceremony - we had a fab spa day first!

My life is blessed in so many ways I lose count.  The people I love, the people who love me, the beauty of this planet, being able to do what I love in life....the list goes on and on.  Sometimes when I'm alone and thinking "this sucks," I remember that I'm really never alone.  I'm surrounded with love.  I just need to open my heart and my eyes and look.

Long ago, I imagined one day I would be in a place where I was at complete peace and acceptance of myself.  What I imagined is real.  As I reach for further goals in life in my acting career, in my personal relationships, I repeat that mantra.  What I imagine is real.  Live in the moment and feel it.
