BE: Joy

April 24, 2020

Every Friday when I was a kid, my mom packed my school lunch in a white lunch back with a smiley face that read HAVE A HAPPY DAY.

She found them when I was in eighth grade — and purchased a large enough supply to last for every single Friday through high school. She never ran out!

I find that the sweetest thing! And to this day, on Fridays, every single Friday, I think of my mom and those happy face lunch bags, and I smile and remember: Have a happy day!

So today is the last Friday of this month’s practice of BEing. And I wanted to celebrate my mom. This photograph of this gorgeous sunflower reminds me of that smiley face.

BE: Present

April 21, 2020

so today, with this period of reentry already beginning in certain states, I am doubling down on the heart-centered practice of presence.

I am going to be extra grateful for everything I am learning during this time.

I am going to be extra grateful and mindful of the sweet silence and the sounds of nature.

I am going to appreciate the blue blue sky before it gets covered in chemtrails again.

And mostly I am going to trust that I am not the only one who has learned something beautiful from this time. I am going to trust that we will all be a little more present as we move forward. That we will all have learned to listen to our hearts a little more. And that we will carry this presence forward into every interaction and become better human beings and less compulsive human doings.

Today I will be presence in Love, gratitude and joy.

BE: New

April 20, 2020

It’s time for us all to look at what we’re willing to leave behind and how we’re willing to move forward in NEW ways to heal ourselves and our planet.

So, today’s heart-centered practice is Be: NEW. Try it today. Try doing something old in a new way. Or something new. Or something differently. Try BEing New.

It’s super cool. I think you’ll love it. And it will love you. Because all heart-centered practice is LIVING LOVE!
