Heart of the Soul

You can hang onto your pain. Shackle yourself to the heaviness of it. Or you can begin to let it go. You can allow yourself to be free. It’s up to you.   You can be consumed by your anger and your finger pointing. Or you can forgive others and also yourself. You can invite…

It never fails. When I sit down to write – when I invite quiet and solitude into my life and slow down long enough to center myself and listen to my soul – I am filled with an unsettled feeling. I am filled with a compulsive urge to check and then re-check my email. And…

I did something the other day that I haven’t done in years: I bought something for myself that I didn’t need, that wasn’t practical, and that I didn’t even know what I would do with. I saw this cute scarf and immediately was drawn to it. I don’t normally wear scarves, and I didn’t plan…

It’s inevitable. We’re going to suffer in this lifetime. We’re going to feel pain. We’re going to experience sadness. We’re going to have our hearts broken. We’re going to feel lower than we ever expected was possible. It’s true. Sometimes life just sucks. Our loved ones die. We get sick. Relationships end. We lose our…

  I wonder if we could try an experiment together. Right here, right now. It will just take a couple of minutes. Let’s each take out a piece of paper and spend 1-2 minutes writing down all of our most common thoughts. Those that are deeply grooved into our subconscious mind. Those that are said…

This post is going to be super short, but I hope you won’t breeze by it because of that. I hope you won’t assume that because it’s not long-winded it must not be important. I hope you’ll give it a chance because I’m about to share something that I feel is essential that we all…

Our moods go up and down. Our emotions fluctuate constantly. Sometimes we’re happy, and sometimes we’re sad. Sometimes we’re angry, and sometimes we’re grateful. Sometimes we’re afraid, and sometimes we’re content. And all of these states of being are completely normal and completely necessary. But sometimes, especially when we’ve immersed ourselves in the world of…

Let’s try an experiment together. Let’s sit still for a few moments. Get comfortable. Relax into our body. Take a few deep breaths. Close our eyes. And feel ourselves becoming more centered – more grounded. Let’s take a few more deep breaths together and then ask ourselves this question: What do I need most right…

You’ll always be busy. You’ll always have too much to do. You’ll always have the kids to pick up or the groceries to get or the errands to run. You’ll always have the house to clean or the dinner to cook or the work to finish. You’ll always, always, always have a full life. Always.…

I love solving Sudoku puzzles. It’s one of my favorite ways to unwind on my days off. There’s something really relaxing about knowing that there is a solution, and that hopefully I’ll be able to solve it. However, I’m not the greatest Sudoku puzzle solver that ever lived. Not even close. While I am pretty…
