When you’re worried, or upset, or unable to focus, or triggered…

Hello, sweet friend, I am listening to James Taylor tell me he is the Handy Man and sipping a cuppa yum yum. I can hear birdies and a lawnmower and the bubbling of my little fountain outside. This moment right here and now is perfect. Here is the main thing that I wanna say… to myself today. And also to you because, friends on the journey. STAY IN YOUR CENTER. I guess that needs to be shouty sometimes, you know? We make ourselves crazy with worry and anxiety when we don’t. JUST BECAUSE IT’S UNCOMFORTABLE, IT DOESN’T MEAN YOU GET… …Read More »

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 »

Say Thank You If You’re Ready to Leave

  …or how to get over or get through or get past or get beyond whatever has been plaguing you without having to commit murder or become a monk on a mountaintop or anything else crazy or drastic before you can feel better 😉 “Whatever you accept completely you go beyond, if you fight it you’re stuck with it” — Eckhart Tolle Most of my life I was trained to believe that the way you get over something was to keep working through it. Keep processing the feelings, just keep working at it…just try a little harder, talk about it… …Read More »

Your Kindness Is Not a Permission Slip

People don’t always understand what they’re asking of you. When they want a little something extra, they’re not thinking about what this little extra will cost you. They’re not considering what their thinly veiled demand will mean to your sanctuary. They’re trying to get under the rope because they believe it matters. When we’re upset, we get a little messy. And we handle things badly. We all forget about common courtesies from time to time. BUT. That’s no excuse. You can’t let people run you over. Your kindness is not a permission slip. Stop trying to explain it to them.… …Read More »

Not My Circus, Not My Monkeys

not my circus, not my monkeys

Hello sweet Friends, Here we go launching into the holiday season and you know what that means! Between the moments of merry-making, there will be lots of opportunities for us to practice choosing peace and ease over the other stuff we could be swirling in. As you’re making your way, I am inviting you to remember a very important truth: You are not the monkey whisperer and this isn’t the circus. It’s just too hard to manage everyone and their whackness – and anyway, it’s not your job! Better for you to just practice good boundaries and watch your own… …Read More »

Boundaries: How to rock them without becoming a sweaty hot mess.

Boundaries. How to rock them without becoming a sweaty hot mess.

This is a little pep talk for those of you in the Love Posse who are having some rough times with standing up and honoring yourselves. If you’ve been experiencing kooky boundary stuff with people in your life–especially if it’s becoming somewhat of a recurring theme–this post is for you! Lots of us are confused about what boundaries look like on a spiritual path. Walking a spiritual path does not mean being walked on. A spiritual path is not about being good either. When I think about the tough stuff that comes up on the journey, I am often reminded… …Read More »

It’s Your Rodeo, Baby. Are You Getting in That Ring?

It

It’s your rodeo, baby. Are you getting in that ring or are you sitting this one out? Either way, the show goes on. If you’re in, best don your hat and grab your gear. You’re going to need it when you ride 🙂 Sure, your fearlessness and bravery will get you up on the horse, but it’s your courage and determination that will see you through to ride another day. Faking it only gets you so far. I am sure plenty of people can pretend to ride a horse…until they actually get on one and try it. But the difference… …Read More »

Don’t Let the Turkeys Get You Down

don

Or, How to not continue the crazy cycle of trying to please people who will never ever get you or understand you–not to mention why in the eff would we want to try and please the turkeys?! I know there are times when you think you’re too much, or too kooky. You worry about being too this, or too that. Judging who you are instead of lovingly embracing yourself no exceptions. And I am guessing that like me, you got into this bad habit because your people told you in one way or another that you were too much. Or… …Read More »
