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.

S2E8 : How About Resisting?

How we think about our lives influences how we feel about our lives. How we talk about our lives to others and to ourselves affects our mood, our outlook, and our sense of self-worth. The beautiful thing is, we can control how we think and talk about our lives!

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...

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.
