The annual Folsom Street Fair was over the weekend. I joined the hosts of YUMmy and their crew with the intention of stepping out of my introverted self in order to build my tribe. In separate discussions with a few new acquaintances, and hopefully budding friendships, it was wonderful to see how generally supportive the women were to making the world a much more positive experience for other women.
Although they did not initially know each other like the other thelma & louise series, I met two authentically fabulous women. Both have not only made the best of their past situations but also have followed their bliss in living out their passions. Pixie has made an entire hobby/career of living on the edge, not knowing what is in store each day, for the last 4.5 years, and trusting the universe to provide for her adventures. She truly hypostatizes carpe diem when she resolutely walked up to volunteer for a flogging demonstration in public at the fair. It was only later that I found out that she has never been flogged. One day I hope she writes a book of all her moments of happiness.
Krystle serves as a reminder to me that sometimes we fall into things that turn out to bring us joy. She pursued that joy to complete her various certifications in yoga and paddle board yoga. Both have managed and/or are creating ventures in order to finance their international travels as well. In their lessons to me, I am reminded of my plan in the girl with the dragon tattoo. They provided me a quick kick in the arse that while the universe has held me here to explore and discover my tribe, I should continue to follow my compass towards grey hat. Full of such vivacious energy for life, they both embody such courage, love and inspiration.
