One of my all time favorite days…our motto became “it’s better to take the late start than not begin at all!” Hikes, trains, route bus drivers, up hill rock climbs and rocky beach walks were all worth it! Seven Sisters, we will be back…

I love a good deck of inspiring…these all lifted my spirits today. May you feel one (or all) of these wise souls speak to you too!

Putting down the doubt and fear of saying the right thing.
Now is the time to live from
a place that reminds us that the *right* thing
Is to show up…

IMPERFECTLY,
HUMBLY,
OPEN HEARTED,
READY TO LISTEN
AND ENGAGE.

EVEN IF IT’S HARD.

Hard is easier when we link arms and hold each other up.

Thankful to be a mom in this life to my girls. We definitely hold each other us again and again.

Grateful for this beautiful, messy life.

If your heart feels uncertain, heavy or unsure,

Know that you are seen. Your heart’s aches are heard and held. You can link arms virtually with us. Your angels are watching over you. God has big plans for you in the small moments that are unfolding all of the time.

You’re held.
You’re held.
You’re held.

You know that Monday feeling? Waking up with dread, a weight on your chest, or “the mountain of to-dos is higher than I can see, and I haven’t even put a foot on the floor yet” feeling.

Waking with these physical and emotional feelings makes the slide into more unhelpful thoughts and habits even easier.

Yet, if we build awareness.

And pause.

Still no foot on the floor yet.

We can shift it just enough {one little degree is all it takes} to offer another path for the day.

How? Do one tiny something to hold the pause….

✨ Take 2 deep breaths….blowing out your exhale like your blowing out of a straw, nice and slow.

Or

✨ Gaze at something in your room. Just for 30-60 seconds. Really observe it. as you find this object to let your gaze rest on, drop your shoulders, wiggle your jaw, relax your breathing. What do you notice about the object? Keep going. Keep noticing details, colors, textures, sounds. Oftentimes once you’ve let yourself gaze…you’ll find a little message has come for you. A metaphor or reminder of how the day can shift when you pause.

Or

If you’re busy mind led you to forget you have love living right in your bed with you, pause and

🐶 Snuggle into your pillow, your sweet pet, or your loved one and breathe in the gift of living life where Love exists.

May your Monday have more ease.
May your Monday carry you in a way that reminds you that time is indeed on your side.
May your Monday give you glimpses of what truly matters to soften your hands in the doing.
May your Monday set a tone for your week that is rooted in a gracious heart and mind.
May it be so.

p.s. pics are of my workspace…created to give me all of the ideas I shared with you. More inspiration, more moments of pause, and a deeper sense of gratitude.

A stack of wisdom right by my bathtub. Along with epsom salts and candles.

More than anything I hope I love well.

More than anything, even when I act like a warrior, I pray my heart breaks ✨open✨ and expands.

More than anything I hope that when I explore that it’s an act of love, seeking to know more of the beauty of creation and humanity, so that when I’m lost, I’m actually found.

More than anything I wish this for every body.

I found this in my journal, a Latin phrase that we might benefit from right now.

We are being told who and what to notice.

Yes, and there’s more.

Yes and No.

Yes, but-

Listen. Ask questions. There’s always more to see than what’s being pointed to or pushed in our faces.

These reflections are all from reading Richard Rohr’s “Book of Daily Meditations.” He points us back to the deeper knowing, the actual well of Life and asks us to consider reading scripture and spiritual texts with the spirit of curiosity and openness.

Is a good night’s sleep evading you? I see you. Me too. The change in seasons, all of the events we are part of and that we are witnessing, and our own bodies’ experiences and happenings are quite a bit to manage.

Join me on Tuesday evening for a blend of yoga + meditation designed to relax your mind and prepare your body for a more peaceful evening and a good night’s sleep.

Tuesdays 7:00pm via Zoom, so that you can come as you are and drift off to a peaceful evening as we close for the night.

No experience required. Please feel free to message me with questions or concerns you may have. We can chat via text or a short call. Whatever is best for you. ✨✨🫶🏼

In the early days, we meet yoga from the places that feel comfortable and alive in us in the moment.

As we continue to practice, yoga invites us to open in new ways-

✨To heal aches in our bodies and souls

✨To stretch our fascia and our minds

As we go deeper into our yoga practice, we find a somatic experience that opens our bodies, minds and hearts in a rhythm that creates lasting change.

Our lives are so packed FULL. May we cultivate spaciousness everywhere, but especially our hearts. So the possibilities have room to bloom. So the unimaginable has space to germinate and flourish. God is ready to surprise us, but it helps if we make room in our hearts.
