Every year I take a small pilgrimage to visit the cherry blossoms 🌸

This year I took some time to meditate on Cherry Esplanade. The blossoms always serve as a reminder of what is often most beautiful is not always permanent, and that doesn’t lessen beauty’s impact.

This time around, as I also visited when the blossoms were wilting and nearing the end of their brief seasonal cycle, I also reminded how critical it is to give myself the permission to run towards beauty full force and not wait for the “right time” or conditions to be present.

The right time to be with feeling is the moment it arises.

Here’s to making time to sit with all that is good, no matter how long it lasts.

What good are you sitting with today?

Have you been feeling the anger online lately? I have.

It seems that being online is the fun, light point of refuge it used to be. There's a lot of anger, hurt feelings, and grandstanding.

In this post, I offer up curiosity as a gateway to more compassion both for how we engage with others, but also for ourselves.

I hope you read and find it helpful 💛

Practice self-reflection without shame.

The Shadow Work Self-Reflection Deck is not only a tool, it's a practice that helps you make introspection a ritual. Whether you are reflecting on one card a week or at other moments in life when you need clarity with yourself, this deck helps you spend time with yourself with more compassion.

Shadow work—the therapeutic process of exploring your emotional pain, past trauma, and personal imperfections—is a powerful tool to help you embrace and accept yourself, even the parts that are difficult.

In these 100 cards you will find prompts on:

• Connecting to and healing your inner child
• Better understanding your emotions
• Investigating the inner critic
• And plenty more...
