Let’s dance today!!

It starts with changing thoughts…

Louise Hay reminds us that every thought we think becomes part of the inner “files” that shape our reality. For years, many of us have unconsciously stored beliefs like I’m not enough or I can’t do this. And when we finally introduce a new, loving affirmation, it’s natural for doubt to rise up—not to stop us, but to show us exactly where our healing begins. When we welcome doubt as a messenger rather than an enemy, we can gently rewrite those old stories and begin building a new foundation based on self-love, possibility, and truth. ✨ If Louise’s wisdom is speaking to you, her most beloved books and affirmation tools—like You Can Heal Your Life, Power Thought Cards, and Affirmations for Self-Esteem—are all 50% off for the final hours of our Cyber Weekend Sale, ending tonight at 11:59 PM PST. Take advantage of this moment to start creating new files filled with love, confidence, and compassion. 🤍📚 https://www.hayhouse.com/shop/holiday-gift-guide-2025?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=organic_post&utm_campaign=holiday_2024_offer_07_50percentoffsitewide&utm_content=9838

Wow

This prayer walk, and these words from Valarie Kaur, spoken at a detention center in LA after ICE raids, express Spirit in Action 💕

***********

Last night at the Federal Building where they are caging our loved ones, we came with flowers.

My remarks a moment before this photo was taken:

“To all of you soldiers, officers, and agents: Who do you want to be in this moment in history? How do you want the child in your life to remember you? Did you really take this job to go to war with your own people?

What does it look like for you to choose courage right now? It may require you to make a sacrifice…

We come here with flowers. We come here with flowers. And we will keep coming here with flowers.

As long as you hold our people in those cages – we will come here with flowers.

With our ancestors at our backs – we will come here with flowers.

With love as our guide – we will come here with flowers.

With the eyes of a sage and heart of a warrior – we will come here with flowers.

As long as we breathe — we will come here with flowers.

Until we are all free – we will come here with flowers.

As long as you are HERE, and they are THERE [our loved ones in this building] – we will come here with flowers.”

Stay strong and kind….

A good distraction
Can’t imagine how they do this!

I can only imagine what the practice was like 😅

Good advice!

I loved my conversation with Deepak Chopra. He shared his “STOP formula” for pausing before reacting — one small shift that can transform how we move through life: 🔹S – Stop. 🔹T – Take 3 deep breaths and smile. 🔹O – Observe your breath and sensations in your body. 🔹 P – Proceed with compassion and awareness. One of the most powerful changes you can make is to hit the S.T.O.P. button. This practice — rooted in mindfulness — is a great Microstep that helps you respond rather than react, creating space for clarity and deeper connections. Let me know how the S.T.O.P. formula works for you in the comments! #Mindfulness #Microsteps #WellBeing #DeepakChopra #AskThriveLive
