In this present moment, I find myself struggling for words when it comes to the avoidable tragedies happening in the Middle East, especially in Gaza. I am deeply moved by the words of Jimmy Carter: "we will not live together in peace by killing each other’s children." These words reverberate through my being, reminding me of the heavy burden we carry, the tears we shed, and the earth we touch.

Imagine feeling deeply connected, not just to the world around you, but to something vast, something cosmic. That's the beauty of embracing our Earth. We become part of a magnificent tapestry, one that extends far beyond our individual lives.

Have you ever realized that the Earth is always here, ready to guide us? It's a connection that's ever-present. Just think about it – we're never truly separate from her. Gravity keeps us firmly grounded, reminding us of this unbreakable bond.

Most of our life is simply ordinary. The things we do when we get up in the morning, eating food, working, spending time doing the same things. Right? Life is made up of so many little things. And we’ve been wired (programmed and socialized) to want big things. And somehow even when we have the big things, we regularly don’t celebrate them or get caught up in the not enough-ness.

My life is full of poopy diapers, snotty noses, full blown tantrums, school projects, dog walks, to do lists, moving, you name it. And when I remember the sacred in the ordinary, when I remember that the moment that I attune and be with my children, when I remember that I am living a life full of prayers answered, that’s my ticket.

We exist in a culture where getting s*** done is a primary value. And overwhelm is a common result. Trying to keep up, comparing yourself to others, so much to do, so little time, and hustle.

We are life’s reflections!

honestly, where do I even begin? The last few years - a knock you out kind of doozy. You know? Bottom line. Humbled.

I went dark, I went deep, I got super real with myself and the people in my life. Then squeezed myself through a very uncomfortable birth canal, so I could come back to LIFE! Worth it. So so worth it. My life has transformed.

I want to share about softening. This very sweet way of relaxing into what is. For me, it feels like an exhale. Like I am taking moments to release the fight or resistance or denial or anger, and just be with what is.

I am in the midst of a beautiful opening in my psyche on the concept of WANT. And my inkling is that it probably resonates with other folks (especially since we live in a society that demonizes pleasure).

This week I was invited to teach about the Sacred Feminine in 5 minutes. Right now, she is teaching me about her ability to embrace all of it: all the pain, all the grief, all the beauty, all the experience and simply be with it.

As the blossoms turn to leaves, the flowers emerge from the Earth, and us humans get our first "spring" in over a year, I have big questions about this new life we are living into.
