Foreign.

Welcome to Love Notes, Rhonda.

And today's theme is giddy.

Yes.

Giddy and joyful and alive.

Giddy, giddy, giddy.

How giddy do you allow yourself to be?

I know for most of my life, giddy was seen as silly or stupid.

Stupid.

Or, you know, only those lesser people were giddy.

You know, they weren't smart, right?

That's how I was raised.

You know, you could be happy, but overly giddy and overly joyful, not so much.

Or I should say even any giddy in my family was too much.

And yet, when we allow ourselves to be giddy, even if we have to fake it in order to start the bull rolling, even if we have to pretend to get that feeling alive inside of us, I invite you to do that today.

Being giddy, allowing yourself to be silly, allowing yourself to be joyful just for the sheer sake, just sheer fact of being alive.

And of course, any other reason you have, and no reason at all.

See, when the universal wisdom, when the source, when God, when light is moving through you, you can't help but be.

Giddy, joyful, alive.

So whenever I am.

Feeling well, I'm nothing to be giddy about, or I have nothing to be joyful about.

You know, I know that the cloak of fear is upon me.

I know that I am allowing my worries and concerns and overwhelm or guilt again, whatever any of that stuff is, to hamper my aliveness, to hamper my giddy of joy.

Cause if I stopped and really looked at my life, if you stopped and really looked at your life, really looked at it, there would be so much to be giddy about, so much to be joyful about.

And is it scary to be joyful?

Yes.

Cause it can feel exposure.

You can feel like, well, people are gonna judge me, or what are you so happy about?

Right?

That's how I was.

That's what that was.

That's what it was in my family.

Right?

What are you so happy about?

What are you.

What are you.

What are you so happy?

And of course, I was taught that that was fake.

You have to be real.

Of course, you couldn't really be real, but you couldn't be fake either.

But you had to be fake in order to pretend you're real.

In my family, I'm sure some of you understand that.

So let's just talk about giddy.

What would it take for you to allow your heart to.

To bounce through today with a smile, with a light, with a joy?

So I want you to find places in your life to be giddy.

If that means putting on music and doing a jig, do it.

If that means looking in the mirror, making funny faces, do it.

If that means skipping through the house down the street, do it.

The things you are afraid to be silly about actually cut you off from your joy, Cut you off from your giddiness, Cut you off from your aliveness.

So the things that you're like, oh, my God, I could never do that.

Those are the very things to do today.

It's the season.

People are more apt to be completely okay in your giddiness and your silliness and you're joyful and your aliveness.

So practice today.

Practice.

Allow yourself to be in the giddy energy of life itself.

Until next time, be fearless.

I love you.
