Space For Wholeness

That junk drawer is overflowing. That closet is jam-packed. That backpack can just about be zipped.

For all that you desire, you need to make room for it.

Preferences

We often force our beliefs and desires into the present moment. As a result, we miss the beauty of the moment, the potential in the moment, the newness of the moment.

Your Past Is No Copilot

It happened. You still remember it. You still feel it. You still wonder what could have been different about it. You’re also not obligated to give it attention. You’re not required to carry it into new experiences. You do not need to include it in your plans.

The Dance

Trying to equal everything out can be exhausting. The truth is, there will be times when you get knocked over, or feel off, or you even find yourself in a sweet groove. How you choose to respond, nit matter the circumstances is the dance.

Perfect

We are fallible. We do make mistakes. We screw up. We fail. We trip. We fall. And guess what? All of that makes us human. Accepting imperfection and learning from it is how we grow, heal, and love.

Journey of Love

This is personal for me. I’ve struggled mightily this year with misinformation, conspiracies, and alternative facts. I am not a politician, a scientist, or an expert in way shape or form. I am a human being trying to live empathetically, compassionately, and lovingly. And guess what, I still fail at it. Until I can consistently and wholeheartedly live a life of love, everything else seems secondary to me. You can be right and I’ll be wrong. You can believe the world is out to get you while I try to be a gentler human being. You can seek out and promote darkness (as if we need reminding) while I try to shine my light. You can be curious about wrongdoing while I try to learn how to do love. I’m not perfect. I’m not better than. I’m not an elite. I’m not spiritually superior. I am a human being on a journey of love...

Talk About Love

Afraid? Talk about love. Got a problem? Talk about love. Going through a tough patch? Talk about love. Unsure of your next step? Talk about love. Having a disagreement? Talk about love. Trying to heal? Talk about love. Want change? Talk about love.

In Love

Fear keeps you small. Comfort keeps you stagnant. Doubt keeps you stuck. Love lifts you up. Love moves you. Love nurtures. Love transcends.

Be Honest

We can be so creative in the ways we self-sabotage. Of course, our own narrative can contribute the most to holding ourselves back. How we frame possibility. How we allow fear to be in the driver seat. And how we choose numbing familiarity over the expansive potential of disruptive change. In all of it, we bend and twist and sometimes force gratitude into the mix. Contentment is a state of clam. Settling is accepting less than what you desire. Gratitude is appreciation for it all. Leaning does not come from certainty. Growth is not stagnant. Be.
