There’s no right or wrong, but there IS your perspective.
Reality is reality.
How are you reacting?
How strong is your reaction?
Inquire.
Sit.
Be.
Know that you are OK.
Know that IT is OK.
Peace.
Love.
And all is well.
Namaste.

Watch It Come And Go
No matter the situation, no matter the emotion, no matter the thought – just remember watch it come and go.
Accept the resistance.
Accept the discomfort.
Accept the need to escape.
Accept the subtle need to want things to change.
Watch it come and go.
Love where you are.
Love yourself.
Love every emotion and thought that comes by.
Love the tiny awakening inside you.
Love the fact that you are OK right here, right now.
Watch it come and go.
This is the practice…
Lightness
I can’t get enough of this word.
Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness.
There is something about the meaning behind this word that provides such strength, peace, and clarity.
Is there a word that does the same for you?
For me, this word is a simple reminder to not give a d*&# (excuse the language) or so much of it away to things that simply do not matter! It reminds me to put a smile on my face. It reminds me that ALL is ok and WILL ALWAYS be ok. It reminds me that life is meant to be lived with the highest sense of connection and freedom. It reminds me of what is most important in this moment.
So here it is again:
Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness.
Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness.
Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness.
Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness.
Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness.
Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness.
Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness.
Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness.
Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness. Lightness.
May lightness find you wherever you go on this beautiful new day.
Namaste.
What Are You Creating?
As humans we are constantly creating. Whether it’s our job, our relationships, our feelings, our next “fill in the blank”, our social media, our goals, you see… there is always something in motion.
The most critical part of creation is this ➡
Are you creating from a place of lack or a place of abundance? Fear or Love? Resistance or Flow? What is the main foundational emotion running YOUR engine?
When you really think about it, what emotion would you rather have running through you while you are off creating in this world?
Namaste.
Meaning vs. Flow
“Oftentimes we try to make sense of something or give too much meaning to what we are solutioning. The problem lies not in our intention but the day to day THINKING or ACTION.
With intention comes vision, and from there we should go with the flow of life. The answer lies here.
God, the pulse of life, all but want that alignment of our mind, body, and soul. And how can that happen other than to vibrate at the highest level and by living in the present moment?
So stop trying to make sense. Stop trying to give so much meaning to what you are doing. By doing this you are actual demeaning the very intention of your acts.”
-from a recent freehand journal entry

Spring Cleaning
As mentioned a few posts ago I’ve re-located back to Seattle! For a while I considered this a temporary “stay”, but given the future is in God’s hands I couldn’t live my life in limbo so I decided to permanently re-locate and see what unfolds. ?
In the past, limbo was normal. In fact, limbo would have been the DREAM. I loved being on the go and traveling was a desired experience. Except this time around I needed rooting, and what better place than home?
When I first left Seattle to live in San Francisco all I brought with me was my car packed with a suitcase full of clothes, kitchen appliances like my crockpot and rice cooker (a girl’s gotta eat!), and even TP.. yes, toilet paper!
This meant that I kept my room exactly, and I mean exactly the way it was.
A lot has changed in the last few years and I’ve quite preferred the “spark joy” way of living.
What is spark joy?
Friday Focus – 5/12/17
This week I’ve been meditating on what it means to be in suffering.
How it is so easy for every thought, action (even non-action), and word to lead to suffering without awareness.
You see, when we are not mindful of the space behind our thoughts or actions, essentially we are making a choice in every moment that comes with judgement.
As an example, for the most part without even recognizing it, we are driven by a general need to make the right choice… this can look like:
“I can’t believe I said that?! What can I say next so I don’t sound so stupid?”
“Wow, I ate salad every day for lunch this week! I better keep this up!”
“I want to move to Seattle but I just met my significant other. How do I know which is right?”
Sometimes it doesn’t even feel like suffering! And sometimes it feels like small suffering while other times it feels like BIG suffering. The reality of it is that all problems lead to the same path – suffering.
(Relevant tangent: Even the idea of choices can lead to suffering when the need to make the right choice is very strong. Here, you can use ‘problems’ and ‘choices’ interchangeably.)
Ok, ok, this may sound doomsday but there is light in all of this. Promise!
Prayer
Prayer is the re-weaving; Prayer is the medium of miracles in that it is the way to get back to my true self in the moment when I am lost in the illusion of separation.
