Things I learned this week:
- You can make any time sacred by lighting a candle and sipping hot tea. (Try it out. Before calling someone - whether with family, friend, or mentor - light a candle, pour a beverage in your favorite mug or glass, then sit at the table and be present for the phone call. No multi-tasking allowed.)
- There are certain people in this world that we can connect with deeply even if we have never met in person.
Things I'm celebrating this week:
- Connection.
- Healing.
- Love.
- Noticing.
- Clearing.
Things that are resonating with me this week:
A new (and free) ebook from Pace Smith: The 11 Most Dangerous Myths about Finding Your Path
This article: 16 Habits of Highly Sensitive People. Because yes, yes, and well, yes to nearly all of them.
Decide to Rise
Push. Turn up the volume. Go hard. Go harder.
Reprioritize your aches and pains.
Infuse your sensitivities with courage.
Tell fear to f*** right the f*** off.
Devote yourself to done.
I jumped right up after reading it, photocopied it, cut it out, and put it on my bathroom mirror as a reminder. There are so many important words there: push, aches, pains, sensitivities, courage, fear, devote, done. They all hit me at different levels and for different reasons. It's hard to explain, but I know I need to sit with this passage for a while.
In case you missed it...
