How to get anything you want...
Less than two weeks ago, I RAN the 10 mile Broad Street Run. Me, 10 miles. After only being able to walk/run a max of 3.5 miles before that race (this year anyway), after barely training, and after injuring my ankle only a few days before- I ran the whole thing. Astonishing.
Loving Kindness Meditation
Use this Loving Kindness meditation to expand the love you feel for yourself and others:
Find a comfortable seated position. Close your eyes. Feel the tension draining away from you, starting with around your eyes and face, through your neck, shoulders and down your arms. Feel the tension drain like a liquid down your body and out through your legs. Feel your body fill up with love. Imagine a loving green light entering your feet and legs, up through your body, up your stomach, chest and arms. Feel it almost bursting through your heart, your fingers and through the crown of your head. Feel your body being filled with green, loving light. Feel it buzzing through your body and radiating from your skin. When you feel enveloped in that love repeat these words:
Self Care=Soul Care
|
Self Care is so important for your health, and subsequently for the health of your family as well. You've definitely heard the analogy about putting on your oxygen mask first, right? How can you take care of anyone else when you don't even have the energy or resources to take care of yourself? You can't. Self Care can recharge your batteries, lift your spirit, and keep you moving when you feel like you can't take another step...if you make it and YOU a priority. But how do we add another thing into our day when they are already packed full? Make it non-negotiable. Make it easy. Make it meaningful. And make it fun. |
Cleansing and Renewal in the New Year
For the wonderful adventurous souls that joined us, this is day 4 of the 28 Day Delicious Detox, and Im starting to feel much more Sparkly after the last few days. Im finally out of the tough crappy feeling phase that happens for my first few days when I cleanse. Its wonderful though, since I know that is my body's way of releasing all the toxins I let build up since the holidays (yes, starting at Halloween for me and my sweet tooth!). I cant wait til Saturday to find out how my other cleansers are doing and their biggest ahas during this process!

Triple F
fun flirty fabulous-that’s you baby
but triple F might be stuck in the muck that's called life. Down in the douldrums under all the laundry to be done and the bathrooms to be cleaned
leave it all behind, baby, and take some time for you. Climb to the top of the laundry pile and jump off, free as a bird, and close to the floor, so no pain on landing
that is, if you want to land
or should we soar like the birds, transmute into our dragonfly souls, wandering, enticing, mesmerizing…
it is you-
