Saying YES.
Editor’s Note: This gem was shared with us at the Cosmic Cowgirls Gathering in April of this year. The incomparable Lynn Johnson led us in a magical session of Saying Yes and improv and theatre. Everyone got into the act – elders, daughters ,cowgirls from all walks of life. It was delightful and very powerful! These are the words she shared with us. ~ Annette Saying Yes means Willingness.

Looking Back Only As Needed
Looking back Is an exercise of re-imagining An examination of story That can trap you in old patterns Or release you into your future self So do it like a sea gull While walking forward Look back only as needed To determine what is wanted.
