When I say that life has been life-ing at warp speed, I am not joking...

All great things, but...IYKYK...

I could not decide what to share this week...so I am sharing some thoughts from one of my favorite mentors, Cathy Heller. Check out her podcast - The Cathy Heller Podcast, or her book, This Abundant Life.

Ready?


It's up to use to make our lives a sanctuary,
to choose mornings that feel like prayer instead of pressure,
to sip our tea slowly, as if it were holy,
to let the light in before the noise,
to drink in the sunset like it's the last color we'll ever see,
to soften into our own presence and make this moment, this exact moment, enough.
No one else will give us permission to live this way.
We have to choose it again and again...until it becomes who we are because peace doesn't wait for some day...
It's already here, quietly asking.
Will you slow down enough to receive it?


Wonder...
Open your eyes like it's the first time.
Look at the sky.
Feel the air on your skin.
Take a deep breath and be aware of the miracle of this life force flowing through you.
Wonder is a frequency. Tune into it.
Let awe find you in the ordinary.
"I am awake to the beauty in everything"
Let yourself be moved.
Let life surprise you with tremendous wonder.



Enoughness.
Close your eyes. Take a deep breath in.
What if this was enough - this breath, this heartbeat, the morning light...
There is nothing you need to become today.
You are already what the world needs.
Tune into enoughness. Let it settle in your being.
"I am enough simply by being."
Move through your day like someone who knows they belong just by being.



Close your eyes.
Place a hand on your heart.
Beneath every wave is the quite ocean.
There's a sacred hush inside of you - a place the world can't shake.
The place where your truth lives.
You don't have to go searching in the noise...
it's always been here...
underneath it all.
In stillness you return to the truth.
Create pockets of quiet.
Listen between the words.

 Renewal

Close your eyes.
Take a deep, nourishing breath.
Let it feel like a sacred reset - because that's exactly what it is.
You are allowed to begin again.
Right now.
In this breath.
Let today be the soft restart your soul's been craving.
Let it feel like grace is washing over you - gently reminding you: you're not behind. You're becoming.
Be renewed today, and with every breath, allow life to begin again.
Release yesterday.
Be open to what today could be.


Soften...
not because you are weak,
but because you are finally strong enough to trust.
There comes a moment when holding on feels heavier than letting go.
When grasping becomes exhausting...and surrender becomes freedom.
Step into the space where you stop swimming upstream and let the current carry you instead.
Surrender the struggle and trust the flow.
Move through your day without grasping.
Let life show you what's already on the way.
You don't have to chase it...
The path already knows where it's leading...


I'd love to hear your thoughts! Which one resonated most with you??

Let me introduce myself!

 
Hey, hey, my friend!

I'm the sometimes overwhelmed wife of Dana, homeschooling momma of 11 and Mayme to 15, "expertly" spinning all the plates...until another plate, or two (or ten) get tossed into the chaos...or a plate that was plastic this morning suddenly turns into fine China...can you relate?

A recovering perfectionist giving myself grace to do B- work, make mistakes and maybe even look a bit foolish on rare occasions...

An introverted extrovert who firmly believes dark chocolate makes the world go 'round...(the darker the better because fewer kiddos want to share it with me...).

Everyone has a story leading to where they are today.  Mine started when I was a teen, struggling with migraines. I just dealt with them, not even questioning why. I just knew that a chocolate éclair from Dunkin Donuts wasn’t the right answer, nor was that Pepsi I loved so much…
 
For years I pushed myself through the days, gritting my teeth to bear the pain a little better, taking care of my littles, then crashing into a dark, quiet room to sleep the pain away.
 
I tried a few different things, but I didn’t start seeing improvement until I took a good look at what I was eating. I started slowly taking those toxins and additives out of my diet…MSG, artificial flavors, natural flavors, white sugar, enriched flour, fake sweeteners, artificial colors and those other "ingredients" I couldn’t pronounce.
 
Then I started looking at ingredients in our personal care and household products...that was an eye-opening adventure. If you think everything allowed to be sold in the stores is safe, we need to chat...
 
As I learned better, I did better and I completely swapped out all the toxic products in our home, keeping my family above the wellness line, helped balance our hormones, along with our emotions, even through birth trauma, loss, anxiety, a world-wide pandemic and more.

Continuing my journey, I am now a Licensed Holistic Practitioner, Licensed Spiritual Healer, Certified Raindrop Technique Specialist, and will be a Certified CARE Instructor this summer.

Knowing that friends are family we get to choose for ourselves, I am creating a thriving community of powerful, incredible, plate-spinning women. There is a seat for you at our table, where hearts are touched, souls are healed, walls are torn down, and best lives are lived on our way to wellness, purpose and abundance...guilt free. Come. Join us. Pull up a chair. Get comfy. Let's journey together.

What's the best that could happen?
