Bravery and courage. How do we get there?

Bravery, courage and fearlessness. I’ve been thinking about it a lot. How does one become this way? To be brave and courageous?

How do you start your day?

I’ve tried to develop a little routine for myself – things to purposely do in the morning that I know will make me feel calm and together, before I start my day. When I feel like my own needs and wants are attended to, I feel more likely to be productive and efficient in knocking things off the to do list. I feel more motivated and ready to give to the demands of the people and energies around me.

Goals and plans for the NEW year. Is it enough?

For whatever reason putting my goals and dreams neatly on a clean paper, in my new clean day planner, using different colored pens, marking with stars and hearts, makes it official.
Is this enough? Am I playing too small? Are these goals all truly mine? Can I do more?

God, in this moment

Let me share, that the word GOD isn’t one I’ve been particularly comfortable with. Like, at ALL. But I’ve been seeking, as I do. And recently, I’ve been interchanging my go to word the UNIVERSE, with the word GOD. But I haven’t spoken much of that word… just played with it here and there. Never really committing to it.
But this moment… the voice in my head or in my heart… “Can I find God in this?”

“This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.” ~ Toni Morrison

Another lesson in compassion: finding old journals and being okay with who I was

It’s only when I actually slow myself down from being sucked back into the past, into the hurt and into that fear based way of living, that I can pause long enough and realize I don’t have to hurt AS that old girl. I don’t have to GO back to those experiences. I can find the lesson and leave the experience….

How to maximize your weekend

Do you ever feel like you just don’t have enough time on the weekends? I mean, Friday hits and, YES, it’s here! But then you blink and it’s Sunday night and you think, where did the time go? What did I do with my life the last two days?

The shitty work

I’ve realized that with any struggles in life, we have to do the shitty work. We have to. There is no easy work. There are no easy buttons to our lives. To really get what we want, totally and completely, we have to do the shitty work.

Amazing people…

There are some really terrible people out there. But, the cool thing is that there are even more super duper people out there… Just take a look around…

Beautiful People

So, what does it take to be seen as beautiful? It’s pretty simple if you ask me…

A Spiritual Journey: Who signed me up for this?

I think most of us want growth and expansion in our lives. And when we decide that, it is almost like the Universe begins to conspire on our behalf… adding players and scenes into our days that will aid in our growth and expansion. Our little worlds suddenly become bigger, deeper, richer. And sometimes, more complicated. It’s funny. I beleive when you make the decision that you “want more” out of life, life will give you more. And there is really no way to turn back.

Acceptance? Yah right.

Lessons from 2016, Hopes for 2017

I think that when we release and let go of something from our past, we energetically create space for something new to come in. When we look at our year, and let go of the experiences that moved or rocked us, all awhile keeping the lesson it taught us, we can propel ourselves into more life, more excitement, more love.

My love affair with nature

Isn’t it something, that the heart chakra is associated with the color green, and where I feel my heart always finds home, is also in the colour green… Coincidence? I think not.

What happened here?

“There is this moment when every warrior woman looks at herself in the mirror and says: “what happened? Where am I??? Who am I?? OH HELL NO.”

Self love… just do it.

Most of the objections to self-love come from misconceptions of what love is…

The Already Principle.

When you start living and believing that you are enough right this moment, life will start unfolding in ways that supports that. When you start living and believing that you are loved, right this moment, life will continue to unfold in ways that makes this truer and truer for you.

Forgiveness…. a few words.

Until you forgive, you will keep giving your future to the past.
