With warmth & light,
Laila, my almost-eight-year-old asked me the other night,
"Mama, do you like playing with me and Flannery more? Or do you like working more?"
I looked in her eyes and I breathed. I asked her with a playfully raised eyebrow,
"Would you like my honest answer?"
I spoke with a client last week who said this, “I feel like I’m waiting for the kids to go to sleep each night so I can just breathe again.”
I’ve spoken with MANY clients who feel this way. I've had my own days that feel this way. It's a terrible feeling that brings on guilt and sadness and even shame.
And I promise you that there are simple, small steps you can take to find space for more breath, expansion, joy, purpose, and harmony in your life. Let's begin today.
This is the view I had for my snowy morning meditation yesterday. We had about four feet fall last week and another foot came down yesterday. Mother Nature has a lot to say these days.
I want to share with you something that’s been coming up in conversation with almost all of my private clients over the past couple of weeks.
It’s about partnership and how to move beyond the old stories, arguments, and loops we find ourselves in... Do you find yourself saying something like, “If he’d change this one thing our relationship would be so much better...” Or, “If only she’d understand how important this is to me...” Or, “Why doesn’t he get how this affects me?”
I ask you, in this moment, to move your focus from what he or she is doing right now to what it is you can heal and shift in your relationship from this day moving forward.
From Hectic to Harmonious 2015 begins in just three days on Monday, January 26th and I won't be offering this program again until January 2016. I want share three pictures from my life over the last few days that help me confess to you what this H2H journey is really about.
Picture #1:
On the winter solstice I had the grand idea of inviting some of my dear neighbors out for a hike in our local woods to celebrate the darkest day of the year.
When we got to the path it became immediately clear that our hike through the woods was covered in ice.
I had a nasty cold this week so I spent some time cuddled up on my couch with lots of tea, chicken soup, and I caught up on some great shows on my laptop. Watching a show that makes me laugh out loud, seeing a music video that brings tears to my eyes, reading an article that opens my mind to something new, these are all healing for me, just like the chicken soup I ate this week.
My family and I visited a place like no other this past weekend called Monhegan Island. It’s an island 12 miles off of the coast of Maine, known for it’s rocky coast line, cliffs, and tight community of about 40 people who live there year round.
Today I’m sharing a lesson I learned from some of my elders and dear family friends, Bob and Sally.
They live in what is nothing short of a magical tree house that they themselves built here in Maine some 30 years ago.
We visited them at their home in September and Bob gave us a tour of his garden that he’s been cultivating for over 15 years now.
So I know my posts of late have been on the heavy side. I don’t shy away from the tough stuff in life. I believe that the soul-stirring adventure becomes a rich one when we welcome the full spectrum of dark to light in.
Today I want to talk about a couple of ways I let the light in, even in times of sorrow or loss.
