Mindfulness Monday this week ask you, what is something that your soul needs? What steps are you willing to take to get there?

Check out my earlier post about a new book coming out, A Certain Mercy. My soul needed my meeting with this author, and I cannot wait to read her book !

Hello everyone, are you looking for your next book to read?
On a recent trip to Arkansas, I met this author in the airport and felt God certainly had a hand in our meeting. Our conversation that day and exchanges ever since have been uplifting and empowering. They certainly reminded me that the path I am on is absolutely in alignment with who I am and who I want to be and are leading me to the harmony I seek. Perfection will not fail me because I am seeking something greater.

My profound interactions with Linda led me to join her launch team for her next book. Please join me and check out the link below to pre-order your copy of A Certain Mercy: https://mybook.to/ACertainMercy

Live posted this evening is my reflection on the question: On a day like today, did you relax or did you constantly feel like you should be working?

So how did you spend this wintery weather Sunday?

Thank you to Anthony at Do Better for posting the question!

So true!

The holidays bring out everything - the drama, the opinions, the expectations, the noise.

And here’s your reminder: you don’t have to match any of it.

You can pause.
You can protect your peace.
And if something (or someone) isn’t worth your energy? Let Them.

If you know someone who needs this mindset more than ever right now, give them the gift of The Let Them Theory 💚

This time of year can pull us toward perfection, but we know that real connection starts with caring for ourselves first!

Which choice are you making this season to let go of perfection and invite more peace?

A) Slowing down instead of pushing through
B ) Saying no to what drains you
C) Creating a small, meaningful ritual that nourishes you
D) Letting go of an expectation that was never yours to carry
E) Choosing one thing that brings genuine joy (even if it’s imperfect)

This is so very important, especially as we all enter a week, full of travel and family. We may not always get along with everyone at these gatherings, but we can control how we approach the situation in action, but even before that, with our own internal alignment and safety. Let your wellness guide others through neuroception and coregulation 💞

In the 1960's, writer Anaïs Nin often reflected on the subjective nature of perception and the impact of personal experience on how we interpret the world.
