Grace and Kindness The best reason to respond with grace and kindness to every person and circumstance that we encounter is because we can. I wonder what my life will look like when I remember that more often than I currently do. Just the thought of it is tremendously exciting and satisfying and feels so […]

Always Remember

What would life be like if we always remembered that there is never a good excuse to have a bad day, that there is never anything worth closing our hearts over, and that despite anything that happens, we can stay connected to the flow of well-being anyway.

Willing and Aware Much of personal growth boils down to willingness and awareness. If we aren’t willing to face our fears, get out of our comfort zone, or challenge what we think is the truth ~ then our results will stay the same. If we aren’t willing to put in the time and the effort […]
