On this most miraculous day, remember to let yourself revel in all that it took to get you to this very day and this very moment in your life. You have traveled so many roads of so many different sorts to make it to this place, and it’s only right to look back and honor all you have survived, built, learned, celebrated, endured, healed, burned, planted, and created, all the way up to this day. It’s wonderful to think about where you want to go next, too. But just for a moment, allow yourself the time to sit with every victory, every failure, every lesson, every relationship, every miracle, every blessing, every sickness, every project, every bounty, every famine, every mountain you’ve climbed, every sea you’ve floated in. All of it. To make it all the way to this day was a feat that deserves a sense of awe from every cell of your being. You did it. You made it. It took thousands of people who came in and out of your life. It took millions of decisions you made moment by mo...

Every day we get fooled into thinking ridiculous things. You may be fooled into thinking, after you have tried on the 7th outfit of the morning...fretting and worrying over how slimming, how flattering and how new and fashionable each one is...that you have acne on your face, that your friendships, your motherhood, your marriage or your day depends on what you wear. You might even be fooled into thinking that the kind of car that you drive determines who you are as a human being....or that the neighborhood you live in decides your worth. The key to happiness is recognizing just how ridiculous these beliefs are....even if people around us are also fooled into believing them. The people who matter in your life don't care what you wear, that you have acne on your face, what you drive or where you live. They love that beautiful heart of yours. Sure we can feel uncomfortable wearing something that you don't feel is flatte ning enough and having acne on your face. I get it...

One of the best things about life is having choices available to us every day and one of the hardest parts of life is having choices available to us every day.  There are so many ways to spend our time, so many things to be a part of. There are so many things to learn, so much to do. We try our best to make good choices, don’t we?

Every day the sun comes up and shines a light on our lives .Every day it comes up, without fail, whether we notice it and accept the gift of it or not. And every day it goes to bed and we get to rest from what it shined a light on. And there is the light of the stars and the moon to still show us the way, but not so much that we can’t rest from it all. 
This is such a great lesson for us. There seems to be a theme this week on my social media that you have been asking for. Monthly Cycles. Sure we feel uncomfortable when we have our cycle, a little cramp like and just want to sit on the couch all day. I want to give you permission to do just that, sit on the couch and chill. Your body is doing a massive job shedding the old away.  Choice is a gift and a responsibility. Just about everything hinges on what we decide to do next. It is a beautiful thing when we remember to be the captain of  our own choices. 8 My Favorites to use during my monthly cycle 1. Clary calm- For PMS, cr...

Being a human is tough work. While sometimes it appears that we're not getting anything done at all, really we are making so many small and large strides towards everything that is good. Think of plants and bulbs and seeds that seem like they are stagnant over the winter, when really they are doing the important work of readying themselves for the oncoming Spring...and while it LOOKS like they just suddenly sprout from nothing...they are just suddenly SHOWING all of the work that has been going on for months and months. Let's redefine what it means to be productive, and what is a meaningful accomplishment in your life. In 2009 I was like that seed, I felt stagnant and felt like not much was happening because I wasnt well. I was pregnant for the first time and things were not going how i thought it should be and from all the stories I heard! I had one purpose in mind and that was to help me flourish through my pregnancy, morning sickness and all and refine what it should...
