Determining what is important to you is crucial. What you focus on is what you receive more of- have you ever noticed that? When you start thinking about blue cars, there are suddenly blue cars everywhere. When you start thinking about red roses, you start seeing them as you move about your day. So, the … Continue reading Important.

Action.
Today is a day of energy and movement. The sun is warm and the temperature is high... This makes for the ideal conditions to set plans in motion. Spring Cleaning is underway. I've been scared to get going on this because if I sit and stare at it all for too long the project seems … Continue reading Action.
Ground.
The snow is receding and the grass is starting to grow and green. I'm excited. Last year I really tired to get into the habit of allowing my skin to touch the Earth. Have you ever considered how much we insulate ourselves from exposure to any elements? We wear shoes everywhere. We wear warm jackets … Continue reading Ground.
Dress.
"Dress for the job you want, not the job you have." I grew up hearing this. The only issue I had with it was that I didn't know what job I wanted. I didn't have any idea how to dress because I had no idea what I wanted to do. Over the years I've settled … Continue reading Dress.
Journaling.
I owe where I am today to journaling. I started daily journaling in 2018 and since then have discovered so much about my internal world. There was so much there that I couldn't comprehend until I got it out on paper. My mind was an expert at avoiding, burying, and denying anything that set me … Continue reading Journaling.

As I have been moving through this space, I find that my body wants me to take the occasional soak. It's been extremely … Continue reading Soak.
Jump.
What would you do if you knew you could not fail? That you would be successful in every metric you hold dear? Would you apply for that dream job? Would you ask for that bonus? Would you start that blog? Would you start that podcast? Would you start training for a triathlon? Would you knit … Continue reading Jump.
Spring.
Spring is a time of rebirth and renewal. In the past I have not gotten on board with Spring and the promise of new growth and new opportunity. This year I am moved to behave differently and with more mindful intention. The seasons are a cyclical opportunity to move through phases of expansion and contraction. … Continue reading Spring.
Hidden Joy.
Joy doesn't come from the absence of misery or difficulty, it often arises despite it. It can come from acknowledging reality without grasping and causing more suffering and allowing what is happening to just be. As well, trusting your intuition and moving through adverse times gently and with deep reverence for what you are being … Continue reading Hidden Joy.
Root.
The Root Chakra (the Muladhara Chakra) is the place of security and stability. Safety. What comes to mind when you think of your safest feeling place? For me, it's my bed. When I'm not feeling well or well connected I can get snuggled in and safe. My dog is usually with me... further protection from … Continue reading Root.
