I love the first of the month, it’s special to me. The close of a chapter, the start of the next, an ending, and a beginning. Each and every time, I’m thankful for the day, the start. However, I realize it’s not the 1st that’s special, or even the month. It is my mindset, my outlook, and perspective. It is my shift and choice to have these feels fresh and free. And so, I challenge you, I challenge me. What if each day, each time we rise, was the time to come alive? To notice and feel, to be –

fresh and free

focus and flowing

forward and forgiving

feeling and framing

following and fostering

finding and feeding

.

.

Decide daily what you are feeding, fostering, framing, and forgiving, how you are flowing, and what you are freeing.

in the in-between

sometimes, you are in between, learning with your mind and leading with your heart. Be sure to slow down as you start. In the in-between is a special place to be, solidifying and growing simultaneously. Uncomfortable, too, uneasy and unsure. Be present and steady — allow things to unfold. One step at a time, be patient with yourself. In the in-between is a special place to be, connecting with the past, totally present, leaning toward the future, looking ahead with hope. In the in-between, you are able to see the connections and beauty, the glue, and the need for exactly where you are and are meant to be. be here, stay here, calm your mind. release the pressure and urge to find what comes next where your story goes, for it is in the in-between that it is being told. tap into now, remember you’re here and in between your dreams and your fears is this present moment, a gift just for you, in the in between you have nothing to lose.

safe, smooth, secure & steady.

Happy New Year! It is now one week into the new year. Happy 2024, and most importantly, happy Sunday. May this year be safe. May it be smooth. May it be secure. May it be steady. This year, I am affirming, manifesting, and choosing steadiness, smoothness, safety, and ease. I am so thankful for my journey, but the last 3 years have been full of transitions. Transitions that took my breath away, both in positive and negative ways. Transitions that broke me down and built me up. Transitions that I knew were coming and abrupt. After all these transitions, I am fully aware that the present is the gift, this moment, my breath currently, right now as a writer. I am thankful for this moment. I choose to steady my breath. I choose to feel at ease and smooth feelings. I choose safety and security. How? How am I choosing this, you might ask? Here are a few of my choices, actions, and habits that will help me to affirm, manifest, and live safely, smoothly, securely, and steadily.

  1. I am releasing myself from things that require too much effort and not enough ease. I am willing to work for it if it is working.
  2. I will honor my boundaries, name them, share them, and keep them close.
  3. I am being honest with my capacity, mentally, physically, and emotionally. I am specific with my capacity and say no to over-committing in any area of my life.

I invite you to share what 2024 looks like for you. What are you affirming, manifesting, and choosing? What would you like to see in 2024? More personally, how might I be in your corner and support you? I am interested in learning more. Thanks for reading and sharing ❤

With love + gratitude,

October, be optimum.

Owning all opportunities and outputs may October be optimum. I am choosing to own the opportunities I engage with and participate in. I am thankful for the choice and thankful to be able to say yes and no. Thankful. Looking closely at what I expend or put out, and being mindful of my words and actions. Deciding where I put my energy and effort, being purposeful.

Fall asks us to slow down, release, and let go. I am intentionally choosing what aligns with me in this season. I am carving out what is important to me and giving it the time, attention, and energy it deserves. I am also releasing and letting go and becoming comfortable with change.

I am not the same, I am continuing to change.

Shift and Shed. Adapt and Adjust. Evolve and Embrace.

As the season changes and one chapter closes, just to start the next, I am taking time to pause. At this moment, I am taking note of shifts that are happening. I focus my energy and attention on new priorities and shift as I do so. I am shifting past patterns. Concurrently, I am allowing myself to shed, like in nature. I am shedding past habits that no longer serve me. I am shedding doubt and limitations that I or others have placed on me. Shifting and shedding. This is prompting me to adapt and adjust. Adapting to my new energy and attention, adapting to my patterns. I am adapting my plan; it has new sights, goals, supports, and conditions. As I adapt, I am allowing myself the freedom to adjust my focus. Adjusting what I focus on, adjusting what I do not focus on, adjusting and adapting. All in service of evolving and embracing. I plan to evolve day by day. I am evolving with time and grace. I can see my evolution and am continuing to evolve. So, as I evolve, I am embracing growth and change. May it be radical, beautiful, uplifting, visionary, and all it needs to be.
