Thank you to everyone reaching out to me to check in on my safety regarding the incident at the Albany courthouse and the safety of my students. I’m actually in Portland today and have a sub for my class. As far as I know everyone is safe.

Journaling self inquiry ?
“Where have you been saying “I don’t know” when what you mean is “I don’t know how”?

How often, I wonder, are we obscuring our own knowing, because what we are actually afraid of is entering — or exiting — the rooms we know we are meant to move through?

In the meantime keep planting the seeds, stay open, stay curious lead with compassion✌🏼💚🫶🏻

Lao Tzu wrote, twenty-five centuries ago: “ Who can make the muddy water clear? Let it be still, and it will gradually become clear.”
I took this to mean that if we become still enough, our dirt settles to the bottom and stays there, leaving us clear water. Now, I understand it differently. The mud that fills the glass, the glass that is our body, does not sink as we become more aware. It rises to the surface instead. It means what was hidden below forces its way up, clouding the glass before it passes through.
Before the water clears, the mud must rise.
I have come to believe the silt lifting from the floor of you, obscuring everything you thought you’d settled, is not a sign that something is wrong. It is the first sign that something is waking and attempting to move out of you. The water gets murkier as it becomes more honest. What was resting on the bottom, undisturbed and invisible, is finally getting the chance to move up and out of your container. It stirs to be seen, before it spills out of you. 🪷

Cherry blossoms in full bloom 🌸
They don’t rush, they don’t hold on—
they just show up fully, beautifully, and then let go.

Don’t forget to pause and look around.
This moment matters too.

I’m aware of all the heavy things happening in the world right now.

You can feel it.
In conversations.
In the news.
In the way people are carrying themselves. 💔

There’s a weight many of us are holding.

But here’s something I keep reminding myself…

For every heartbreaking headline, there is another story of people showing up. Helping. Rebuilding. Fighting for something better. ☮️

Humanity is still trying.

And while we can’t control everything happening around us, we do have control over two things:

Your attitude.
Your effort.

Mindset isn’t something you “have.”
It’s something you practice.

Every day.
In small moments.
In how you respond.

Protect your peace.
Stay informed — but don’t drown in it.
Choose to be part of the better. 🤍

Self-growth is beautiful.
Healthy living is powerful.
Discipline can absolutely change your life.

But hear me on this…

Your worth is not measured by your consistency.
Your value is not dependent on how “on track” you are.
You are not lovable because you’re disciplined.

You are lovable. Period.

If you’re constantly creating conditions for your own love —
“I’ll feel good when…”
“I’ll be proud when…”
“I’ll rest when…”

You’ll never actually arrive.

Growth should come from love… not from proving that you’re worthy of it.

Take care of yourself because you matter.
Not because you’re trying to earn your value.

And if you need a space to breathe, reset, and come back to yourself…

I’ll be teaching class today from 9:30–10:30am 💛 Sole to Soul Yoga
Come move. Come soften. Come exactly as you are.
