TO LEAD WITH LOVE
Do you ever find yourself wanting more but not wanting to do the stuff that it takes to get you there? We all do it. Me too. I want really good health, and I am super lazy when it comes to preparing my meals. I forget to drink my 32 ounces of water a day. […]
How do you cure a vulnerability hangover? When your sharing and your becoming becomes, well…overwhelming! Do you tell yourself, “Do more”? Do you keep pushing? Do you allow yourself the little breaks? The pauses. The alone time. The time to integrate. Allow. Be. Breathe be-come, Not do-come. I am learning that my becoming is an […]
Enough is enough How long must we huff and puff Flex our abs and get all buff? Our calendars we overstuff. We keep acting all big and tough. When is it good enough? Who will dare to call our bluff? And when they do, we will surely rebuff. Because we are made of “tougher” stuff. […]
What’s the size of your stress compartment? We all have them. A place where we store stress. For now. It’s a physical place in our bodies like a drawer in our dresser. It has space for only so many folded shirts, or kon mari stacked underwear. Its cubic measurements are individual. But still limited. The […]
I was walking with my man one evening a few months ago. I had this realization that I was settling into my self as I had never yet done. I told him that it felt like settling into a comfortable armchair. This was a new experience. I have spent my life sitting at the front […]
What is the point of martyrdom? Why settle for just a crumb, When you own the entire queendom? You deserve the full income Not simply a sparse sum Why are we to succumb to having less because we are a mum? We provide for those around us, a place to grow, flourish, become, ensuring for […]
How many times a day do we silently— or not so silently— think to ourselves, “If only I had…” “If only I could…” “If only I could be more like her, like him, like them,” Anyone but ourselves. Such self-condemnation. Imagine saying this to your best friend. Or your child. “Why don’t you have more […]
Funny changes are happening. I was raised on “do more, try harder, and strive for the best.” This ethic landed me in my health crisis. Push… against whatever is in your way. Be stoic. Do not admit to being tired, exhausted, depleted. Keep a stiff upper lip. Do more. Sleep less. Success came from sacrifice, […]
Why do we stay attached to behaviours that are not good for us? We get some form of payoff. It might not be visible or tangible. Some payoffs are invisible and / or intangible. But there is always a payoff. We work too hard so that someone will say.. “Oh… you are working too hard. […]
Where are we going in our fast-paced striving? Who is in charge of this fast-past driving? Why are we literally, head-first “diving”? What is the point of this living, in the form of “surviving”? When do we truly honour heart-felt “thriving”?
