Ask THIS! (Two Q’s)

Sometimes we may feel like the guru, or wise one inside, is sleeping. Maybe we *are* a sleeping guru right now, but we ARE the gurus or mothers of our own reinvention, nonetheless. 

To wake up even more, ask: how can I bring a new element of the woman I am today to this experience? 

Once you become aware, you become accountable. 

Tap into your innate wisdom.

Take the long rest you need, but then tune in…

Follow your fullest soul expression, even when it’s inconvenient. 

Even when you’re tired.

Even when your young son is asking you not to leave on your business trip. 

Even, and especially, when it would be easier to {blank}…

Life only changes to the degree we do. 

Exhaust yourself in your growth.

Move from a sleeping guru to the awakened one…

Every day, you can be awakened, all over again. The next, most important question then is, will you wake up to answer?

How I Moved Grief (Surprise, Surprise)

Let me tell you how I have moved through grief:

I haven’t. ;))

I have carried it *alongside* the rest of what life offers (and I offer to it).

Because healing doesn’t mean that it (grief/missing them) goes away, it can simply mean that you keep living a wild and beautiful life *with* the grief and all her valuable lessons in a front pocket.

The only choice we need to make need not be to get over it or force ourselves to “feel better”, but to simply continue to live all other parts of life AS WELL. Live and love your joy AS WELL.

And, really, why would I want “grief” to go away when I can carry her valuable lessons to help me relate and communicate better? To feel for others deeply and to be intimately connected to the knowledge that today is truly all we have?

To me, keeping grief around, is asking these questions on the daily and it’s worked. Most of all, it’s worked to deepen relationships and to continually say yes to all forms of adventure.

Grief has made me a better life liver / giver.

And this is the duality of holding space for both, for the pain — *and* for the joy.

Honoring this and my sweet brother, Dino, today and always.

Time For A Promotion

I’m not sure which entrepreneur, business owner or self-starter needs to hear this, but I know I’ve needed to hear it multiple times:

It’s time to shift up…time to give yourself a promotion.

Just because you have a particular type of business or have been living and breathing in a particular industry for a long time does not at all mean you have to stay there.

Sometimes something that has been working really well can work better (FOR YOUR LIFE) if you actually leave it [just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean it’s good for you…anymore].

Whatever the other business idea or evolution in focus you’ve been thinking about for a long time is, as the world re-opens, why not re-open to the full capacity of yourself, too?

And while we’re all at it, let’s give thoughts, friendships, daily routines and maybe the rushed way we have conversations or never get back to text messages a promotion, too!

Your creative power (aka your life experience) knows no bounds, so create what’s actually boundless and new!!!

Romantic Love (Use It For This)

The longevity of your love does not come from date nights, because it does not come from only prioritizing each other [for a night each week], it comes from what you do with that love outside yourselves…

It has worked for us over the last decade, bearing delicious fruit in our marriage. 🙏🏽🌳

Though important in a romantic relationship, intimacy is not solely physical or about the candlelight shone between you, it’s about how you come together *in passion* to see the world differently and be part of that difference. THIS, too, is intimate (so very intimate). 

USE THE LOVE BETWEEN YOU FOR GREAT GOOD. Don’t even let a little go to waste!
