AmpleAliveness -- ample aliveness -- a phrase I've been using for a couple of years now, and to which many of my waking (and some sleeping) hours are dedicated. So what does AmpleAliveness mean, anyway?
Ample: abundant; plentiful; enough; large
Aliveness: vibrancy; living-ness as opposed to dead-ness; wide-awake, full-out living
AmpleAliveness™ one word, several concepts:
- Full-out living in a way that embraces the abundance in our world
- People saying YES to life, today, now, here - not tomorrow, not when some number says it's OK
- People in Ample bodies claiming our Aliveness -- exactly as we are, without apology, shame, guilt, or acceptance of any of the negative judgment the world seems determined to heap upon us, simply for our shape and size
- All of the above!
It is my wish, and hope, as this blog and our conversation here evolve, so will our understanding of AmpleAliveness. So what does it mean to you to be Amply Alive? Click on Comment and let me know.
AmpleHugs,
