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 »

Little Birdies Need Love Too: Understanding Why We Numb in Order to Cope

Many of us turn to numbing out as a coping strategy. I wish it wasn’t so hard to talk about openly. I hope my sharing helps you. I turned 52 this year. I’ve been loving myself more fiercely.  Making peace with my heart. Accepting who I am. Releasing who I am not. I’m deepening my love and appreciation for the parts of me I’ve struggled with. Less war and shame, more love and appreciation. Yay! I still struggle to find compassion. It’s getting better all the time though. Still, there are times when I find myself saying, Seriously? Even now,… …Read More »

Enlightenment Is Really Just Remembering

What To Do About Upset on Social Media

“Wow, I am so surprised to hear that you still struggle with this!” I had been sharing about my bouts with depression and this person commented that they were so surprised to hear that I still struggled after all this time. And honestly, it pissed me off for a while — when people talk down at you as if their stuff is all together and yours isn’t, it can be a bit triggering. (ahem, especially when from where you’re standing, it is so not the case) And then I touched in with the sorry knowing: Many of us believe IT… …Read More »

Life Loves You and Just Can’t Quit You

This love note is about turning your story around and becoming willing to see how every crappening is actually an opportunity. May it serve you and uplift you and help your heart to heal. Hello, sweet friend! I have a feeling you don’t always realize how loved and cherished you are. At times it’s hard for you to believe that you’re an adored, valued member of the Universe. Especially when things go wrong and screw up on us, it feels like that’s the truth. We’re not as special as everyone else. And we blame ourselves thinking it’s our fault. It… …Read More »

Let Yourself off the Hook. Do Whatever You Want. Let Go.

Let Yourself off the Hook. Do Whatever You Want. Let Go. How to not lose it when things go wrong.

Or, what to do when you’re in a funk and you can’t make yourself do anything “productive” and you just wanna hang it all up and head for the coast but you’re scared that this will mean the end. I’m drinking coffee and reading Stephen King. The windows are open, I’m listening to crickets and the smell of smell of fresh cut grass fills the kitchen. The yumminess of this takes me back to a time when I had no responsibilities and life felt pretty easy. I take a beat and breathe it in. This doesn’t magically erase my heavy… …Read More »

Today Is the Day We Love and Appreciate Ourselves

sometimes life opens us like a flower

Hi, beautiful friend, The reality is you are a magnificent, miraculous being. Always awesome, always loved, exactly as you are. And. I totally get that many days it simply does not feel true. We can judge ourselves so harshly sometimes. Stories and bad memories on repeat. Questioning our actions. Shaming our decisions. Often these go unchecked because what we’re thinking and feeling seems to be fact. But they’re not. Thoughts you’re having about yourself or your situation generate the corresponding feelings. Yay or yuck–our thoughts had something to do with that. If this is resonating, let’s try it differently today.… …Read More »

Happy New Year, 2021

Happy new year, gorgeous beauty! Collective exhale. There have been many gifts and new beginnings in 2020 but whoa, who is ready for something NEW in 2021?! I’ve never been much of a resolutions girl myself, but I have been thinking about a resolution I wish we all would make this year. And that is to be kinder and more accepting of ourselves, exactly as we are. It’s not that there aren’t things we want to change, do better at, achieve. And there are also things we want to release. But underneath all of this? There’s this person in a… …Read More »

Never Apologize for Your Awesomesauce. Make the Choice to Be in Your Shine.

Hello, beautiful friend, Sometimes we forget who we truly are, so this love note is to call the remembrance in. Here’s what I keep thinking about. In every moment we can choose between moving joyfully forward or in apologetic retreat. We can share our sparkles or hold them back. But when we hold them back, it’s like apologizing for how amazing we are and how awesomely we’ve crafted our lives. Lots of us feel guilty for being who we are. For being so good, so kind, so creative. We may have been made to feel like sharing our good is… …Read More »

Awareness Appreciation Day

Sharing some space with you. Getting the cooking on and lots of rearranging for winter cozies over here. How about you? Here’s a snippet from this week’s Happy Mail ✉️🤗🙏👇 I appreciate the ride we share together. For the bolstering this space gives us both. And for the reminder that we are not alone in remembering we are awake and we choose to practice despite the wobbles we experience. It is one of the best commitments I have made and kept, I am so glad to say! A gentle reminder for us both: This is a new season with new… …Read More »
