I DO

“I do” is about walking away from what no longer serves you. I like to call this phase the beginning of the in-between. The in-between is about experiencing your life between the death and rebirth phases. We emphasize being reborn again or experiencing the death cycle, but we rarely speak about what it takes to get to our rebirth phase and what it takes to walk away from our death. The in-between is the present moment. We are either reminiscent of or anticipating the future or the past. The present moment, the now, helps us stay grounded through the storm.

The vines are burdens of our past or the future that has yet to happen. I intentionally wanted vines instead of any other object because we have the freedom to do what we will. Those vines appear when we give our power and control away to people, places, and things. The vines do not tie around the ankle, but they are a reminder that although you walked away from an old narrative that no longer resonates with you, do you understand why those burdens cannot travel and accompany you moving forward?

The yellow represents our solar plexus chakra. Our solar plexus chakra is the ability to have self-control and the confidence to see our reality and how it's influenced by our perspective. It takes more than just acknowledging our past. To do better, you have to understand better. It is easier said than done. However, just taking that one step forward can make all the difference.
