Obstacles along one’s path are inevitable. It’s how we choose to manage those obstacles that matters. One day a while back while attempting to go hiking with my #1 girl Izee, we came across more than one in my obstacle. Obstacles that had us pause, pivot and try again.

In Each Moment
Beauty is all around us. At all times. Do you see it? Can you see it? If you look, you will find it. I promise.
Drinking = Norm?
Why is it that our society is so quick to judgmentally ask “why aren’t you drinking?” like asking, “what’s wrong with you (for not drinking)?” but yet we never ask, “Why are you drinking?” When did drinking become such a normalized standard? I am not even going to address the effects of alcohol on theContinueContinue reading “Drinking = Norm?”

The room was filled with a array of people (ages, colors, backgrounds, experiences. etc). Most were strangers to me. Each of us had 2 opportunities toContinueContinue reading “A Stranger Connection”
Constant Hum
It rattled through me, settling deep in my heart. A constant hum vibrating softly. A mindful reminder to be grateful and to continuously hear within. Bring courage to the surface shattering my fears Fears that are self-inflicted and fears that are learned. Expressing the unexpressed through compassionate words. Loving-kindness actions with conscious silence.
Give

To give from the heart.To give without expectation.To give with the unknowing of what others will receive.To give knowing you gave all you had. You can’t control what others receive. You can’t even control what others think you can receive. Giving isContinueContinue reading “Give”
