Shared Wisdom Guest Post
Featuring Leah Griffith from Eating Life Raw.
I had the sensation of a house falling, jolting me from my dream, and then realizing that I was safely at home.
I believe that I have just gone through one of the most agonizingly beautiful times in my recent life. I can add the word beautiful now because…well, I’m safely at home and all the scary stuff seems to be under control. But, in all sincerity, the last year has been an epic journey of crossroads and discoveries, More

I love Etsy. For those of you who aren’t familiar with it, it’s a website that features handmade items. Individual crafters can open a shop there and sell their creations. But it’s so much more than that – it’s a wonderful community, too.
We began our Etsy adventure in 2007, and it’s been a big part of my life ever since. We started with our main shop, thisisit, and have since opened two other shops: qualitycraftsupplies More

You can never have too much positivity, right? I truly enjoyed reading what you were grateful for yesterday, and I wanted to keep that positivity rolling!

And it’s so important to be grateful and live a positive life so that we attract more joy and happiness into our lives. It’s such an enjoyable way to live, and the more we can surround ourselves with positivity, the more likely we are to have it More

Have you ever had one of those days where the seriousness of life and the weight of it all feels heavier than normal? You wake up to news that you would rather not hear. You check your email and find messages that are exactly what you don’t want to read.

Sometimes you just don’t feel like going within and centering yourself and slowing down. Sometimes you feel as though you truly don’t have time for it. Your life doesn’t allow for these seemingly frivolous breaks of journaling, meditating, and soulfulness. What does this have to do with the real world anyway, you might ask yourself? How is this going to pay my bills or put food on the table? Rather than taking this time to slow down and nurture my spirit, you could instead use More

“Your whole body, from wingtip to wingtip,” Jonathan would say, other times, “is nothing more than your thought itself, in a form you can see. Break the chains of your thought, and you break the chains of your body, too.”
