Little with my main thang Pobre Chica Rica (first photo by BLESS E$CRO at our anniversary party)
We were overdue for a girls hangā¦so instead of dropping $200 on dinner and drinks, I ordered a bistro set and made us margaritas and a light meal. š„°
And in true Melinda fashion I recruited a few extras that needed a moment of respiteš¤·š¼āāļø.
I had a friend for a long time that hated that version on meā¦how I would engage with, and even entertainā¦strangersāwhile she gave them a sharp eye, cold shoulder, and zero attention. We were different, and thatās okay I guessā¦but at the end of the dayāshe just didnāt like people.
And people are my thing.
Mumu Mansion is just the current iteration of my gift. Iāve been a lot of things in this lifeā¦and they all came back to people. Kids. Women. Mothers. Survivors.
And there are a few types of folks this place seems to attractā¦that I canāt quite put in a box. But Iāll just sayā-they have stories. They are a story.
And I think, I know, that most people donāt listen to their story. Or they donāt feel safe enough to share it.
But they trust me.
And Iām still learning what that looks like, for this version of Melinda. There is a MuMu magic that I am honored people are drawn to.
AND, Iām practicing honoring the āpeople personā gift Iāve had since forever, without the inhibitions the world/that friend/the extreme boundary movement laid over me. While also noticing what drains me, what Iāve healed and no longer want to engage/attract, and remembering my boundaries are VERY porousā-they can be more discerning, more mature, more clearā¦and that doesnāt nullify my āgiftā. It just fine tunes it.
Maybe it even magnifies the magic.āØ
(Thankful for Pobre Chica Rica and friends who roll with the punches, who let me be my truest self, especially at the Mansion where I canāt always control who or what is drawn to this little slice of light on Pico. )
(Ps open today til 6, and tomorrow 10-6 if you need a little of itš®)
