Wondering what to do? Feeling guilty for doing things you enjoy? Feeling stuck?

Tell me, how are you?

Today just a few thoughts on moving 'forward' when it feels like the whole world has been locked shut.

As always I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Today, I received the loveliest audio messages in my Instagram DM's. They made me cry. (in a good way)

Thank you to Rosa @alifeofwhimsey and Jo @redhouseinthewoods for inspiring this podcast and allowing me to share a little snippet of your message here.

How are you?

In this upside down, social distancing world... I'm not sure I've ever felt so connected.

Just me?

Today, I wanted to check in, ramble a little and share a writing practice you might wanna try on.

I wrote a blog post about losing my voice and elastic waist pants.

In this episode, I wanna share this and a little more with you.

How are you? I love you.

show notes ... soon on my site. ♡

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. 

― Harriet Tubman

i'm excited to share this idea with you...think-ing as if. practical, doable... life change-able.

we're continually think-ing as if... thinking as if we can or thinking as if we can't.

our thoughts determine our actions and ultimately our results.

How are your thoughts around a write practice serving you? how are your thoughts around that thing you want to do serving you? Are you think-ing as if you can? or you can't?

with love.

when the world comes crashing at your feet it’s okay to let others help pick up the pieces if we’re present to take part in your happiness when your circumstances are great we are more than capable of sharing your pain” —Rupi Kaur

Someone I love is hurting. It's not my story to tell.  But oh my, how I wish I could help heal her heart.

I wish for the right words. Something to ease the pain. All that I have, all that I know...

'i love you. i'm so sorry. i'm here. i love you.'

Pain ... no shortcuts or easy outs.

But oh how I wish I could give that to her.

Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning."

― Benjamin Franklin

Oh life. How I love you. One thing, one moment, leads to the next and so begins a whole other journey. I wouldn't change a thing.

This week a story of falling down and eventually falling in love with the world around me.

This story was originally shared in my photography class, a month of multiples, but still applicable to the 'write life' practice.

A Month of Multiples Class

Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings. 

– William Arthur Ward

You have everything you need for complete peace and total happiness right now.”

― Wayne Dyer

We teach best what we most need to learn.

Today, something I know in my soul, but often forget. Maybe you too? Shiny objects often call to me.... in the form of classes, tech, gear, software... The truth is, I have all I need to move forward with the next step and the next. (and repeat)

Can you relate?

Is there something your brain keeps trying to tell you.... You need this before you can do that?

At the top of the page

Everything I need, I already have. Then make a list...that meets you, right where you are. (blessings, knowledge, skills, gifts, things).

Lean in.

You've got this. xx

Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry – all forms of fear – are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of non-forgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence.

– Eckhart Tolle
