TRUTH RISES AT VARIABLE SPEEDS// The Window of Opportunity in "Before" and "After"

I’m starting to believe (based on experience and intuition) that there are certain times in our life where we are like a vessel. A set of circumstances happens, world or personal events line up and some part of life cracks open.

ARE YOU USING YOUR TIME// Deciding to Spend Less Time on Instagram

A few months ago I said to @sparkclarity "I don't think I'm going to look back and be like 'I wish spent more of my late twenties and early thirties on Instagram.'" While we laughed about this and thought it was hilarious, it's real, a serious concern, and I’ve kept thinking about it.

ARE YOU ON YOUR PATH// Practice, Change and Accepting the Past

If you're working to change and interested in growth, there will be slip ups; when you-know you know better but cave to an old pattern anyway. You can consciously be aware that something is not healthy, and still do it. This is part of the process of change.

MAKING SPACE// Calling In and Letting Go

The nature of bringing certain things into your life
will require movement.
Shifting, clearing, releasing.
Calling in requires space,
And space is made by letting go.

BE PATIENT WITH YOUR MIND

Working on yourself to heal and do better is like taking inventory. You first work with what you already know. Layers like onions, peeling back one at a time in a non attached, curious, patient way. Because when you meet a layer you didn’t know about, you treat it with kindness, investigate it, figure out the best way to unravel, how to set that part free.

FAILURE, COURAGE, AND HEARTACHE// On Being Where You Are

Accepting where you’re at is tender, but that softening brings you back to the moment and into your body. When we want something to be different than it is we miss out on our lives. Wanting uncomfortable feelings to pass, or waiting for a moment in the future, is wishing your life away.

CHANGE// Zero Waste Living Doesn’t Happen Overnight.

Changing how you live doesn’t happen overnight. Often we want quick results, but that’s not how things work… We do our best. And sometimes it will be great, and other times it won’t.

TURN THE PAGE// Write Your Story

All day we’re presented with opportunities to tell a different story, to make new choices that move the narrative of our lives in any direction. And this can be as simple as a shift in perspective, changing how we think about ourselves or our situation.

LOVE//

And these things; the ways we hold on, grasp and tighten, are what get in the way of connection, compassion and love; with ourselves, with others, with our body or breath, and gratitude for beauty in the present moment.

CLUTTER AND ZERO WASTE// The Hidden Benefits of Letting Go

I started refilling coffee in reusable jars not because of Zero Waste, but because I needed a solution for my clutter problem…Keeping stuff you don’t need or want, because you’re worried about what will happen to it, doesn’t solve wastefulness…
