The Crack Where the Light Gets In

The Crack Where The Light Gets In by Robin Hallett

Hi. This was originally written Nov 2016. We were in interesting times and always, there is a personal relation to those times. Wanted to share here again, it feels so relevant. Hugs, Robin I’ve been spending a lot of time in quiet. Trying to get my bearings, waiting for the ride to slow. I’m reminding myself to breathe, to soften. Giving myself the little extras. I keep asking: Why am I so upset? Part of me is surprised to be feeling this way. As if it’s a problem, an inconvenience. As if some part of me is difficult because I… …Read More »

Resistance is futile. We’re here for tangible joy.

Happiness by robin hallett

I want to tell you a little story. It’s one I’ve wanted to tell you for a while except for the worry that I’d sound like I drank the Kool-Aid. And as much as I try not to pre-pad my posts with preparatory remarks, I think we need one. Things are about to sound really weird. But maybe only for me. Maybe not for you?! The first time it happened to me, it was the middle of the night. I was deeply asleep one moment, and the next, I wasn’t. Something shook me awake. I bolted upright, heart pounding hard.… …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 »

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 »

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 »
