Proud of You, Starting Now

How to feel proud of yourself Proud of You, Starting Now

Happy New Year, beloved, I’m sending love and a hug and high fives for our collective launch into 2019! This is that time of year when we tend to look backward and forward and for some of us, the energy can get a bit weird. It can feel disappointing to be here where we are noticing what we do. It can feel like there’s still so very far to go. I’ve gotten many emails and messages from friends here in our Love Posse about that this week. If that’s you too, this message is for you. Today is day one… …Read More »

Here’s to the Dark Angels in Our Lives

what to do when you're upset

Here’s to the dark angels in our lives who come to wake us up. They bring their stinky gifts…the ones which whisper to our parts on the verge of readiness to advance. Stinky gifts which come in crappy packaging, and require some work before we can get to the good part. What I am talking about when I say, Dark Angel: • The mother in law who seems blind to the beauty and delight of your amazing children • The guy who constantly speaks to you like you’re an idiot is finally so far over the line you are pushed… …Read More »

What We Can Do in Times Like These

what we can do in times like these

I have no interest in adding any more darkness in the world. I will not contribute to the anger, the meanness. I’m not interested in dissonance. Don’t talk to me about the assholes who are making things worse for the world, instead tell me what YOU are doing to be a force for good. Tell me what you’re doing to contribute something helpful. Love is my dharma and I will practice this wherever I go. In times of personal conflict it’s my practice, when clients call with family drama and tragic loss it’s my practice, and in world events–hello racial… …Read More »

Sending Love and Light to Orlando and Everyone Everywhere

how to send love and light

I wish it was never the case that we suffer tragedy. Truly, I wish that we could find a way to be at peace–especially with each other when we disagree. That the energy of love and respect be there always–especially in how we choose to respond to horrible things people do. Sometimes my friends say I am a truth teller. And usually when they do, there is this little feeling of shame inside and a voice that says yeah but I am always afraid, (always afraid) to talk about my perspective on sending love in times of violence. I have… …Read More »

Yo Ho, Me Hearties, Yo Ho!

sacred-bird-by-robin-hallett

I was talking to my friend today and she said all serious-like, you know if we commit to a forgiveness practice, stuff is most definitely going to come up for healing. And then we made the crazy eyes at each other. And then the peals of laughter came…because I have committed and she has committed along with many other friends of ours, and oh yes baby, the stuff is most definitely coming up for healing. Deeper, tougher stuff. The stubborn kind. I am facing all kinds of stuff I hadn’t expected already. And you know what? I am happier than… …Read More »

The Horrible Uglies We Never Tell

the horrible uglies we never tell by robin hallett

I always say I am not much of a journaler… but I have 20 years of journals here. Sometimes I tell #1husband, should I croak unexpectedly, forget making me look presentable…go find those journals and burn them! More and more, I realize there are stories I am carrying that need to go. These are stories which aren’t serving me… but they’re inside me still. These little light nibblers get in the way, sucking up the juju available. In the way. Holding me back. Informing my NOW with stories about can’t, won’t and don’t. I call them the Horrible Uglies because… …Read More »

Love is the Medicine

love is the medicine

I woke up this morning to hear the news about the bombings in Brussels. I stopped what I was doing, took a deep centering breath, placed my hands on my heart and prayed. I asked that everyone involved, touched, connected to this happening be surrounded in light. I asked that the suffering would be eased, and the healing take place. I asked that the highest and best possible outcome for all concerned happen now. And then I turned off the TV and began sending love. Whenever I thought about Brussels, I sent my love. I am still convalescing after my… …Read More »

Rainbow suspenders are forever, Robin

for Robin Williams dealing with grief

  My friend texted me to say Robin Williams had taken his own life. Nanu nanu, she said. Rainbow suspenders forever, I said. This amazing, bright, shining, funny man who delighted the world has decided to leave on his own terms. We don’t really know what happened, but for sure it is shockingly sad to hear the news. Sad to imagine how his wife and family are doing. Wherever Robin is now, he gets it. He understands. Death is an experience for the living. We’re the ones experiencing that shock and sadness, we are the ones still here, we’re feeling… …Read More »
