Best Friend
It all begins with an idea.
I want a best friend. Do I have one? Or two or three? Yes. But we don’t see each other often. They live far away or are busy with work, home and relationships. The best friend I want is the kind you can’t get rid of. They come over in the morning, afternoon, evening, and we have sleepovers! We go shopping or camping or hiking or swimming or take our kids to the park. We both have kids but we want to be kids too! Yes we are responsible but we want to have fun too! We want to do crafts, paint, play music and dance! My best friend is my partner in life. We may have relationships or are married but we love spending time with our best friend. If this is you—please respond!
The Story of the Snake & My Inner Child Meditation
The Story of the Snake & My Inner Child Meditation
My favorite park I used to visit in childhood had a bamboo area that felt like a bamboo ‘cave’ to me. I loved it in there so much. It would stay shady and cool on a hot day.
One day I was in the grass at this park, and I saw what I told my mom was a ‘lizard.’
It was actually a snake.
A rattlesnake.
The snake was curled up in the grass napping in the warm sun. I pet the snake lightly and admired its beauty.
In the meditation, I was at this park, with the snake again.
I realized that I wanted to be with the snake. I enjoyed its beauty, its energy, and how it absorbed the sun’s warmth.
I wasn’t aware of its toxins.
I wanted to be with the snake, in the sun on the warm grass because the snake was so beautiful.
This describes my interpersonal relationships. I want to be with people, friends, or partners. I enjoy their energy and see them as beautiful.
But I am not always aware of their toxins.
I see the good in the snake and in people.
I felt that I wanted to help the snake, keep it company just be around the snake because I loved its beauty and how different it was from me.
With the people in my life, I want to help them by being around them and giving them my good, positive energy too.
I felt good about making this connection within myself and I have always seen this as a beautiful moment in childhood.
My mother responded in fear telling me “That’s a rattlesnake!”
She was afraid, but I wasn’t.
The funny thing is. I am pretty sure I knew it was a snake. I just didn’t want my mom to be scared. She didn’t like snakes and I knew she would tell me not to go near it.
But I love snakes. And I love people no matter what they have inside of them that could be dangerous to me.
And this is what is beautiful.
About me.
I am not afraid. To love.

It all begins with an idea.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
