i trust

I trust
6 x 6 in.

On the heels of a great conversation about trust that lead to a spontaneous outing to a vintage furniture + gift store in West Hollywood, I came across this very old brass figure in the shape of a deer? donkey? dog? horse? Whatever it is I knew that this little fellow needed to come home with me to live in my studio. And I decided that it would forever be a symbol, a reminder of trusting my life even more.

I talk a lot about trust, in my classes and various blog posts over the years. It’s something I’m still working on; trusting that everything is working just as it should, even when I can’t quite see exactly how it is coming together - you know? the days when it feels like it might all be going wrong? In my experience, hindsight always reveals that it was all working out perfectly if I could have just relaxed and enjoyed myself more, instead of fret about the future. What can I say, even though I know this now, and I am getting much better at embracing this concept and making it my default setting, because when I do, life flows easier and I feel so much better; I still hesitate to trust fully and I still need small reminders. 

Enter the tiny character above. I thought if I need reminders, maybe you do to? So I share this with you.

the little fellow is so adorable!
Thank you for such an insightful post. I needed that reminder. :)
maybe a llama? yes, i think we all certainly need a talk about trusting. i loved seeing the wood as the backgound as well.
The perfect reminder to start off my week! Thank you for being you Marisa and sharing all that you do!
yes! a llama or maybe even an alpaca ;)
