Pushing Through Is Not The Answer
Pushing through because it’s the thing to do, or it’s expected of you, … doesn’t always work.
For the better part of 2+ weeks, my newborn grandson has struggled and I’ve allowed myself the flexibility to be there for him and his parents.
My target date to “get back at it” came and went … it just was not happening.
I have things simmering, but that’s all they are doing in the background.
Simmering.
Waiting until the time is perfect so the energy of the delivery is perfect and excellent so you can feel the authentic heart from which it is delivered.
And, as I write this, I realize that THIS is what is to drop in right now. Just this. A note to let you know I’ve been distracted with family.
In the end, completing that task, sending that email, will not matter.
Being there for family will have mattered.

Divine Alignment Brings Out the Haters
Yesterday was one of the most magical days I have had since my daughter’s wedding last year. I began with intentionally listening to what was around me in the morning as I recited “Thank you for _____.” My day began with a deep sense of Peace.

Honoring the Process of Dying
When my daughter was 10, she had a gerbil. It’s been so long I cannot remember his name.
She and her father went on vacation; it was then, of course, that I noticed he was not well. He struggled to walk – he wasn’t chewing up the toilet paper roll. I knew he was dying, but why now? When my child was not there? What was I going to do?!
I’d take him out and hold him in my hand while I sat with him. I’d sit such that he was positioned at my heart. I willed him to die – to end his suffering.
What I noticed was that every time I did that, he’d get more energy, and I thought a miracle had occurred.
No. He was just taking in the love from my heart center and using it as fuel for just a bit.
This went on for a few days. I didn’t want him to die while my 10 year old was gone! What kind of closure (or not) would that bring her?!
One night, after my ritual of holding him at my heart and telling him it was ok to...
