Unfolding.

Do it all with Love. Nothing is promised. But everything is workable.

Calm is a Superpower.

Superpower. Calm. How do we get from being stuck in our mind with endless chatter to a peaceful warrior superpower? How do we access the calm, which sets the conditions for compassion, gratitude, clarity, wisdom, connection, collaboration? First, we recognize the energy waste of spinning in rumination. Then we realize that creating space and calm, maybe with a breath, maybe with a meditation, maybe with a yoga practice; is an effective place to hang out.

We Can Do Hard Things.

What’s the role of joy when things are actually really tough?

We are all connected to something greater than ourselves.

Only when we are in the darkness, can we shine as a light. Only when we are brought to task, and put on the line, do we realize, I actually belong. I am important enough to be given this challenge. I will rise to this battle with strength and light.
