Juliet Lever“Welcome to The Dream Life Diary – Week 28”
DREAM
– Journal entry, Friday 11 November, 4.30pm-
It’s a warm day and I am sitting at Pure Café in Glenelg.
There are girlfriends catching up for coffee next to me, cars calmly driving down Jetty Road and of course, as always down here, there is a steady line of life-loving people happily waiting in line for ice cream at Copenhagen. I have had a beautiful day.
I woke up early, did some breath awareness exercises still laying in bed with Paul and chatted playfully with him.
Then I met up with one of the women coming with me to Bali in exactly 3 months and we spoke excitedly about how much she is looking forward to having a week that isn’t about anyone else but her for the first time in her life!
When I got home Paul and I walked to the beach and swam in the ocean and sunbaked whilst listening to a self-development audiobook.
After we had lunch I felt inspired to go upstairs and paint.
As I tested brushes, mixed colours and allowed my emotions and visuals to spill out onto the pieces of paper I fell into a deep, relaxed and creative trance.
I felt a million miles away. Further away energetically from my life here even than when I was in Bali…
It’s been an interesting journey to integrate back into my life after such a life changing experience as last month.
I think it can be hard to know how to successfully integrate life-changing experiences. I’ve noticed it in people when they do a profound course, or travel somewhere that cracks their soul open, or even experience deep love or heart-break.
We change.
And we don’t know what that change even means sometimes for weeks or even months.
I am different. So different.
But then, aren’t we all?
I mean, the person reading this blog right now, (you) – you aren’t even the same person you were yesterday.
Physically your cells are being replaced every second. In fact, your whole body is entirely different from the body you had 10 years ago (give or take a few years depending on whose research you choose to believe). Every single cell in your body has been completely replaced.
Everything is different all the time…. Which means you can change all of the things that aren’t really you.
You can come back to your canvas, remove some strokes and paint some new colours in your life.
I will be honest, I have had ups and downs since returning home.
I smile, as I notice a storm has just broken out as I wrote that.
There is lightening, dark clouds and rain has broken through the warm summer’s afternoon. The humid air smells sweet as the cool rain hits the warm earth.
And I am reminded yet again, that just like the weather everything changes.
Both inside of us and outside of us, all the time.
Everything is different…All the time.
And that’s perfectly fine.
