Dear Beautiful Friend, 
I'm writing you/myself a permission slip (although you obviously don't need my permission). And, I hope you might write your own from time to time. On this 5th day of April, 2019, with the new moon in Aries, you/I have permission to: 

* Go easy & be gentle with yourself
* Get nothing done today
* Let some things go
* Say no, yes, maybe or- I don't actually know
* Write poems into the wee hours of the night or before the sun rises
* Look up at the stars and breathe
* Take a bath & light candles
* Draw a bath for someone you love
* Be kind to yourself when you mess up
* Mess up often and forget things
* Not do anything
* Get nothing 'productive' done
* Dance in the kitchen
* Slow down & eat mindfully in the kitchen
* Cook a healthy dinner or not cook dinner
* Eat popcorn for dinner
* Be your beautiful, unique self
* Feel scared
* Feel shame 
* Feel sad
* Feel all the feels
* Feel and make space for the different parts & energies within you
* Honor those parts like there's no tomorrow
* Feel like a loser or feel like a winner
* Leave projects undone
* Allow things to happen in their own time
* Feel uncertain or feel clear
* Take breaks from technology
* Say no to things that drain the mother-f'ing life out of you
* Let people down- yes even people that you love
* Not be good or even be bad
* Forgive
* Go away for a few months 
* Go away for a weekend
* Change jobs or apartments
* Stay put where you are for 30, 40, 50 years
* Be single or choose to be coupled, tripled or...
* Cry a lot
* Laugh really loud
* Not be perfect
* Say, 'meh' and walk away
* Dissolve your life and start all over in a new land
* Be different
* Be friendly
* Be kind & generous
* Be grumpy or nervous or really afraid
* Be broke for a while, or be abundant
* Struggle with health 
* Be vibrant
* Be alone and not want to be seen by anyone
* Be social, confident and outward
* Honor the cycles
* Flow with the tides
* Follow your heart 
* Follow someone else's heart
* Explore different options and ways of doing things
* Tell the whole truth
* Be vulnerable or choose not to share what is sacred & personal
* Be seen or hide away
* Do whatever makes your heart sing
* Experiment with lots of new things
* Be fully YOU: flawed, fabulous, fantastic or temporarily f'd up. It's all good. 
You/ I have my permission.

Thank you to my writing mentor- the talented and singular Jena Schwartz for the inspiration behind this post. You have permission. I have persimmon.
Feel free to add your own permissions by clicking on comments, below.

" You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves."
- Mary Oliver
