Time for simplicity can look like these grass stalks against green background

It’s Time For Simplicity

For the past few months, I realized it’s time in my life for simplicity and I took a nice long break from all that involved creating my passion projects.

Why?  Because the work behind creating and marketing my heartfelt projects became a grind.

When I retired early back in 2013…it was actually more like instantaneously quitting…I finally had the time to create what I wanted to create.  To create something meaningful to me.

Except…

Changing The Course Of Your Life. Is It Possible?

Have I ever wished that I could rewrite some of my experiences?

Sure I have. But I don’t have a time machine and it’s a good thing because I’d be in that thing more than living in the present moment. Changing the course of your life is still possible, even without the machine.

Last night my husband and I watched a romance time travel movie, “Needle in a Timestack”. For me it prompted my point of view on “what-if” scenarios on time travel, to really seeing and supporting the people in my life, and the ethics of interfering with the past. The imagined possibilities and their imagined outcomes kept me busy for quite a bit.

One of the lead characters in the movie, temporarily went back in time and behaved differently towards his friend and, as a result, beneficially altered the course of everyone’s lives, including his own life eventually. He was able to respect, love, and support his friend during his visit to the past, and the life experiences of many, not only his friend, were changed for the better.

He really saw his friend, and that was the catalyst. I felt that because I know what it feels like to be seen and to not be seen, by those I love.

Regarding going back to change the course of our life? The good news is that we don’t need a time machine to do that.

From Auto-Pilot and Non-Awareness to Creating Inner Peace

From Auto-Pilot and Non-Awareness to Creating Inner Peace

This is the first in a series of posts to discuss the benefits of a morning awakening practice. In this blog post, Sara speaks about the challenges of contrast in our very human lives. She speaks about how allowing ourselves and others to be who and how they are is a practice of self-awareness and ultimately self-care and self-love. It’s in the most challenging moments that afford us the opportunity to love ourselves in all moments rather than “try to be better”. Inner peace might be a result of perhaps allowing ourselves and others to be.

Help Yourself and the World During Chaotic Moments

Assist Yourself and Humanity During Chaotic Moments

Often it’s in life’s painful moments that offer an opportunity to practice. To practice becoming more conscious about your power to positively shift the energy on the earth. When we process something as being upsetting we can look at it as an opportunity. I wonder what will happen now? What will people choose? More importantly, what will I choose? And so we begin the practice of observation without judgment. That part takes extra practice. I know I’m still working on non-judgment. Though judging others is not to be confused with having opinions about the chaos or troubling incident. Experiences lead to opinions and opinions can lead to clarity. Judgment is not assisting anyone.

Question Mark It’s Good to Become Comfortable with Uncertainty and Mystery

It’s Good to Become Comfortable with Uncertainty and Mystery

There’s an art to living with uncertainty and mystery. If you can learn to be open to not knowing all the answers then you’re on your way to an exciting life that’s constantly evolving with your growth, well-being, and purpose at heart. None of us has to be an expert at living life. Questions are an expected part of our existence. Some answers we’re ready for and some we’re not. The art is allowing for what’s best and trusting that whatever shows up in your life, is best. Some life experiences may not make sense at the time but everything happens for a reason. All we have to do is show up, open to allowing for rather than forcing. If you’re alive, you’re dancing, even if it feels you have two left feet.

5 Simple Lessons To Benefit Humanity Now

Benefit Humanity Now Through 5 Simple Lessons

Marrying Your Spirituality with Action

Marrying Your Spirituality with Action

Allowing your own experience requires confidence, letting go of caring what others may think, and instead be a stand for the light you practice so hard to bring to your life experience.  “We’re all in this together” is, in part, about being there for others.  “We’re all connected” is more than a woo-woo phrase.  Let’s do our part to honor our connectedness.  To no longer stand by while injustice, inequities, abuse, and corruption exist.  If you believe injustice, inequities, abuse, and corruption are not personally affecting you, they are affecting someone.  And it’s that someone that you don’t personally know but are still connected to.   So in a sense, it is harming you personally as well.  When you look the other way and trust that it will all work out, you know in your heart that something is not working now for someone, somewhere.

What your part in this is, is for you to discover.  You may discover your passion and voice and realize that standing for peace and love means taking beneficial action. And how that shows up for you is as individual as you are.  You get to decide.

I’m not suggesting upping your game on social media.  This isn’t about getting people to agree with you.  It’s about becoming who you know you really are and sharing your authentic self.

I didn't recognize my connection to racism

I Didn’t Recognize My Connection To Racism

All those times I learned of something horrific happening. The story of the moment faded away and I assumed things might be getting better. I told myself people learned, and progress was made. But no progress was made. An opportunity for positive change exists more often than we may realize. And I know that I and other white people can personally make a positive difference. But it means aware of our part in creating inequality and racism. And then we take action and truly stand up for what we care about. This is where I am today…

Being Busy or Efficient Doesn’t Equal a Meaningful Life

We’re the producer, director, and actor in our daily lives.  As a producer, we create our life goals.  As the director, we think about how we want to come across.  How we want others to see us.  Not as we are, but as we want to be seen.  As the actor, we work hard to ensure we achieve our goals while looking good as we achieve them.  Getting our life all ship-shape.  Making sure it works this way or that way.  Forcing everything into place. 

It’s common to force productivity on myself for the sake of, “I matter because I’m busy”.  And therefore I make myself busy to matter.
