I never cease to be amazed at the kindness of the world when we open our hearts and minds to receive. Receiving is different than going out to look for something with expectations. Rather it is setting an intention that you are willing to be open to your surroundings and receive what the Universe has to offer. It is being willing to offer yourself in return.
Dang, it’s hard sometimes to practice what I preach (living compassionately, taking risks, and stepping wholeheartedly into who I am). But man oh man, it is so important, essential even. Truth is when the heat gets turned up and I really want to run, hide, or cave in (i.e. do the “easy” thing) that’s when it’s most important to show myself compassion by slowing down and paying close attention to what I need.
The holiday season can be a tricky one to navigate. Oh let's face it, LIFE can be tricky to navigate, especially if we think we're the ones in charge and perfection with a capital P is the ultimate mission. We make a list and check it twice, three times, to infinity... and then what? Things change or don't go as we planned! The only thing we can control is how we perceive the changes.
I love the creative process more than just about anything... actually, I love PROCESS. Period. It is not typically in the end result where I learn the most, but usually in the midst... in the process.
