The Rhythm in Your Life

The Rhythm in Your Life

🌊 I just thought about the waves and how they come in and out - push forward and draw back. ⁠⁠There is this beautiful rhythm that sustains.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Of pushing forward, leaning in, stepping out, being seen, output…⁠⁠ And drawing back, retreating, pulling back to the source, going deep, input…⁠⁠

Each Season Produces What is Needed for the Next

Last year, I was really struggling in a season of continually pain, loss and grief. I turned to the seasons of nature to see if I could learn anything to help me thrive in the season I was in. Oh yes! ⁠

This Season has Purpose

This Season has Purpose

A few lessons from the season of ❄️ winter...
1. GROWING CAN FEEL LIKE DYING - A seed has to die & be buried in the ground before it can begin again in spring. But things aren’t actually dead - beneath the surface, the roots are very much alive.

I am Perfectly Imperfect

I am Perfectly Imperfect

Whenever I see myself in a photo, my instant reaction is usually what’s wrong with it 🤦‍♀️🙅‍♀️. It’s like we’ve been programmed by our culture to expect one skewed version of perfection, nothing less.

Attitudes are Contagious

Attitudes are Contagious

We rub off on people whether we mean to or not. What we do makes an impact. How we act makes an impact. Our attitudes make an impact. Good or bad. And we get to choose what kind of impact we leave.
