Try not to hold onto it inside you or predict when it’ll all fly away—just let this sweet hang in the air, let it roll over you, let it live in your body. Do the chores and make the phone calls you’ve been avoiding, then eat ice cream with your lunch. Take the long way home from work. Call your mom, just to see how she’s doing. </span></blockquote><br/> Love it.</p>http://blog.alison-klein.com/post/43407862540http://blog.alison-klein.com/post/43407862540Mon, 18 Feb 2013 12:01:43 -0500I read my horoscope<p><span>&#8220;Creation comes from an overflow, so you have to learn to intake, to imbibe, to nourish yourself and not be afraid of fullness.
