The Peace and goodness that you create in your tiny corner in this world- your own personal experience- is an incredible gift to the whole.
Foster your peace. Create your goodness whenever you can, wherever you can. Each of those moments is a great gift to the world. And when you simply cannot, rest your heart and be gentle on you.
Your tiny corner reflects out. It continuously sings outward and affects all in ways subtle to the most magnificent.
A kind, peaceful, generative moment in your life matters more and reaches farther than you can fathom.
Don’t let these Black Friday ads low-spire you into selling yourself short when it comes to the company you keep during the holidays (or anytime, really).
Remember: there is an energetic exchange made with everyone we spend time with. The price/energy exchange to access you never needs to be slashed, diminished, discounted or bargained over. You no longer have to force yourself to spend time with people that continuously make you feel less than.
This year end time is especially precious; it’s actually potent! It’s a powerful choice to spend your time in the places + spaces that feel good and right to you. You deserve to spend your time well and with people that suit you- however traditional or nontraditional that may look to others.
Try doing a little something new to you this holiday season. Celebrate your choice to living more uniquely you. Be curious and playfully try new ideas out. You have full permission to create new traditions that feel wonderful and supportive!
You truly deserve to celebrate and feel celebrated with the company you keep.
For anyone seated on the struggle bus around world events recently, it’s a perfect time to talk personal non-reaction and the power it holds for healing and change. You don’t have to look far before someone or something is placed right up in your face exactly exemplifying what you believe is “wrong” with the world and humanity. Every single one of us are met with moments like these and if we are looking for evidence of wrongness- it will greet us everywhere. The best news is that these moments offer a great energetic punch of power if we decide to slow down, feel our way and direct our focus with some tender, loving care.

Non-reaction and being internally “seated” within an observatory space during a moment or situation of intense struggle/discomfort creates a gateway into some very deep self introspection and potential for healing available to all of us. Remember that non-reaction does not bypass emotions or wounding or wrongness, nor does it condone that which is without light/love/divine wisdom and knowing. It facilitates an environment of internal calm that is necessary for the work of understanding, information gathering, and betterment/improvement to commence.
A response of quiet or stillness does not dull our rage or sadness or the injustice we witness or experience. We can allow the fullness of our feels in these moments. It is a thing of love to allow our emotions to be without judgment or condemnation. BIG LOVE. Responding with observation while fully feeling along the way opens a window into our beliefs and what and who we feel stacked against. This approach provides such clarity and information that if we’re willing to bravely look we can see the roots, the webs, the core of any issue. We can truly examine our true Self in these moments + see/feel/know any limits that we have placed on our love and compassion for our Self and for others, and create space for more understanding. It is here in the calm that we can finally see opportunities around new perspectives and the better ways forward.

Non-reaction also allows for our personal power resources to avoid unnecessary depletion. Every time we respond to stimuli, our energy bank takes a hit. These energy banks naturally replenish, but it doesn’t always happen quickly if we’re overloaded and continuously responding in a world that never ceases communicating while in a body that never ceases receiving information.
We need our personal power resources charged up to ensure that we are ready to do the things that matter. We know it’s time to move/response once we feel empassioned and inspired to the point where we cannot help but move and the actions are palpably satisfying. That is what I call a worth while response. “If it isn’t inspired and truly moving me, is it really worth my time?”
Getting bent out of shape (aka losing our alignment to who/what we naturally are) too often is exhausting, unnecessary, and not even sustainable. Not a single one of us are meant to singlehandely change this world, nor do we have much chance at making our own brilliant unique marks on it when we’re consistently upset in reponse to what we might see/hear/feel. Know this: it matters so much that we pay attention to what we are choosing to do with our focus.
…it matters so much that we pay attention to what we are choosing to do with our focus.
This is the work of light and love (divine wisdom), and you are so worthy of it. We are all so worthy of compassion, understanding and support.
“I release any fear or block preventing me from expressing my most joyful, brilliant desires.”
DAY FOUR: Cutting ones hopes and dreams short because they’re not doable/sustainable/achievable/acceptable is a belief system that has many subscribers. Dreaming up and allowing yourself the freedom to step into new experiences inspired by those dreams provides a guiding path that allows us to further align with that which brings us the most fulfillment. The divine works directly through us when we choose to experience fulfillment. We limit our capacity for attracting magnificence when we temper the greatness of that which we want and we choose to not give it attention and exploration. We are not speaking of the humming of wants or ideas that both arrive and then fade quickly out so much as those same consistent desires that are constantly knocking on your imagination or mind. These desires ask to be painted more vividly, asking for more time to add more detail and vision… Asking you to consider making them real.
True desires are not just there to satisfy your imagination. They are present to guide you, enrich your life, bring you joy, bring you expansion by way of new experiences. They WANT to take form.
“I’ve always wanted to live near/on the water.”
“I could never learn enough about Italy.”
“I wonder about what would happen if I wrote that book.”
“I always think about being able to get away by myself for a weekend, just me and without my family, to explore a new place. Even just once.”
Do not forget, bright beautiful one, that you are worthy of the world – a most beautiful world full of a great range of experiences. Today we say yes to our heart’s imaginative desires and to dream them bigger and more beautifully. We accept that dreams are meant to evolve, expand, and grow. We have waved our goodbye to anything holding us back from our most divine, loving dreams and creations. Here’s to our most expansive desires and an amazing journey of bringing them to form.
“I easily identify confusion and embrace my loving internal guidance in all matters of importance and interest to me.”
DAY THREE: Confusion can act as a great beacon to that which we are struggling with to understand. It can also lead us to frustration, fear, or anger if allowed to fester without adequate exploration. As much as we can find facts and opinions outside of ourselves, the true clarity is found when we go within to our heart – the location of our loving, unfaltering internal guidance system.
Today we welcome the absolutely loving nature of our heart and soul and the incredible wealth of wisdom that lies within each of us. The true Light Within. May we embrace our most loving self to allow the door of our own innate wisdom to open completely and guide us into brighter, deeply satisfying ways to live, express, and co-create with each other.
“I give myself 100% permission to be authentically in union with my soul in voice, thought, heart, and essence.”
DAY TWO: There is no inner component of you that is more aligned with everything that will bring you greatest fulfillment as your soul is aligned with you. Your soul is lovingly complicit in embracing your personality (your soul thinks your personality is the absolute TOPS) and hopes for nothing but the most meaning and joy in your life. Satisfactions are often short lived and limited until you start aligning with your soul’s purpose and calling.
How do you know your purpose? It’s that which really gives you life; it sustains you. You may need a break or rest now and then, but you continuously come back for more. It is the stuff that makes you feel like you’re making an impact in your being and in the world. It lights you up, emboldens you. Everyone’s calling is different and uniquely yours, but when you’re lucky you connect with others with similar soul passions. Those connections are an absolute gift.
So, today we give permission to align with that which brings us more of ourselves, in harmony with our loving, amazing souls. Let us live life more closely entwined with our authenticity than ever before. Let our soul’s show us more of who we truly are, and guide us forward into greater, more loving ways of being and co-creating. Let the love and compassion that is always present and strong in our authentic self light the way as we create new ways of being and living. ✨
