Short Form

Take time to relish the richness of everyday moments and ordinary days. The absence of noteworthy events creates a soothing space to decompress and Just Be —ahhh!

When we are in between what has happened and what has yet to transpire, our spirits can rest and renew before rising again.

After all, progress is not only about motion. It’s also about processing the wisdom attained along the way. It’s about making peace with our past, delighting in our present, and preparing for our future.

The most important relationship we can nurture is the one with ourselves.   

After years of multitasking like a champ, it feels soulfully nourishing to lighten up with this grueling habit. I’m choosing to focus on one thing at a time. Well, I’m trying— it’s hard to break the twitch 😉

But I’m discovering how grounding it is to pay attention only to what’s around me … to immerse myself in the task at hand. Letting my mind wander can unexpectedly reveal some intriguing takes on emotions that have been swirling inside without resolution. That’s the genius of repetitive household tasks: cleaner house, clearer perspective!✨ 

Truthfully, the more I practice living in the now, the more I feel the sublime fullness of my ordinary days. The steady signaling from my five senses are actually registering more frequently instead of slipping by unnoticed when hustling. It’s meditative to absorb the details of my present moments: the low whirling of ceiling fan blades; the smooth folds of a silken skirt; dogs lightly dozing nearby; the wafting scent from my jasmine vine.

The months and years continue to fly, but I am committed to honoring more present moments daily. It’s truly a powerful practice of gratitude.

And maintaining a mindful cadence with my days also brings peace with what tomorrow will be.

A tenacious whirlwind or a tranquil breeze: I think there’s a time and a place for both, don’t you?
