Shaking up our routines feels incomprehensible and yet, a good shakeup helps us examine what is working and what isn’t.

I let go of outcomes. An affirmation sign I have displayed on an index card all over my living space because I tend to be goal oriented.

I reparent myself by choosing gentleness no matter the consequence at hand. It’s not easy because my brain's trained to judge, blame, punish

Do I stay informed and take action or do I focus on my inner life? Is there a way to do both?

Using introspection, we can maintain an interior monologue of an "I" talking with "me". We can say "I drive myself crazy." But who's me & I?

I ask myself this morning, what am I doing with my awake time? Life during the pandemic is different. I searched for what is missing.

I want my mind to stop for a while and take a rest. Some days I can ignore and other days I am front row center listening to every thought.

I was stuck in a habit of negative thinking -- the worst thing would happen in any situation. Then I learned words have energy

My compartmentalized spaces became brave spaces where I put on a brave face; I entered a painful situation with brave coursing through veins

Maybe my Soul wanted to learn to overcome struggle to find inner harmony. Maybe my Soul chose strife in order to find ease.

I couldn’t believe this injustice on top of all I had gone through and was facing. But did I want to be right or do I want to be happy?

I know what sand feels like when I’m standing on the beach. I want to live in the beach scene. I don’t want to live in the circus.

My Higher Self represents my connection with my heart. My Lower Self represents my fear as I compare myself to others. Both are necessary

A moment in the mirror I visit myself. I choose to peek because I seek to connect within. Life becomes what I focus on.

I choose to be in the now, alert in this changing world around me. I am safe. Every cell in my body vibrates with energy and health.

In the past, so much of my inside voice was negative, warning and scared. I never had anything positive to say.

If I were to scooch right up to the TV and smoosh my eye against the TV screen, I can’t see anything and feel lost to what’s happening.

We're learning we are all connected. What more proof do we need than to examine our heartache for what is happening around us. It all hurts.

I’ve survived another wormhole in my life. Every July I relive the downward trend of my daughter’s life culminating in her loss in September

I learned a rule to live by: if I am not centered, my job is to get centered. If I am, my job is to help others or be creative.
