We all need support.
We all need to belong.
We all need to find a way to feel engaged with our world.
Jessie Buckley shares her story with all three of these very basic human needs 🩷

She has such a beautiful vulnerable heart.

I know it's hard to do in the moment, but when you slow down your emotional reactions you can see it more clearly.

What if that insensitive comment or action was really about what the other person is going through, and has more to do with their insecurities?

Giving them the space to deal with that, allowing that to inform you of who they are, and setting boundaries (like time, distance, what information you share..) that give you the self-respect you deserve is the positive path for protecting your peace ✌️

Too often we focus on our weaknesses, our faults (or what we see as faults or weaknesses) when, actually, leaning into our strengths, our perseverance, our tenacity is what lifts us up.

We are walking contradictions because that is what it means to survive in our culture.

We have to remind ourselves, being whole means being exactly who you are, as often as you can.
Living as honest as you are able, and seeking relationships where your true self is recognized, valued, supported, and welcomed.

We have power over where our attention goes, and that is a lot.

There are moments where we may feel like we are small and insignificant, but I can promise you... follow the love, in all its messiness, self-sacrifice, and insecurities.

Focusing on love is like focusing on freedom.
You can be free moment to moment when you turn towards the love that is present in your life.

Highly sensitive folks and empathic people connect with energy quickly and deeply.
Detachment, or offering space for self and others, protects relationships and offers room for personal growth, respect and the freedom to be authentic.

FLOW - the word I selected for self-improvement this year. What word represents the direction you want to grow?
We grow and change with life's experiences, so why not focus on an area that would create greater ease and joy in your life! At year's end be sure to take time to reflect on your growth.
Happy New Year 🌟

Some reminders to yourself, each and every day...

✨Remember this:
you are worthy,
you deserve real love,
nurturing relationships,
and days that begin with lightness.

💗When you treat yourself with kindness, the world learns to do the same.

This season I will watch my thoughts from a distance.
Observe them like the clouds in the sky.

Shifting them to gratitude.
Softening the critical or negative thoughts.
Labeling them as such.

Promising myself to shift to -
The good.
The kind.
The possible.
The beautiful.

Because it is always there.
It may be harder to see -
Beauty is soft.
Kindness is gentle.
Goodness is patient.
And, it is possible.

We're all reeling after news of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele's brutal murder, reportedly by their son. There's much going on in our world, but this event keeps coming up in my heart... the grief and agony now forever within this family system. The suffering and torment of addiction (I understand their son Nick was in rehab 17 different times from the age of 15), the struggle to meet mental health needs even when money is not an issue, and the exhaustion and frustration of a family who did their absolute best to care for, meet the needs of, and love their child.

There were many many years of struggle, pain, and now tremendous grief. I feel much for this family, and know there are many families that wrestle with addiction and mental health issues, not necessarily resulting in violence, but the strain on a family is very real and very challenging.

Hold each other close, don't judge circumstances you don't understand, and remember compassion is love in action 💙 I'm sending much compassion to the Reiner family.

Reading Charlie's book tonight to remind myself.
