Did You Know That You’re A Diva?

One of my absolutely favourite people on the internet is the truly beautiful Jamie Ridler. She shines a light so bright that she attracts creative souls from across the globe to join her in wishcasting, dreamboarding, and soul-reflecting – she is teaching us how we can let our creative selves sparkle.

Last year, I made a big commitment to myself and my creativity – I joined Jamie’s creative coaching programme, Circe’s Circle. It was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions I ever made, and I felt like I began to see myself clearly as though for the first time.

This year, Jamie has launched a new site Creative Dream Journals which is being written collectively by Circe’s Circle alumni, and I am so honoured to be contributing to this amazing project. My first post is called We Are All Divas and it’s up today – I would so appreciate it if you would pop over there, have a read and leave a comment. Here’s the opening paragraph to tempt you…

When you step onto the stage of lila, you have a choice. You can drag yourself across the stage like you have been mixing Quaaludes with alcohol, or you can step into the universal spotlight like a great diva. The stage is set; the roles have been cast. In experiencing the passion of lila, the first step is to take command of the stage that is your life and develop a stage presence that embraces the fullness and complexity of your role on the stage of maya. ~ Darren Main

I read these words yesterday and they struck home. Like an arrow that has found its mark, these words penetrated my heart and reverberated around the house of my soul. It was one of those moments where you sense that you have been seen. Truly seen. Now, these words follow me from room to room. They are tracing my footsteps, tugging at my shadow, mirroring the rise and fall of my breath. And I find myself wondering in those moments where my movements are occupied with preparing the dinner, making the beds, retrieving the mail, “What would it be like to command the stage that is my life? To step out into the universal spotlight? To develop a stage presence of a great diva?”

I look forward to seeing you over there, and while you’re there, I highly recommend that you check out the posts from all the other creative dreamers – divas every one!
