Read This When You’re Beating Yourself Up Again

This is a love letter to my friends who struggle with repeating patterns of behavior and have a hard time breaking free. And sometimes beat themselves up about it. I put myself in that camp too. Ahhh what great company we keep! Hello Sweetie, I am writing to you now because I can see you are going there again. That thing you do has happened again and now you’re heading for that yukky-poo place you go to when you do the kinds of things you just can’t face. It’s okay if we don’t rehash what happened. I won’t make you tell… …Read More »

When Your Good Intentions Blow Up In Your Face

Sometimes, your good intentions are going to go wrong. Either someone you care about will feel misunderstood by what you said or did, or you’ll do something completely stupid outright (if you’re like me, you will only realize that in hindsight).

Permission granted :)

full permission to honor what is

Sometimes you need a visit from the Permission Fairy. She is the one who lifts your vibration and helps you get over the hurdle. When you ask her to visit, she will come along with her magic wand and bring her permission sparkles. The sparkles will help you to remember: You are a precious gem, your happiness matters. And you have full permission to live your life shining unapologetically. You have permission to say no and yes. Permission to know and speak your truth and then change your mind tomorrow. Permission to love yourself more fiercely even when it inconveniences… …Read More »

Finding Financial Peace During the Holidays

steward of abundance

The holidays are about love, not things. And yet, this is the time of year when we can feel pressured to splurge in ways we normally wouldn’t. We sometimes feel it’s easier to just spend the money than it is to face the temporary discomfort that the sense of guilt and obligation can bring. Our fear of letting other people down or upsetting them or looking like a cheapskate just seems harder to deal with. Except it isn’t. We only think it is. The holidays were never supposed to be about shame, guilt, or fear. They were never supposed to… …Read More »

The Three Things Philosophy

the three things by robin hallett

One day #1husband said to me, Robin, you need a philosophy. Something you can stand on. A firm foundation. Something you believe to the core and won’t waiver on when the Hollow Yogis come preaching their One True Gospel. Because Hollow Yogis. Ugh. I’d been getting my fill of them at the time (and I suspect #1husband was getting his fill of hearing me complain…) The thing is, without your own philosophy to guide your life by, it’s pretty hard to feel guided in your life 😜 …and that’s exactly why we seek for answers outside ourselves. We’re looking for… …Read More »

What to Do When You’re Upset

People Who Treat You Badly and What to Do About It

Wow, are there ever times when life brings us some crap! I don’t really know anyone who greets the upset that comes our way with glee, most of us run the other way. It can sure feel challenging to manage the vibes when they come. When you get upset, do you make space for what is happening? Are you able to allow life to happen as it does, even when you had other plans? Or are you someone who pushes on with getting stuff done… even when you’re feeling anxious and you might not be sleeping well? So many of… …Read More »

This Is Not Another “Just Suck It up and Keep Moving Forward” Post

Not Another "Just Suck it Up and Keep Moving Forward" Post

It is nearly impossible to birth yourself alone and on your own and yet every day I hear from people who are attempting to do just that. Rather than supporting the “just suck it up and keep moving forward” movement, I want to encourage you to stop and acknowledge the tender spots you find inside and make room for what they’re asking of you. These tender places bring guidance. They contain information and lots of nuggets that your spirit needs for the journey ahead. If you are someone who is asking, intention setting, focusing, and journaling with great regularity to… …Read More »

How to Remember You Are Spirit When Everything Feels like It’s Going Wrong.

you are a supercollider

You are infinite and timeless. A spark of the Divine. You come from somewhere else. This is the Truth we are practicing remembering. And even if we remember one fraction of a minute every other day, it still counts. You are not some finished product occasionally in need of a tiny tweaking. You are a spirit in a body who often needs help remembering the spirit part and then allowing it to influence the human part. Love is where you came from. Love is who you are. Most of us do really great remembering who we are when things are going well.… …Read More »

The Journey is a Crooked Line

The journey by robin hallett

Your journey goes in a crooked little line, not a perfectly straight one. It’s full of twists and turns and this gives you lots of curves and squiggles and I love that about you. But sometimes you get confused about the straight vs squiggle thing. When bad things happen, you greet them with some degree of, Oh shit, I am still not doing my journey right or this would not be happening to me! But this couldn’t be further from the truth, sweet friend. Your journey is not a straight shot. It doesn’t go from here to the moon at… …Read More »

Don’t Let It Bring You Down

Happiness by robin hallett

No matter what, this moment now is pretty awesome but I really get how hard it is to be in that place when you are feeling anxious and uptight about what is happening in your life. Our minds can zero in on some major crappenings and refuse to let go. The topics it can get stuck on are plentiful, from bills to messes to broken things to dramas to upset people and their complaints and all the stupidity and the way they can project their crap onto you… and then the migraines not to mention our kiddos or our pets… …Read More »
