Hello, folks. Welcoming you into a new week. Good luck with the journey. Whatever the weather, whatever you're navigating, may you connect, and choose to connect, to the choices and decisions that move you closer to nurturing inner peace, nurturing compassion, nurturing love. Cheering. You. On.
On my evening walk, as the setting sun colored the sky in hues of orange, pinks and dusk, I saw a party of three waiting a few feet outside the local mall.

No matter what you find yourself navigating, even with things in the way, somehow, some way, may you always notice the light.
Cheering. You. On.
Hello :) Welcoming you into a new week. Wishing you good luck on the inner and outer plains. And, however the journey unfolds, hoping you’ll create some head and heart space to breathe. Cheering. You. On.
I had a moment recently where I got upset at myself for the way I responded to someone’s actions. I had responded in a way that was timid and not valuing of myself and I knew as soon as I did it that it had been the wrong approach from me. You know how your body sometimes tells you, “Umm, dude, that approach was off?” Well, I heard it. And I agreed.
Now, the person’s actions weren’t malicious, weren’t done on purpose, but I was annoyed by them. And the annoyance lingered because I was then mad at the way I chose to address it.
As I write this, I have now replayed the events and made mental contact with what (if I could go back in time) would have been a healthier and kinder approach from me for me that would still have honored all parties involved. So even though I hadn’t paused and chosen this version at the time of the unfolding, touching base with it later for myself was/is actually very helpful for seeding more of how I want to be in the world—more of how I want to be in my own skin in the world.
As for the initial reason for my annoyance, I also honored that, too. I honored that while I was annoyed, I knew the intent was not malicious. It was important for me to accept how I was feeling (i.e., not ignore it or stay stuck stewing upon it in perpetuity).
And it was just as important to affirm finding the best, most healthy and healing path for me to work through it all, because, ultimately, even if the road from here to there is full of obstacles, I want to be consciously contributing to my inner peace as much as is possible. Cheering. You. On.
Hello folks :) A new week is upon us (as I write this, for some of us, its already begun, and for others, it’s in the wings, waiting for its cue). Wherever you find yourself in this moment (literally, the moment that you are reading these words), I’d like to ask you to take a conscious, luxurious breath and then mentally send love to someone, somewhere or something. Deliberately pause and put some love out into the world. Hope you will :) Good luck with your everything this week. All the good and all the growth to you in everything <3 Cheering. You. On
Too often, we think we didn’t do anything with our day because it wasn’t comprised of grand gestures or of expressions/ experiences of overworking ourselves.
Hello :) I took this pic earlier in the week. It feels a bit like the sun (with an assist from the cloud) is giving a high-five or that this bit o’cloud is waving hello and the sun is hanging back and just radiating love :) May the rest of your day and your week be visited by blessings and upliftment and grace. And may you be able to see and feel their presence even if you’re navigating not so smooth terrain. Sending love. Cheering. You. On💚
