A Declaration of Self Care
Hello all! This is a wonderful post originally from Mara Glatzel. I love this, I preach this, I believe this and I wanted to pass it along. Allow yourself to work with yourself today, and be gentle with you. We are all we have, sweet friends, and we are enough. You are enough. There is enough today…enough time, enough money, enough love, enough breath. So for just a second, relax your shoulders. Take a deep breath and allow that Calm Voice to whisper encouragement in your ears. There is only now, so deepen into the moment and allow yourself to Be Here Now. You are worth...
Read MoreI’m Actually Not That Busy, Either
Hello all! I saw this post and wanted to share it. I’m coming off a several day silent retreat and this was a perfect reminder as I do re-entry. This is a a total cut and paste, I have added nothing to it. The original post from SuperHero Life, by Andrea Scher, can be found here. Enjoy 🙂 This is my new mantra: I’m actually not that busy. It doesn’t sound spiritual or like something you heard at your yoga class. It might not even feel true the first few times you say it! But it’s changing my life.

Our hearts ache in compassion for those impacted and those working to help, in Boston and all over the globe.

In times such as this, I think it’s human to want to retaliate, to add aggression to an already confused and painful situation, to want to strike out in our own pain...
Read MoreYou are not broken. You are more ready than you think.

Without further ado, here is her beautiful post, the main site can be found here. You Are Not Broken. You Are More Ready Than You Think. On Thursday, I came across a prompt from Erika Lyremark from The Daily Whip that said: If you had the world’s undivided attention for 10 seconds, what would you say?

Fear doesn’t frighten me as much as it used to. I know it’s from clinging and I know it will pass. I can tell myself, “I’m frightened now because even though I know what’s true, I have forgotten it right now. I know the possibility of remembering exists.” That possibility, that conviction, gives me a lot of hope in the middle of the biggest fright. – Sylvia Boorstein Whatever may be scaring you today, we send you Big Light and hope. Hang in there, you are smarter and more capable than you may think, and no doubt you are doing a better job than you think you are. Be kind and gentle...
