The Creative Mind

If you are any kind of creator (and we all ARE, some just don't exercise it or even realize it yet) I'm sure you will relate to this. As a creator, I find that the distraction is always there. I find myself scrolling social media or watching television, or "wasting my time" with some other peoples "creative ventures"....mindlessly ignoring my inner yearnings to create....

A Reset

I definitely feel an improvement by just be cleaning up my diet a little bit, chilling (drastically) on the alcohol consumption, reinstituting my sauna and cold plunge sessions, my regular breathwork and yoga, but am definitely in need of my detox cleanse, which, of course, I am putting off until after the holidays. For me, it has become about living as healthy and mindfully as I can, while still participating in the festivities of life and offering myself rest and grace when needed. My balance....

I have been immersed in Soma Breath since running across an add on social media in 2020. I always joke that if people are still complaining that "social media" is too negative or bad, they are NOT curating their algorithm. Or in hindsight, manifesting it. I jumped into a free five-day challenge which is now a FREE foundation class. Halfway through the five days I signed up for the complete Master Instructor/Transformational Coaching Program because I immediately connected to how it made me feel....

Last night flying home from New York to California, I observed a beautifully, powerful display of nature at some point over Pennsylvania. There was a lighting storm covering a vast area below and to the north and continued nearly 30 mins in our westward travel. At one point, my phone location showed me in Columbia which of course I google mapped and found a Columbia in Pennsylvania, as well as Ohio, and a number of other places....but the only Columbia showing on our JetBlue display route....was in Brazil....

Your skin. Do you remember? I can't tell you how many times I ask this question in a given week. I remember learning this fact in junior high school science, as well as how much of our household dust is actually dead human skin cells. Gross? Maybe, but it is what it is and it is part of a natural process in repairing, healing and regenerating, not just our skin, but our entire body....

On this eve of my 58th birthday I sit in complete gratitude and awe of where I am at in my life and often I find it difficult to sit in this space with the known struggles of others on this planet. But acknowledging I have been in my own s**t and have overcome some significant hurdles, it is this practice of gratitude and contemplation that continues to move me forward, evolving, healing and transforming into everything I want to do and be....

This is a follow-up to last months blog post about mindfulness, meditation and breathwork AND and an amazing experience I had a couple of years ago with a Skin Care Master. I had the President/Co-founder of a popular, well-known European skincare company on my table for a facial, and mind you this person has given tens of thousands of facials, and probably received just as many....

Living with Intention. Living in the moment. Staying present. Mindfulness. I've heard these terms (gratefully) for a large part of my life, being exposed to "mindfulness" as a kid without having ANY inkling that I was being introduced to something that would become such a huge part of my life. The challenge is always staying with that intention. Or rather, staying present....

I attended church recently for the first time in a very long time. Maybe 2, might be 3 years. But I felt the need to go, so I did. My Pastor smiled and said Cindy!...right? I laughed and admitted yes, it's been some time. It was a comfort to be welcomed back and remembered. I've been a member of the church for over a decade, after finally finding this church after many years of searching for the right fit....

I wrote this after a somewhat heated discussion with a person very close to me, which if you know me, you know I hate confrontation. Probably why I love writing! And while I may be wrong, the inability for some to even consider another perspective is what I find most frustrating. More importantly, I find it sad, because when we close ourselves off to deeper contemplation and consideration of new ideas, we are stunted in our very nature of evolution....
