Beautiful Soul, this is your friendly reminder that You Are Enough. Too often we push and pull at our Selves, til we hardly recognize who we really are in this world because we’re trying so desperately to fit into it. Desperate to BE enough, when the truth it our enough-ness is already Truth. You are NOT responsible for anyone else. You are not them. They are not you. And yet, we are all innately connected. But only you are responsible…
Self care needs to be purposeful! Yes, yes I know I’ve said that before (a few hundred times) and yet there are some folks out there you have heard it – but clearly don’t get it. How do I know? Simple, because they are not living it. Too many folks are half-assing it, forgetting about it or not prioritizing it and then wondering why self care doesn’t help them. So I’ve decided to share with you some of the very…
Sometimes the problem is not the problem, only our interpretation of the problem is the problem. Get it? Ya, it’s a bit messy sounding and can lead down a pretty winding path of eye’s widening and exclaiming “ooooh!” I’m not going to lie, that winding path goes deep. Still, you don’t have to walk the whole thing today. Just get started, start thinking about things a little differently. A great philosopher (whose name escapes me right now, but if you…
Why don’t you need to bother with New Year’s resolutions? Easy answer? Because they SUCK and you don’t really care about them anyway. C’mon, am I right? Little bit? Yeah, I thought so. It’s December 31st, 2016 today. New Year’s Eve Baby! At 8am I’ve already had 3 emails and have seen multiple Facebook and twitter posts about how to ‘FIX’ your new year’s resolutions this year. Everything from wording them differently, to buy this app, to getting a ‘resolution…
As of writing this there are only 2 days left in 2016. It’s been quite a ride hasn’t it? Lots of people are REALLY ready to feel those fresh start feelings with 2017 beginning so soon. I love that. A new year, new start and all those yummy things! One thing I would like to share with you is this…you can get all the fresh starts, clean slates and new beginnings you want, but they are often quite pointless. Why?…
You may have heard me say that most of us need to be far more gentle with our selves than we generally are. Heck, I may have even said it to you directly. I’m a BIG believer that we ought to treat ourselves as nicely (or better) than we would treat any one else. Unfortunately, that often is not the case. There seems to be this weird perception that there some badge of honor for abusing ourselves. You know what…
August 1 (and this week) is in many places considered a special time. Lammas, also known as Lughnasadh (pronounced Loo-NAS-ah), falls on Monday, August 1 this year. It is a holiday based in age-old Earth-based traditions. It is a celebration of the first harvests and when we first begin to notice the lengthening of the nights – just little. I’m sure you’ve noticed lots of local produce being available right? It’s so lush and beautiful. The sunflowers growing in my…
It’s happened to me, to friends, clients and I’m sure you have had at least some experience with life feeling like it’s crumbling around you. Where it seems to be falling apart no matter which direction you look. Work is a big ball of stress and craziness, you get a flat or the engine starts knocking, a fight with your partner, and with any luck you not only get a cold but break out. You feel like life is out…
Let’s check in shall we? When life offers you pleasure – how often do you say yes? And I’m talking about ALL kinds of pleasure – food, drink, sex, textures, dancing, music, new opportunities and – for me, even de-cluttering. I mean sure, there will be times when you have to say no – the amazing wine you had last night is probably not going to be served in the board room the next morning, no matter how sweetly you…
