“Buy your underwear one size larger.”
If you wear underwear, trust me — just try this. Let go of the label, and celebrate your body and soul with comfort. Cut the label off, even. There’s no label on love.
Try this with one pair, and see what kind of difference it makes for you. Which style will you treat yourself to, today?

“What is one thing you can do this morning to make all your tomorrows be your best yet?”
Just for this morning
Be the hostess with the mostest (or the host with the most).
Accommodate one and all.
Serve with a smile
And go the extra mile.
How do you feel in your body about “accommodate one and all?” As you read that part, did you feel expansive? Or maybe you felt contracting, protective. Like I did.
If it was the latter, are your own needs been being met? I may feel short-handed in this, lately…
…Which is exactly why attending to others will help.
Wait. What?!?
Yes. Contract less. Expand more. Accommodating others is an expansive gesture of giving. Which, paradoxically, also gives more to ourselves. As I soften, I begin to discover my own needs being met.
Paradox = Divinity Alert!!
Do you have to throw open your private home sanctuary to strangers? Oh, heck no! (However, if that lights you up then by all means open your amazing bed & breakfast!!) But what if you helped someone to merge in front of you, in traffic? How about letting your friend pick the time and place to meet for lunch, without tweaking it? Could you allow your child to straight-up choose tonight’s home-streamed movie, without negotiating a compromise?
In this moment, can I be willing to give my spouse the gift of just listening (what they would really like), without engaging in what I consider to be an interesting, thought-provoking discussion (what I would really like)? And can I see that this is also the deep connection that I really desire, in a different form?
Accommodating is simply thinking and being kind, to others.
You will also find yourself again.
Today, how can you accommodate someone you love? A stranger who crosses your path? Yourself?
Whatcha working on??

We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.
— Carlos Castaneda
Of course. And thank you for the reminder.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I can’t wait to get to work!
What are you working on?

Just for this morning
Peer beyond the horizon.
Imagine there is no edge to your existence
And no limit to your potential.
Take some time today to sit, and dream. With no restrictions, no restraints, no practicality. Suspend your current “reality.”
(If it helps, consider that you have just won the lottery of a lifetime and are financially complete beyond the end of time!)

“What is one thing you can do this morning to make all your tomorrows be your best yet?”
Just for this morning
Prepare for takeoff.
Fuel up, and plan your route ahead.
Strap yourself in
and take the chocks away.
Do you have a big idea, a grand vision, a “one day I’ll…” goal? Pursuing that skills training. Creating your home business. Writing that book.
Or maybe you’re simply looking to have a grand day. Flowing through tasks. Reveling in relationships. Embracing the day’s unfolding with ease and joy.
Either way, where do you pause? How are you holding yourself back? In what ways do you limit yourself?
Decide what it is that you want.
Point yourself in your desired direction.
Take a deep breath
And go.
How would you like your day to be today? And what dream are you putting off for the future? Reread that airplane takeoff metaphor again — you can feel the excitement and anticipation in your body, can’t you?!? Follow that feeling. Right now.
