“What is one thing you can do this morning to make all your tomorrows be your best yet?”
Just for this morning
make space.
Imagine the time between each tick lengthens.
What will you do with that extra time?
Set to it.
Make space. Ooohhhh, what a gift. Self-care. I love the idea of imagining lengthening the time between seconds, that was new for me.
Other ways I have found to make space include Read More
What the struggle is really about

The idea that there’s beauty in the struggle has nothing to do with the struggle at all. It’s to do with how you overcome it.
We all have challenges, that’s part of our journey here in this thing called Life. Some challenges are clearly visible, others less so.
Yet it’s not about the struggle. It’s about ourselves within that. Read More

“What is one thing you can do this morning to make all your tomorrows be your best yet?”
Just for this morning
remember what’s past.
What moments of your life
would you like to live again?
What will you do differently
this time around?
I love this for the words, “(what) would you like to live again?” That is very different than “do-over.”
It’s not only about looking back and seeing what I’d fix. It’s also about reliving what was pleasant. And honoring what was awesome. What other fabulous choices could I make in my mind, for other bouts of pleasant awesomeness?
It’s like going back and re-reading a Choose Your Own Adventure story, and this time playing with different choices. Selecting different moves. And infinite varieties of combinations of choices and moves. The final story is more complete for having fully explored diverse options.
Try this online Hogwarts Adventure, from Infinite Story‘s online library of choose-your-own-adventure stories.
What is a pleasant memory? What is something awesome that you recall? With great compassion for yourself, what is a memory you might consciously relive differently in order to heal it?

Just for this morning
come in from the cold.
Join others around the campfire.
Share your journey,
and learn from others’.
Plan new adventures together.
We each respond in our own way to the world around us. During these particular times (and the above was written well before 2020), there’s much to process. And although it is indeed a highly personal journey, it’s important that we don’t ultimately process alone.
Do not isolate yourself within your own thoughts. Be open to other stories. Allow them to influence your own, to adjust and refine your understanding. Have the courage to take your stand in your evolution, rather than only in your current awareness.
The adventure of awakening
Again
and again
and again.
What is a current story of yours? Is it based on past information and understanding? How could another’s story potentially refine yours? Who could be a safe person for you to come in from the cold and sit by the campfire with?

“What is the one thing you can do this morning to make all your tomorrows be your best yet?”
Just for this morning
seek out what pleases you the most.
Where do you add the most value?
Find it
and then do that some more.
When we are happy, we don’t just feel value, we add it. Our individual joy contributes to the collective good of all. So be happy! And then, do that some more. What it means is that I am better for your happiness.
Thank you, from the fullness of my heart. Carry on!
