once upon a time,
in one of my former lives,
i had a front door that was painted red.
a beautiful uplifting red,
cheery and inviting.
and perfect therapy for those long
(very long) winter months.
just a door.
just some paint.
yet so much more.
a true symbol of what made me happy.
of what allowed me to dream and imagine
and explore my existence.
that red door signified
a welcoming warmth and safety in my inner haven,
a daring sass and grit out in the world.
the way i wanted to be.
so i started following that feeling.
i began living out my red-door adventures.
do you have a small-but-meaningful reminder
that stimulates you to get up and get going?
what are your once-upon-a-time red-door adventures
that you’re wishing were happening in your life now?
THE ARRIVAL can help you begin your journey.
your journey to your core, to your essence.
your journey to whatever in life you are seeking.
arrive at that inviting red door . . .
Retreat no more.
Choose to arrive.
“I love that idea of CHOOSING to arrive – and the idea that a retreat (period of going inward for reflection) can be a way of holding yourself back. The idea that with this course I could be stepping into (arriving at) the life I want. It’s magical even in the words . . . the course will undoubtedly be magnificent.”
(Cathy Cochrane)

“Best wishes to you with the launch of your new course! It seems so fitting to me that you have just begun living your own dream sequence in Villa Magnolia. So many of us have hushed into silence the desire to live the dream. I’m certain that your course will help others to discover as well as to unlock their own destinies. Enjoy! xoxo”

Oh love your red door inspiration! And as always love your poetry…I think you have a book of April’s Essence Poetry in you 😉 I have a cross that my sons gave me, just a necklace I wear daily as it makes me feel like they are with me. I find myself touching it daily, often, when I want to feel safe, comfy and loved.
You make me want to have my stained front door painted red!
what a sweet thing to say, jul’s. (i’ve actually had a book of poems in the works for years. maybe it is time.)
i love the story behind your inspirational piece. feeling “safe, comfy and loved” while thinking of your sons sounds ideal.
Much love and good wishes for this next manifestation of the red door!
My current red door is the Intuition mala I wear – it reminds me that I am always connected to myself in a very deep way, even if I feel disconnected from life and people for a time. It calls me to heed the voice of my intuition on a daily basis, and THAT is the doorway to the life I want to live!
thank you, cathy! 🙂 always connected to self . . . love that your intuition mala creates this important reminder for you.
What a lovely symbol of happiness April, very heartwarming.
For me, I find that inspiration in tiny seeds, especially in Spring, as I’m a gardener, but also all year round.
It always inspired me knowing that those tiny seeds have the potential to be huge trees, beautiful flowers or tasty vegetables. It helps me remember my potential … and how growth can take time.
Seeds also show me the level of abundance that this earth gifts us, with most plants gifting us many more seeds than we require. I adore the sense of abundance and generosity I feel when I take time to really see that 🙂
i love your seeds metaphor, ferris. thank you for sharing your inspiration.
April, I have always been intrigued by red doors.
I believe they’re against code in my thoroughly suburban community. 😉
And so….
I have a red kitchen!
Which I love just as much as red doors.
Congratulations on the new adventure of your e-course this week!
a red kitchen is good. very good. (and thanks. 🙂 )
I love the way you think … I love the red door …
🙂
