Make Sure You Are

Hi, beautiful friend, This is a NEW day. It can be whatever we want it to be. Sometimes it’s good to remember that… sometimes I need reminding by the hour 😉 How is the weather in your heart today? I hope you are being gentle and kind with your heart. Here’s what I am thinking about as I sit down to write to you. It’s so easy to assume we need to be like everybody else, following the leader, listening to the experts, making the appropriate moves. Except we are not everybody else, are we? You are YOU and I… …Read More »

It’s OK to Rest // Tea with Robin Episode 129

I wonder sometimes if we’re keeping in mind the kind of cloak of energy this pandemic can leave. We might be feeling the effects but that doesn’t necessarily mean we are personally depressed. So how do we work with that energy? There’s more to it than just staying busy and waiting for this time to be over. In this episode: Are we allowing ourselves some time to rest? Do we know that It is okay to rest? To give yourself some time to relax, unwind, to unload is an important self-care practice. When we factor in the kind of year we’ve… …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 »

How to be Yourself. You Are Not Just a Good Little Sheepie.

How to Be Yourself. The Story of the Rainbow Colored Unicorn Sheepie.

On how to be yourself and confidently love who you are and break free from of the herd of everyone else. May this go to just the right hearts today. All your life you tried to be the good little sheepie. From the time you were a baby ewe, you tried to fit in with the flock, dutifully doing the things that the other sheepies did. You ate grass. You stayed close to the herd. You perfected your “bah.” You wanted to be good. But sometimes, from the somewhere deep inside (in a place you liked to call Nowhere Land),… …Read More »

The Gazinta Principle: On Connecting Our Efforts to the Core Essence of our Shine

The Gazinta Principle

There’s a word I use when speaking to the way it feels when we know in our bones that something is right for us. This thing we are doing (or want to do) is a match to the way we feel on our insides about who we are and what we are HERE to do. The feeling indicates YES. Our very own kind of YES. The word I use for this is GAZINTA. And from this feeling, we know with big certainty that this is a right-for-us thing. Even when we’re unsure, Even when people are pushing us in a… …Read More »

Shine Bright Like a Diamond

Shine-Bright-Like-a-Diamond

Sometimes we refuse the right to be beautiful, creative, talented, and unique. Rather than shining our light, we expend enormous amounts of our personal energy trying to hold it in, tone it down, keep it quiet. We are humble and demure. We dumb ourselves down at the exact moment when we need to shine. There are people you encounter who could truly use some of your sunshine. Maybe it’s a smile or a kind word or some other kind of wonderfulness that only you can bring. This cannot happen if you send your brilliance to the basement every time someone… …Read More »
