Where are you right now? Where is your awareness right now? The phrase "where attention goes energy flows" has been coming to mind for me a lot lately. So, where is my attention? When I look at the majority of the day, my attention tends not to be on anything in the present moment. If … Continue reading Presence.

Alignment.
I've been trying to sit with what it means to me to live in alignment with my highest self. At this moment it feels like living in a way that allows me to exist with grounded confidence and encourages me to show up in this world knowing where I have strength and abundance to contribute. … Continue reading Alignment.
Not Here for the “Likes”.
Why do we care so much if someone "likes" our online posts? I've been considering this idea for some time and I find it fascinating. I try not to care, I say I don't care, but at the end of the day I am just like everyone else. Looking for some sort of validation. Some … Continue reading Not Here for the “Likes”.
The Dining Room.
Our dining room is a mess... An honest-to-goodness disaster area. I hate it. I hate sitting in it. I don't feel at home eating in it. I hate looking at it. I hate the energy I feel from it. I was journaling the other day, like I do. Every single day I try to write … Continue reading The Dining Room.
Sleep.
Life hasn't been smooth-sailing lately. I have been quietly wading through a trough in my depression/anxiety experience these past few weeks. I'm grateful for recovering, however slowly. I'm also extremely grateful for the new insights I've had this time around. It's amazing what a look at the basics will yield... a good honest look at … Continue reading Sleep.

Save Yourself.
Save a part of yourself for yourself. Always. You don't have to give every single ounce of yourself away. I once lived under the delusion that I owed everybody everything. I gave 1000% of my effort, energy, and attention to everything because I thought I was only as good as what I gave to the … Continue reading Save Yourself.
The New Moon.
I've started paying attention to the Moon Phases in the past couple of years. It's amazing what a difference tracking the Moon makes when you look at cycles of energy expansion and contraction. The idea is that in the time between the New Moon and the Full Moon, energy expands as the Moon waxes, and … Continue reading The New Moon.
Go Gently.
Move mindfully. Breathe. Deeply. Ground down. Root. Securely. Release slowly. Feel. Intensely. Move as mindfully into your day as possible with deep breaths and deep intention. Ground down into yourself and root securely into your awareness. Slowly release everything that needs to be acknowledged and hold gentle attention on your precious self. It is all … Continue reading Go Gently.
Feel No Evil.
I am the Queen of Avoidance. I say this not as a brag or a proclamation of my greatness, but as a description of the hereditary and culturally upheld nature of this trait. When I was growing up, there was a familiar refrain "ignore it and it will go away." Variations of this included "don't … Continue reading Feel No Evil.
