IV. Rhiannon Sacred Heart Medicine Woman DEFINING: A Life Well Lived

If I am lucky enough to have a few moments of pause at the end of my life to ask myself a question, 

I imagine there will be just ONE question on my heart:

Did I live “A Well-Lived-Life”?

For me, it won’t be measured by how much money I made or how big of a house I was able to buy.  It won’t be about how much I was able to stuff into my 401k, how well my stocks did, or the fancy cars I was able to afford.  Although, I have nothing against wealth, big houses, and nice cars.  Heck, I am even OPEN to receiving all of these things again someday. …I say, again, because I have already been-there-done-that and was far from a happy human.

But, of course, it will be measured by how well I loved.  What else even is there?

If my Life, 

my Love, 

was a Tree…

One of the main branches would surely be, My Relationships.

As a Mother, I immediately think of my child…

Did my son feel ALL of my Endless Love that I have for him?

Did he feel richly nourished & nurtured by me?  Did he feel safe to come to me in any moment, especially the times he felt alone or scared, guilty or shameful?  Did he know that there is nothing under the sun that he could do that would ever take my love away from him? 

NOTHING.  

Did I reflect back to him the sparkles in his eyes and all of the magic he has inside of him?  Did I encourage him to have the confidence in knowing he could do anything he set his heart to?  

More Branches.

FULL SOUL EXPRESSION.

Did I love myself enough to feel LIBERATED to express freely in every moment?

Did I live from the Core of my Innermost & Truest Essence?

Was I mySELF?  My FULL Self?

Did I let myself be Seen?

Did I let myself be Heard?

Was I raw & vulnerable?

Was I REAL?

Did I Open myself to Connection & Intimacy?

Did I See, Hear, & LISTEN to Others?

Was I kind to you?

Did I share a genuine smile with you?

Did I look you in the eyes?

Was I considerate of you?

Did we Connect?  Did I help bring out the Best in you?

Was I a good student of life?

Did I clean up my karma?

Did I live in INTEGRITY?

Did I LEAD with LOVE?

Was I in Service to THE WHOLE or did I just serve myself?

Did I live IN ALIGNMENT with MY SOUL?

Did I let my PASSION RUN WILD?

Did I positively IMPACT people’s lives?

Did I leave a Legacy of Love?

Did I ROAR my Leo Rising Lioness Heart Out?

Did I SING?

Did I DANCE?

DID I SERVE?

Did I INSPIRE?

Did I let myself feel fully ALIVE?

Did I dance naked in the rain and howl at the moon when it was full?

Did I listen to the stirrings of my Soul and heed Her whispers in the wind?

Did I commune with The Trees and Listen to their Silent Ancient Wisdom?

Did I sync to Her rhythm, barefoot on the Earth and walk as much of Her as possible?

Was I in tune with nature and did I honor my own cycles?  

Or did I subscribe to the never-ending hustle, the rat race?

WAS I FULFILLED?

Was I Satisfied??

DID I EXPERIENCE AS MUCH (sober) PLEASURE AS PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE?

Did I take care of my body, my vessel so that my Soul had a nice place to dwell this time around?

WAS I BRAVE?

WAS I COURAGEOUS?

Or

Did I play small?

Did I stay safe?

Did I STAY… for the [false] sense of security?

Or did I follow the Golden Breadcrumbs my Soul left for me, and enter into the Wild Unknown??

DID I LIVE WITH INTENTION?

Was I Present?

Did I stay grounded or did I escape?

Did I stay centered or did I sway in the storms?

Did I harness the incredible power of my mind or did I let it swirl, be dispersed and distractible? 

Did I allow OTHERS to tell me what was true, right, and mandatory?

OR DID I DECIDE FOR MYSELF what feels GOOD, RIGHT, AND TRUE FOR ME.

Was I a Lion or a sheep?

Did I embrace my Power or did I give it away because I was scared of it?

Did I stand ALL THE WAY UP and SPEAK OUT or did I shrink and cower, shying away in fear, or to not make others feel uncomfortable?

Did I walk the talk?  

Did I arise each morning & place my invisible (& invincible) crown on my head and wear it with humility?

Did I Remember that my Heart is my Throne?

Did I Open my Heart ALL the way up?

Did I Love, —REALLY— Love?

Did I take the Initiative?

Did I open my Creative Valve to FULL BLAST?

Did I anchor my creations into this realm or leave them formless in the ethers?

DID I TRUST LIFE?

When I faced challenges, did I TRUST that they were exactly what I needed to go through in order to GROW MY SOUL?

Or did I get stuck in victim-mentality?

HOW WAS MY ATTITUDE?

Did I feel sorry for myself?

Was I GRATEFUL or complaining?

Did I feed the right wolf?

Did I Devote my Life to be a Living-Prayer?

Did I have Discipline & Determination?

Did I climb the foreboding mountain? Did I even take the first step?  

Or did I look at how high and steep it was and just go lay down and give into my inertia?

DID I USE MY LIFE FORCE ENERGY FOR GOOD?

Was I connected to my internal fire?

Did I tap the pure nectar that lives inside of my Cosmic Heart and share it generously with those that desired a taste?

Did I have Boundaries and give my precious energy to only those that treated me respectfully?

Did I LET GO of every single person, place and thing that was holding me back from BECOMING the Highest and Greatest Version of mySelf?

Did I let myself change & evolve?

Did I let myself transform into The Butterfly?

Did I own my God-Given GIFTS and share them, which in turn, inspired others to own and share theirs?

Did I step FULLY into the Light That I AM, therefore, Reflecting to Others the Light inside of themselves?

Did I care too much about what others think of me?

Or did I allow my Being to trigger people without taking it personally? 

Did I play?

Did I play with my son?

Did I have FUN?

This LIFE is supposed to be FUN!!!! (Are We Having Fun Yet?)

Did I experience ALL OF THE MAGIC this Life has to Offer?

Did I treat this Life as the Precious & Sacred Gift that it is?

Did I have a hand-made life? Or was it artificial & digital, even worse - a…virtual reality?

Did I put my phone down?

Did I ‘Netflix and chill’?  

Or did I LIVE FULL OUT?

DID I MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

Did I leave this earth better than I found it?

Did I leave it all out on the field?

DID I FEEL IT ALL?

Or did I numb out in fear of the overwhelming energy in motion (e-motion)?

Did I reach into the very depths of my being?

Did I get to the root?

Was I the Alchemist I know I can be?  

Did I turn the shit into GOLD?

Was I a good mother to my Inner-Child?  

Did I return to all of the moments she was scared when trauma was happening to her and/or around her - to scoop her up and place her safely into my heart where she could run free & play in eternal liberation?

Did I do everything I could to help her feel safe in this world AND WITH DEVOTION, create an environment for her to access and express her creativity & her magic?

Did I remind her often that she has wings to fly? 

Did I FLY?

Did I Bloom?

Did I squeeze every drop of juice out of this life?

Did I wake up each day and Reconnect to The Dream ([whispers] what is your dream?) and did I let it drive my every action?

Did I WAKE UP Inside of the Dream?

…I Imagine these are some of the questions I will have as I near the end.

And so I sit with these questions often and - NOW - so when that one final question appears on my heart, maybe there won’t even be the need to ask it.  Maybe I will get to just Be in The Knowing, & feel the resounding YES reverberating throughout my entire Being ~ Peacefully closing my eyes & passing on with flying colors.
