May you find something of value in what I share.
A river is not still
A RIVER LOOKS MUCH THE SAME AT ANY MOMENT from a distance, a little like how we might view our days, or even ourselves: much the same from one day to the next. But even though the river appears nearly identical on the surface from moment to moment, in truth it is in...
How we look back at cringe-y experiences
OVER THE YEARS I’VE SPENT SO MUCH TIME WINCING AS I’VE THOUGHT BACK TO EXPERIENCES - particularly conversations and interactions - contemplating just how much better or differently I would handle them ‘now.’ ‘Now’ is really any point after it happened - maybe many...
Start a routine like an experiment
JUST START NOW. If you want to create a new habit or start a different routine or practice - maybe you’ve been thinking about it, or you planned to start this past New Year’s but didn’t follow through - DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME LAMENTING OR BEING HARD ON YOURSELF for not...
Everything is outside of our control and yet within our control
EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING IN DIVINE TIMING (and if you don’t like the term ‘divine’ then try ‘its own time’ or ‘at the right time’ or ‘in the timing it’s meant to’), therefore there's no need for… ~ it should have happened (or I should have done it) before now ~ why...
Shifting focus from worry to trust
IF (OR WHEN) THE THING YOU’RE WORRIED ABOUT ACTUALLY HAPPENS, you will deal with it - just as you have dealt with all the things that have happened in your life before - whether it came out of left field or whether you had worried that it might happen. Worrying about...
Intuition is a gateway
INTUITION IS THE GATEWAY TO EVERYWHERE ELSE AND NOWHERE ELSE AT THE SAME TIME. The gut feelings, ideas, even images and messages that arise - we tend to think they're coming FROM elsewhere TO us because we're just discovering them, so it’s difficult to conceive of how...
Impactful changes are effortlessly unfolding
TRUST THAT THE CHANGES WITHIN OURSELVES THAT ARE MOST IMPORTANT, MOST IMPACTFUL - ARE OFTEN EFFORTLESSLY UNFOLDING under our radar - all the pieces coming together, percolating, and assembling under the surface. Our subconscious - having taken in all the encouragement...
Listen for the whisper of your inner voice
A REMINDER TO NOT BLINDLY FOLLOW WHAT OTHERS SAY. CHECK IN WITH WHAT FEELS RIGHT. If someone tells you, advises you, encourages you to do something … ~ on your own life path, ~ with your future plans, ~ such as to participate (or not) in an event or activity, or ~...
What we learn from those we don’t like
WE LEARN SO MUCH FROM PEOPLE WE DON’T LIKE – people we don’t resonate with, people whose actions or words get on our nerves, or rub us the wrong way. I know I do. ~ The actions we don’t like show us how we don’t want to act, ourselves. From our observation and...
The ego and memories
'THE EGO NARROWS WHAT WE REMEMBER.' ~Edward Norton, on Smartless podcast. These words struck me, as I’d never quite thought about it in this way, but I do think it’s very true. Maybe over new year’s and this first part of January we’ve been thinking back to 2022, or...
It’s OK If You Don’t Want It Anymore
YOU KNOW THAT THING YOU REALLY WANTED, OR THAT GOAL YOU’VE BEEN WORKING TOWARD? ~ Maybe it’s already worked out - you’re there or you got it! ~ Maybe you’re still on your way - still working toward it. IT’S OK IF YOU DON’T WANT IT ANYMORE. Of course, before making a...
Can we be the light for someone else
IF WE LOOK FOR SOMETHING GOOD, something positive, something ‘light’ wherever we are today, can we find it? Inviting each of us to look for a bit of ‘light’ wherever we are – in our surroundings, and in the people and things we surround ourselves with. And if we can’t...
We cannot control or change others
A simple reminder as we head into 2023: WE CANNOT CONTROL OTHERS - their behaviour or words. WE CANNOT CHANGE OTHERS. ~ We can offer up ideas of ways things could be done differently. ~ We can ask - even demand - that someone do things another way, or to stop saying...
About that thing that didn’t work out
YOU KNOW THAT THING YOU WANTED - maybe a long time ago, maybe really recently - but it didn’t happen, it didn't work out? A relationship, a job, an experience, a trip that got cancelled, whatever it is… Yeah - that thing! Stop going back there and thinking about how...
Be the landscaper of your imagination
I SEE THE IMAGINATION AS ONE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH OUR SPIRIT, our soul, our consciousness - exists and plays. Of course, our spirit, soul, consciousness (whatever word you’d like to use) is also us - existing in this 3D world. But I see the imagination as playing a...
