Empowerment | Self-Acceptance | Parenting | Growth
What if you’re actually on time? What if we’re not meant to compare ourselves to others? What if we’re meant to do life at our own pace?
On today’s podcast, I take my own journey through these questions and share about a new offer I’m currently working on. My hope is that as I share my journey you’ll see yourself and areas where you can give yourself my grace. So check it out.
Blessings!

Every once in awhile, I get that internal urge to share what happens in my private moments. Not those kinds of private moments 😂. I’m talking about my private time with “God,” my higher self, my intuition… the angels, the ancestors… whoever it is that talks to us (internally) when we get quiet… those moments of insight that occur during meditation.
It used to just feel weird to share these. But at this point, we’re way beyond weird. 😂 I’ve shared all kinds of stuff on here. 🤣
The one thing I know is that, weird or not, these moments help people. So when I get the urge to share, I’m sharing them.
Today, just minutes ago, I had one of those inner conversations and it left me thinking. So I’m going to share it with you and maybe it’ll get you thinking, too.
This is just an excerpt from the full conversation between Me and Inner Me. Upon rereading, I realized the early part was a little personal.
Here you go:
M: Really want the day to myself to do as I please… 5 months of no progress.
IM: Well, that’s not fully true. You launched your greeting card line & F*ck it February…
M: And missed a whole school year of speaking.
IM: Okay, that’s true, but what if what happened is exactly what was to happen?
M: What do you mean? I’m destined to fail?
IM: What if you’re not failing? What if you’re not here to maximize every gift? What if you’re here to prioritize? To choose what’s important to you. And to keep adjusting that to grant you more peace and happiness? What if your life is about adjusting the levels?
M: What if my life is about adjusting the levels…. 🤔 So you’re saying, no matter what I do, it’s the right choice, because it’s all about adjusting the levels and choosing what brings me peace, what matters to me, what I’ll choose in any given moment to adjust how I feel? Are you saying that my life is just a game of vibration and choosing things… thoughts, behaviors, focus, etc. and then see how I feel about it? Are you saying that there really is no object to all this but to experience it?
IM:
M: Wow. And then you hit me with silence, as if you just want me to sit with that thought. Okay cool. I’ll just sit with that thought.
So there it is.
What if our purpose isn’t about the completion of tasks, the “successes” were taught to care about, or even our impact on the world?
What if the purpose is to simply make choices in any given moment and to experience what they feel like, and to engage with others and objects and experience them, too?
What if this sh*t isn’t as deep, or serious, as we make it? What if life is meant to be this simple… an experience of being in the present moment, trying on emotions?
If you found out that life was truly just an experiment of finding which experiences cause you to feel the way you want to feel? How would you live your life differently?
I’m going to leave you with that thought. I need to ponder that thought, too.
Blessings,

So today I realized…. well, yesterday…. that although I’ve significantly raised my standards over the last 10 years, that my expectations were still really low.
One of the great things about social media is that there are so many couples that are content creators. I enjoy watching the couples that are not fully alike, but they clearly love each other. Seeing them have fun with each other’s quirks, rather than be exasperated over their differences, is really refreshing.
Yesterday I watched a video that helped me see a new possibility for me. The interaction between this couple helped me to raise my standard. I tell you all about it on today’s podcast. Check it out.
Blessings!

I know it’s one heck of a title, but when you listen to the podcast you’ll understand.
On today’s podcast I talk about the challenge of letting our thoughts run wild without noticing, or checking, them. When we start to focus on what is bothering us, it’s very easy to end up making a list of all the other things that suck in our lives. Depending how on often we do that, it can be very easy to go from “this thing is bothering me” to “everything sucks around here.”
On this episode, I talk about that “slippery slope,” and how I found myself on it, today….. So check out the podcast for a possibly relatable storytime. Don’t worry it’s not heavy.
