✨ 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒍𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒄𝒚 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒐𝒖𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆 ✨
— 𝑴𝒂𝒚𝒂 𝑨𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒖

🌾 𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒇𝒂𝒓𝒎, 𝒘𝒆’𝒓𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒕𝒉 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒅𝒂𝒚.

A gentle nudge from 𝑳𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝑱𝒐𝒆, a soft gaze from 𝑳𝒂𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒕, and the loyal joy in 𝑱𝒂𝒄𝒌’𝒔 wagging tail — each moment reminds us that everything we do ripples outward. 🌊

💫 Whether it’s a kind word, a healing touch, or even the quiet energy we carry — it all leaves an imprint.
Our choices shape not only the lives of people, but also the hearts of animals, the health of our land, and even the balance of the weather that surrounds us. 🌦️🌍

Legacy isn’t about fame or fortune — it’s about **energy in motion (e-motion).** ✨
It’s the way the earth feels after we’ve walked upon it.
It’s the peace we leave in a horse’s eyes. 🐎
It’s the calm that follows our laughter through the trees. 🌳💫

💭 𝑺𝒐 𝒕𝒐𝒅𝒂𝒚, 𝒘𝒆 𝒂𝒔𝒌 𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒗𝒆𝒔...
🌿 What legacy are we creating?
Are our ripples spreading peace, love, and healing — or something else? 💞

Let’s walk gently. 🚶‍♀️
Let’s touch lives with intention. 🤍
And let’s leave behind a legacy that honors the heart of all living things. 🌎✨

I always say, don’t make important decisions while you’re tired, ill, stressed, triggered, depressed, anxious or grieving.

Instead, wait it out until these feelings or physiological states ease-up.

This is particularly important where big decisions are involved and also choices which involve a significant financial and time commitment.

It’s VERY tempting when laid low, either emotionally or physically, to rush and grab onto something that we think is the right action. But in my experience, these are the times when something else needs to happen more naturally and slowly. They are not the time to make commitments and make big life decisions.

One big reason for this is that when we’re low our true-self fades into the background again, and our old thoughts, beliefs, habits and ideas start to re-surface and try to overtake us again, especially negative, doubting and self-harming beliefs and habits.

Essentially, we’re not fully in alignment during these times.

I always remind myself when this starts to happen, “Hey, I’m just tired/hungry/stressed/ unwell etc.”; rather than having gone fully back to my old ways of thinking.

As Lao Tzu cautions:

"Do you have the patience to wait till your mud settles and the water is clear?

Can you remain unmoving till the right action arises by itself?"

If our waters are muddy then it’s far better to let things settle down again until we begin to see, feel and think more clearly and then take the right action which is in alignment with our true-self.

I also compare this to doing anything with our horses, as they can sense when we’re tired, unwell or stressed and just not up to it on certain days. And they will often try to convey to us that it would be far better to come back another day to do something more substantial with them beyond meeting their basic care needs.

They always try to encourage us to tend to our self-care first, and that’s the same thing I’m talking about here: Self-care first and then make the important decisions, choices and commitments when the fog has cleared.

Patience. It’s a core self-care quality to cultivate and grow. It keeps us grounded and calm, even during the difficult times.
