Two things I want in 2025. Insurance that actually gives a f**k about their people in stead of making us sick just to kill us and take our money. And healthy natural food that doesn’t have carcinogens or hormones in it. I mean is that too much to ask for a first world country?

SACRED EXHAUSTION

Your tiredness has dignity to it!

Do not rush to pathologise it, or push it away, for it may contain great intelligence, even medicine.

You have been on a long journey from the stars, friend.
Bow before your tiredness now; do not fight it any longer.

There is no shame in admitting that you cannot go on.
Even the courageous need to rest.
For a great journey lies ahead. And you will need all of your resources.

Come, sit by the fire of Presence. Let the body unwind; drop into the silence here.

Forget about tomorrow, let go of the journey to come, and sink into this evening's warmth.

Every great adventure is fuelled by rest at its heart.

Your tiredness is noble, friend, and contains healing power... if you would only listen.

Yesterday as I watched my mom eat braised cabbage I had a thought. My mom has always hated braised cabbage. But with Altzheimers, she has forgotten so many of her "hates." She no longer hates orange flowers or raw onions or Halmark movies or polyester. Imagine if you woke up one day and you had forgotten to hate all the things that irritate you in life? What if you forgot to hate the people and the politics and the future and the past? What if Altzheimers is mindfulness?

Thanks everybody for voting for me for the yoga category of Best in region! I never knew I was nominated, and I never knew I took second place! Thanks to those who look into the cracks and crevices and let me know! I really appreciate you all. ❤️

Baby Maverick turned two today! We had a fun party for him!! And an amazing surprise which I can't speak on because I don't want to ruin it for them lol

RESTING IS DOING 💜

If only we could see the power in rest.
If only we could attach to it, the worth it so deserves.
If only we could open our minds to the idea, that everything in nature has its time to rise and its time to descend.
That each of these acts is just as important as the other.
And that is exactly as it must be.
If only we could see the courage it takes to lay aside the worries, the fears and the comparison, just for a few hours, to let the mind, spirit and body come together again.
Doing the one thing they all require so much… nothing.
If only we could see the power in rest.
Because resting is very much doing.
