Permission to Step Away

I just returned from the beach.

After a busy morning that was filled with answering more emails than I even knew was possible and figuring out all sorts of administrative things for my business, I could feel my energy leaving my body very quickly. It was the kind of day where it seemed like I was putting out one mini fire after the next, and I needed a break.

Thankfully, I now have the perfect solution for times like these: head to the beach. 

So I bundled up, and within minutes was in the middle More

Permission to Stand Up for Myself

I hardly slept last night. 

Before going to sleep, I did everything “right” to insure that I would sleep soundly:

  • I closed all screens two hours before winding down.
  • I played a game of Backgammon with my sweetie, which we have done every night for many years.

Saying Yes to the Creative Flow

For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been completely immersed in a world that I hadn’t allowed myself to be a part of for quite some time: the world of creation.

It’s been a year since I was last here, actually. It’s been a year since I have felt the urge to step into this seemingly endless well of creativity – this vortex of imagination and possibility. It’s been a year since I have felt this magnetic pull and given myself fully to it.

And it’s been absolutely More
