This phrase can be a game-changer in our day to day and ultimately the long run IF we let it.

Let me explain...

When we come from a calm and centred place of "everything is happening FOR me, (YES, even the perceived crap 💩) it changes the way we see/perceive
1. the situation
2. our role in it
3. any problem solving/adjusting/letting go that might be necessary for the statement to be true.

Situations are just what they are, neither good or bad. It is the way in which we perceive them that creates the good or bad.

I know, I know, some times some situations certainly suck! Gah...

However, when a we take a moment in those sucky situations to say " Hey Nancy (insert your name here) If the Universe is conspiring for me then how is this particular situation working FOR me?

Hmmmm 🤔

Do it and see what happens. Your brilliant, beautiful mind starts to show you the ways in which your current situation is indeed working in your favour! what can you learn, what can you let go of?, what can you forgive? What can you shift on the spot and move into a more "i'm responsible for me and my emotions instead of I'm a victim? I wonder.

I will admit, this type of awareness and inquiry takes practice so I suggest to start with low stakes situations like traffic or something getting cancelled etc. Build your muscles in this area and watch your life change little by little. And your general overall peace and well-being.

Happy Wednesday!

Big Love 💗

Does this happen to anyone else?

I mean really brain? Can’t you just find ways to help me reach my goals instead of making up all kinds of stories and excuses to not keep my commitment to myself? 🙄

I know I don’t enjoy being told what to do, apparently, even by myself! 😂

Does this happen to any of you? What do you do? I am grateful that I have lots of tools in my toolbox to help me be aware of it and then push past the resistance.

Today it was a time deadline of midnight and simply post what was on my mind.

I also asked myself this question…
How can I make this easy? 🤔

Ok, day 2 in the books.

The truth is that we are always being judged.

PERIOD.

I think it must be hardwired in our DNA that we notice and then judge differences in others and then judge the difference as either good or bad. We then see others as better or worse than ourselves. And then, sometimes people share those opinions and judgements. Sometimes they are hurtful and spiteful and most often, unhelpful! (my opinion no scientific backing that I have studied 😉)

So here's the thing and I know we have probably all heard it before. You are going to be judged no matter what, so go ahead and do your thang! This fear of being judged can stop us from living our best life as our best selves and creating and contributing our best ideas to our/the world. All because Joe over there might think it sounds/looks weird.

Sometimes we "tone it down" or we stay quiet or we don't show up at all. And then we stop creating and contributing and sharing and reaching and growing...

The thing is though, that the habit of avoidance and fear sets in.... eeek...

This can be quite painful and one might even call it the dreaded "Comfort Zone"😬

I admit, I have been here in my life, A LOT!

Sometimes in personal situations, sometimes in business or workplace, sometimes here on social media with business and personal. Sometimes, I feel courageous in my personal life but avoid stuff in business and vice versa.

Anyone else?

So... to flex my writing and courage muscles, (I am taking a writing course) I am challenging myself to show up here every.single.day in June and share some stories, ideas, thoughts, offers, fun, energy and encouragement via writing. I am going to place it here on Facebook and Instagram knowing that it might not be for everyone here, but hopeful that my words might resonate with some of you as well. 😊 And maybe, encourage you to flex your courage muscles in the area of your life you would most like to! 💪👏

Here I go...
See you tomorrow!😉

I love quiet mornings to myself.

I enjoy the slow start to spite knowing that I am also my most productive at that time of day. I am truly a flitter and flow type of gal at heart. I enjoy a little of this and a little of that, making progress along the way. I guess that is what I have been doing these last 8 months since my mom left this earthly plain.

I have given myself the gift of time. To rest, hibernate if you will and allowed myself to do a little of this and that. I have been practicing quiet. Quiet and listening to the nudges and acting on them.

You know the truth is that in the beginning right after my mom died I felt like my brain was screaming at me, "DIVE BACK IN!" That voice of panic saying "what now?" "You need to_________. You need to__________. You need to________. You should________. You should____________ You should____________." Others echoed these out loud as well.

It felt disarming.

I knew I needed a HOT minute. I also recognized I had the gift of time to actually take it and spend some time in the quiet.(I realize that is not a gift afforded to everyone) I painted and created, I read, I ran errands daily with my dad to "get out," I played cards with my niece and nephew enjoyed weekly dinners with siblings and played more cards and laughed. I spent time in person or on the phone with friends. I celebrated my favourite people's wins and talked through the tough spots. There are always tough spots. I started to move my body regularly again.

And.... always at the back of my mind, questions. How do I want to show up in the/my world? How do I want to serve and contribute heading into this next chapter of my life? Ideas, thoughts, inspirations and excitements are showing up. I am energized to start sharing and creating a community of those I resonate with and who resonate with me. YAY! I am soooooooo grateful I took that HOT minute! lol It has lead me here. I am coming out of hibernation and engaging in the world again. Thanks for your lovely patience!

So... Hi👋, again.
How are YOU?

My most amazing mom passed away Tuesday morning. 😞 She was 87. She made a huge impact in her world. She had this amazing way of reminding you who you were. Even when you forgot, she never did. She always saw your light! It was her gift and I know a lot would agree with me. If you had the opportunity to spend time with her you left feeling better than you came! I love that quietly she made things happen and created a beautiful safe place to land for anyone who knew her and of course her family! She loved to laugh and dance and make merry as they say! We did it a LOT! She always made the best of situations. It’s hard to sum up such an amazing mom and sister and aunt and friend and peer and acquaintance… she was a gift that I am very very grateful for! 🙏🏻 💗

Sitting on my front porch this past weekend and looking at the brand new hydrangea flowers growing I was reminded of a life truth…

100’s of tiny blooms(actions) clustered together will create one magnificent bloom. Each of these small blooms are needed in order to create the whole. Each small bloom perfect in itself and as part of the whole equally important.

This is also true for any goal/outcome we want to achieve in life. The magnificent whole (outcome) is made up of equally important smaller steps (goals).

It was a good reminder for me to stay present in the smaller steps (always keeping the whole(bigger outcome) in mind, and enjoy creating and completing all the other beautiful actions/steps along the way!

I wonder… what magnificent whole are you creating this week by taking and creating all the smaller steps? How are you staying present? And who else LOVES Hydrangea in all their gloriousness! 👇

“Don’t wait for inspiration. It comes while working." – Henri Matisse

Words to put in practice every single day!

You too? I find as I sit at my desk and “create” “play” in my sketchbook I can be so critical. I think I should be better at this already. I remember learning to play the cello at the age of 34 and was surprised that I wasn’t sounding like Yo Yo Ma after the first few lessons! 😳😂 You think I am joking but in a way I wasn’t. I did think it should come easier and faster than it was.

The same thing is happening with my sketchbook musings. So then the above happened and I think “what is this?” 🥴 And then I remind myself that I am a beginner and that comes with fun and learning and freedom too. To explore and play and simply enjoy the process no matter the outcome! And to find the amazing joy and peace that comes in the practice! And to find kind words and to sit again and again and start!

So today I share some more work/practice of adding to my sketchbook.

What are you “practicing” daily. How are you speaking to yourself about the learning/practice/work? Are you using kind encouraging words?

Hope so!

Big Love
Nancy
