Our brains are dramatic little storytellers.
They feel one strange sensation and—bam!—it’s off to the races.

“I’m tired” becomes “I’m depressed.”
A hot flash becomes “I’m falling apart.”
An ADHD brain that’s overstimulated becomes “I’m lazy.”

But what if we paused before filling in the blank?
What if we asked, “What else could be true?”

That pause might just be the doorway to compassion—and truth.

I went looking for “something new” and found it at Johnson Nature Preserve in Cincinnati—an area hit by the F4 tornado in 1999. What I saw: a split trunk arched to the ground sprouting a whole new tree; a 90-degree bend twenty feet up growing a different species; a “dead” log giving rise to two full-sized trunks—still one plant.

It felt like a mirror. Life bends us, splits us, reroutes us—and still we grow. That’s the will to life. If you need a practice: feel your feet, soften your jaw, hand to heart. Name one place where it’s hard and you’re still growing anyway. That’s your miracle.

Ever get so bored with the “responsible” stuff that you want to throw your planner out the window?
Same.

I realized this week that my future self depends on my current self doing the boring work — the system-building, the dotting of i’s — because that’s what steadies me for boldness later.

And when I let my body in on the process, this mantra came through:

“This slow simmer is deepening the bold flavor of what’s next.”

Whew. That hit deep.

What if your next level of passion is hiding in the slow simmer, too?

Morning Gratitude:

Post 3 things you’re grateful for before your day begins.

A minute per hour.
An hour per day.
A day per week.
A week per month.
A month per year.

I came across this rhythm for intentional living in a book on voluntary simplicity decades ago — and it’s stuck with me ever since.

What if you used it as a guide for joy, creativity, or rest?
To weave in what matters most — from micro habits to bold commitments — one layer at a time.

It’s a practice that’s both gentle and radical.
Just enough to make your heart race in the best way.

You know what I think might just save the world?

Deep listening.

The kind that starts with getting quiet enough to actually hear yourself. Then extends out—curiosity first, judgment last—to hear someone else.

We’ve all been shoved into our little “us vs them” piles long enough. I think it’s time we listen our way back to each other.

Deep listening for healing connection can bridge divides, spark empathy, and inspire genuine understanding in everyday life.
