Mii amo... In progress...

Woohoo! I think I found my Yin. In high school I had a nickname that I created a logo for. At the end of my nickname I would always draw the Yin & Yang symbol. I still have examples of my work in storage. I’ll have to dig them up and take photos to share. I even created t-shirts and sweatshirts with my design. :) I’ve always been creative and enjoyed expressing myself that way. On my refrigerator I have a list of foods that tonify (balance) my Yin from my acupuncturist. Those types of foods are what chill/calm us. I’ve always been high strung, ambitious, and entrepreneurial. Finding balance to that energy has been a challenge I’ve been consciously trying to conquer in the past year. I think part of my challenge has been not using proper outlets to release this excitable energy. I’ve changed my diet and lifestyle to learn how to achieve this balance. I haven’t succeeded fully yet, but I’m learning a holistic and lasting way that will eventually become a part of me. I’m on my way. :)

Recently I met someone that I believe creates that balance for me on a mental and physical plane. I truly enjoy engaging with this person. We don’t rush our interactions. We talk honestly and deeply about anything and everything. Our time together has been scarce due to present temporary circumstances, but magical, thoughtful, and immensely fulfilling. I truly hope that I get to experience this person a lot more in my life. There are no limits to the distance I would go to reconnect with this Yin. I will practice patience and continue working on myself while we create ideal circumstances for reconnecting. No matter the outcome, I will always cherish the time we have already spent together and the value added to my life.

Out of curiosity, while typing this, I just looked up Yin and Yang (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yin_and_yang) and love the explanation, especially, “Yin yang are not opposing forces (dualities), but complementary opposites that interact within a greater whole, as part of a dynamic system”. That is exactly how I feel about this person. We are definitely opposite, but we complement each other. I think that creates a healthy and balanced relationship which also opens the doors to growth and thriving if we continue supporting each others’ energy. I want more of this, especially now that I know it’s possible. Not a lot of people can fully handle or accept who I am, but I think this person can. I’m so excited about the present and future. Every thing, every thought, every experience, every person are all in alignment, even if they are opposing they are all complementary. Nothing is random, even when I try to be spontaneous. It is a magical place to be in life. :)

Ever grateful,
