There is an unapologetic ferocity to how Stela chooses to live her life. Annoying? For some. Provocative? For many! Compelling and life-giving? Always! ™™™
Perhaps her greatest gift lies in the unrelenting press for us to notice: how it once was, no longer is. Our world has already changed and we seem to be in no great hurry to notice and/or do anything about it. We continue to believe that something ‘out there’ will change and make our lives better. And every time we are lulled into that illusion, Stela reminds us: unless we change, nothing changes. If we change incrementally, so do our lives. If we want massive and significant change in our lives, then we must – first! – change massively and significantly. And that, is not for the faint of heart.

“I am here, on this planet at this time, to disrupt the deep comma of the cultural conditioning (aka the lies we keep replicating to ourselves) that is killing us. I am here to help women safely discover the Truth that lives inside, waiting to be integrated ….freed. I am deeply curious about the truth that you carry … about who YOU are in the world? Not your name, your job, your issues, your problems, your upbringing …but you. Your essence. Your I AM. I am interested in why are you here, on this planet, at this time? These are not questions we can intellectualize our way to — these are explorations that require a different way of thinking, a different mindframe… they require an education to a different paradigm.” (Stela Murrizi)

Louise, thank you, from the bottom of my heart for the words you wrote here today.
I was just ‘recovering’ from a conversation with my husband about moving forward in a highly unpredictable world. There is a certain paralysis most people find themselves in when thinking about how to move forward given what’s unfolding ‘out there’ … there’s a general avoidance of even making up one’s mind about it!
Your recognition of my knowing “how it once was, no longer is” brought me to tears, because that is exactly the point. We cannot afford to hide from what’s unfolding any longer. We simply MUST face it so that we can move on forward toward that which is meaningful to us NOW, not yesterday. But in this breath…then the next.
I have so much movement inside of me …so much percolating. I just really wanted to take the time to thank you for really seeing me…
It is not easy to be authentic in the living of your Life. The pressures to conform; to not stand out; to be reasonable and appropriate (whatever that means); to find the comfortable and acceptable middle ground that does not disturb… these override the inner drive to be fully present to and expressive of all that brings joy and meaning into your life!
In my now many years of experience with you, you are exceptional. You dare risk annoying others in the honouring of yourSelf. You are relentless in the pursuit of the fullness of your Being. You venture forth… discover…embrace what is awakened… and venture forth again! There is no destination greater than the power of the perpetual journey, itself.
Few cultural norms exist – particularly for women – that encourage us to embrace the sharp edges of living in this way. We are not encouraged to be unique but are pressed to compromise… to blend in… to capitulate. And the good news? YOU will have none of it!
You are exceptional in your commitment to allow that deep desire to FULLY BE, to have the Space within which to Move… and express… and Flow into and become your best Life. In my many, many years of engaging with women, many are those who desire and few are those who dare to allow themselves to lock into that desire and BE its greatest champion.
I know you are not for everyone! I also know that for many, you will be an acquired preference. However, in the midst of it all… in the face of the turmoil and increasing chaos that is making its way through our comfortable acceptance of ’normal’…. I also know there are many, many women who – were they to know that they were in the presence of one who is Fearless in the face of it all… one who could be trusted to not bolt at the emergence of the first challenge that rises up to block the way – would grab hold of the moment that calls to them and step boldly into a life of their own design. No small feat… and one that demands the full embrace of the unknown.
Magnificence demands a ferocity of embrace for its awakening!
Know this: you can annoy me, anytime. 🙂
