May you find something of value in what I share.
Don’t let your thoughts steal joy from the moment
I CAUGHT MYSELF DOING IT AGAIN: looking ahead to the future, wondering when ‘the other shoe might drop’ after considering how great something was - thus allowing my own thoughts to steal joy from the moment. We’ve all done it Those ‘what happens if’ and ‘what will I...
When we aren’t chosen
WE OFTEN WANT TO BE THE PERSON ANOTHER CHOOSES – as a friend or confidante, for a job, as a partner, as a preferred practitioner – the ego wants to be chosen and to be the favourite. But we might not be chosen in every case, because the other person has their own...
Expectations are made to be broken
EXPECTATIONS ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN AND REARRANGED into something different and even better. Continuing and persevering on what feels like a difficult, unclear, fuzzy path sometimes involves pausing for a time to determine - to notice, to sense, to suss out - the next...
The value of feeling heard
WHEN SOMEONE ELSE IS WOUND-UP OR UPSET about something - they might just need for us to bite our tongue, stop offering advice or solutions or even reasons why something is the way it is, and instead: ask them to share more, then say little and listen a lot. Don’t...
When we see others’ lives as more exciting
WHEN WE START COMPARING OURSELVES TO OTHERS because their path seems more exciting, more secure, easier, flashier – it would be worth asking ourselves: ~ do we really want the things for which we are envying them? ~ are we aware of all that comes with what they do,...
Abbreviate what you can
ABBREVIATE WHAT CAN BE shortened in your day, in order to allow extra time for the things that need it - the things that are of great value but are slow, that take their time, that need more attention, or will simply benefit from more of your time - whatever that...
Guilt is a thief of joy
GUILT IS A THIEF OF JOY. Certainly there are genuine reasons to feel guilty, particularly at times when we actually hurt someone in some way - their feelings or otherwise. But I find that many of us feel guilty far too often, for everything from: ~ saying the ‘wrong’...
No specific requirements
WE ARE FAR MORE THAN OUR PHYSICAL BODIES. It can be difficult for any of us to realize this, as we’re so immersed in our day-to-day life in this three-dimensional world. Our physical body is the mode through which we experience life, after all. But it’s my view that...
We’re not running out of time
HOW OFTEN DO WE HEAR THAT WE’RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME? Everything from ads and marketing (just for a limited time – don’t miss out!), to our own fears of getting older (fearing not enough time, in general), to the fact that sleep/bedtime has come too quickly (we’ve run...
Part of a multi-piece puzzle
THAT THING WE THINK WILL BE THE SOLUTION to what ails us - it might not be the SOLE answer. How many of us think - if only I could… ~ Meditate everyday, do that yoga challenge, or exercise a certain amount or at a certain time per day, ~ Give up sugar or chocolate or...
The villain in someone else’s story
WE WILL ALWAYS BE THE VILLAIN IN SOMEONE’S STORY, whether we've earned it or not. <-- I heard this said by Gabrielle Union on the podcast Armchair Expert not long ago. I often write about how we tend to imagine that others think worse of us than they likely do, and...
You are supported
INVITING YOU TO MOVE THROUGH TODAY KNOWING THAT YOU ARE SUPPORTED. ~ Maybe you like to think of it as spiritual support, or universal support, or that you’re energetically supported, or ~ Maybe those words – spiritual, universal, energetically - don’t resonate for...
Pondering life and existence
THERE IS NOTHING GREATER THAN ANY OF US - the being, the essence, the spirit that is each one of us. There are forces greater than our physical bodies, but the essence that is each of us cannot be destroyed – it has withstood it all. Maybe you believe in multiple...
Finding our way through chaos
ONE FINDS THEIR WAY THROUGH CHAOS more peacefully by staying present, focusing on and doing what is possible in each moment, while continuing to let go of borrowing uncertain troubles from tomorrow. Trust your ability to handle whatever comes up – whether expected or...
That person we think is showing us up
THAT PERSON WHO MUST TELL US ALL ABOUT A TOPIC THAT WE ALSO KNOW ABOUT, or how they excel at an activity or task that we also do – how fast or effective they are – it’s possible our first reaction might be that it is a reflection on us. We might take it to mean they...
