BE: Awake

April 27, 2020

We cannot really be present, we cannot really be awake, unless we recognize that Life is a Whole, a circle, an infinite cycle. This means that we can’t ignore the things we don’t want to deal with, sweep things we’re afraid of under the rug, avoid the tough stuff, distract ourselves from the challenges. We can’t because they will inevitably cycle back around and surface back up.

BUT we also can’t beat ourselves up when we fail. After all, as my favorite aunt used to quip, “We haven’t ascended yet!”

So to BE awake is to be, in each moment, as awake as we can be. To keep waking up. To notice when we are drifting off more quickly. And when we have fallen asleep, to wake ourselves up with kindness and compassion and then keep waking up.

BE: Easy

Be Easy. Easy like Sunday morning. Another simple stealth way of living Love. A heart-centered practice that can shift things for you and others. Try being easy. Easy like Sunday morning. Even now. Especially now. #LoveViral

BE: True

April 5, 2020

When I was a little girl, the idea of Truth was so comforting to me. It was logical. If something was true, I could relax. No need to try to be right or argue for my point. Truth was truth. And that was that. What a relief to a kid trying to “become someone” in a world that didn’t seem to make a whole lot of sense.

Growing up watching news reports of the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights movement, reading about pollution and how people hurt animals and other people, sometimes I struggled to understand how to find peace with it all, let alone understand where I fit in.

But when I remembered that there was something Greater than everything that seemed to be going on on the television and in the newspapers, it was as if my whole being breathed a giant sigh of relief. When I remembered the Truth that Love was Everything, then everything felt okay again.
