The Pink Project 2.0

 Let me bring us back to the topic at hand- (I got a little off track in my last post with my "state-of-the-fine-arts-in-colleges address.") So here we are- currently trying to nail down exactly what my BBL project is. 

“It sounds like you’ve already finished your Pink Project, so now what?”

Welp, that was a shocking statement. But it HAD been an astonishing emotional clearing session with the fabulous Dana Evans. (What is emotional clearing? That sounds like a great topic for another blog entry!) I had channeled Ivy, and I mean, I HAD CHANNELED IVY. It was similar to Whoopi Goldberg channeling Demi Moore in that famous scene from Ghost. (That scene is kind-of gross if you think about it. Patrick Swayze was actually getting hot and heavy with Whoopi’s gnarly red manicured fingers that whole time.) Now that I’ve given away my age with a “Ghost” reference (any other Xennials in the house!?) Let me bring you back to my conversation with Ivy.

Picture me on a zoom call with ten other women, and Dana Evans says, “I want to have a conversation with Ivy.” So I pull a classic Jekyll-and-Hyde (Has anyone seen the musical where he sings that song, “Confrontation?” It was basically like that.) Ok, enough with the 90s references. (Or geeky musical theatre references.) Anyway, she’s questioning Ivy, having a full-on conversation with her, asking her about my project for BBL (p.s. THIS is my project, y’all, this blog.)

After I leave my spirit trance, and return to the land of the living- (talking to Ivy is like talking to an oracle, I swear, she’s clairvoyant!) Dana casually mentions that since the original intent of my project was to get to know Ivy, to make decisions by asking her questions, and to have conversations with her- since I’m already doing all of that- well, what am I going to do for my project now?

You guys- it took me all of two seconds to get in touch with my inner voice. Mostly, I realized that as a sacral decision maker, I ALREADY was in touch with Ivy. I just needed to start engaging with her. It was quick, and it was easy. And that’s not a bad thing! Except that I was left without a BBL project...

At the start of the program, Dorothy (have we all clicked on the link, and figured out that Dorothy is the name of my life coach? Cuz maybe it’s just easier to refer to her as Dorothy from now on) had us rank all of the different areas of our lives. Spirituality got the lowest ranking from me. 3/10. And it only received those three points because I had recently read, “A Journey of Souls” on Dorothy’s recommendation, and that had renewed some of my old interests in tarot, crystals, and the like. Before that, in my adult life, I considered myself culturally Jewish and an atheist (more on that in my next couple blog posts.)

So I decided to tackle my spirituality. For the next six months, I will focus on figuring out my beliefs (and belief system.) Each month, I'll research a different religion, and read a different book. Each week, I'll explore a different modality- (for example, so far I’ve tackled tarot, human design, and yoga.) This month I’m focused on Buddhism, since that one calls to me the most. And I’m still going to be blogging and using Ivy to guide me through it all. So yes, you’ll see this blog shift- from a pink project, to a broader spirituality project. Get excited!
