Peanut Butter Falcon
This is a great movie that a friend recommended and I watched it the
other night. Near the end of the movie, a scene knocked me sideways and I just started balling. It knocked on the neighborhood of old trauma in my mind and brought it back.
Fresh. Tender. Ow.
During this journey of integration, I’ve dedicated my energy toward
building resilience, cultivating compassion, and living a life of
service.
To appreciating the Fresh. To having a Tender Heart.
To acknowledging the Ow (but not dwelling in the past).
I’ve finally made peace with the idea that I will ever have a different past. It’s part of the path of forgiveness. While watching Peanut Butter Falcon, I held onto myself and allowed another layer of old hurts to emerge to the
sunlight of the Spirit. And I asked for extra hugs and allowed myself to be real, raw, and vulnerable with my Beloveds.
Here’s what I believe:
We feel it to heal it. And we forgive. And we grieve. And we shift.
Forgiveness: Letting go of the idea of ever having a different past.
Consider that possibility as we ask the next big question:
How can we shift our perspective and see trauma as a portal to
alchemy?
Trauma: A deeply distressing or disturbing experience
Alchemy: A seemingly magical process of transformation, creation
or combination.
What if your life is a movie on the screen of your mind?
What scenes do you replay over and over?
How do they make you feel?
Which ones do you feel dissociated from and wish would be different?
What if you could switch out the reel of the old movie and play a new ending?
Watch the movie Peanut Butter Falcon and you might get inspired.
Pick up a pen and starting writing answers to the above questions and besure to write about the ideal outcome of your life.
Describe the legacy you’d like to leave behind. Describe in granular detail the joy and pleasure you’d like to experience now.
You matter. Your relationships matter. If you feel stuck, reach out to me.I’m here for you. Holding both you and your unique Moonshot high in my heart.
p.s. on a different note, but related on the spectrum of human existence
Time for us to get inspired and have some fun! Please join me tomorrow as I go live, once again, with my beloved friend, Maria Aleandra, in her

| On Wednesday We-Day I make a point to connect with others in deeper way, face to face if can, which is increasingly challenging in this pandemic time! I’m headed out on a walk with a friend soon and wanted to send you a quick message to let you know I’m thinking of you and wishing we could go for a walk together. It’s incredibly therapeutic. Instead, I’ll offer movie recommendation and some writing prompts for integration. And invite to join me in the world of social media. |
