Ripple Love

May 18, 2020

When you love something or someone or some place or some idea or. . .anything. . .love it with your whole heart. Live that Love, lean into that Love, share that Love.

My brother once said of my dad, “He loved life so life loved him back.”

It sounds simplistic, but it’s true. How many of us really love our lives?

When I was a little girl, I could feel how much my dad loved life. And it was infectious. I thought being a grownup was going to be amazing if we all got to love life this much and live around others who love life this much, too.

But how many of us can really say that we love life with our whole hearts?

Maybe it’s time for us to start. . .

Groundhog Tapestry

May 14, 2020

As I pulled up the blinds, I thought to myself: It’s Groundhog Day. Here we go again.

And then the most amazing thing happened: I saw myself as a small thread in this tapestry of our planet — and my own little personal experience as one tiny fleck of color and texture. And I realized that every single person will wake up and face today with some feeling and have their own experience of it. And either I could continue to see myself as the star of my own movie — or I could embrace my place in the whole as the whole reason I am — any of us — are here.

And when I did that, everything eased.
