    A Gift

    My to-do list became a birthday list or a “gift” to myself list.

    Next week is my birthday and what I most wanted I realized when I listened to my heart- was to NOT have a lot of stuff on my to-do list. To declutter the to-do list.

    To have the peace and freedom that would come from having it done.

    So I changed my to-do list- to a birthday list.

    One I would do FOR ME as a gift.

    BEING

    What if you stopped waiting for something or sometime in the future and instead started living your life more fully today? Even in the midst of who knows what, what if you chose to make all 7 days of your week extraordinary in some way —right now? What if you intentionally experienced some true joy and connection in each one? What if you decided to be better together? With all the people in your life? This work is the preventive care for a happy, healthy, connected, and joyful life and relationships.

    It's Ok To Take A Break

    Sometimes life throws out a lot of swirl.

    And pausing and being present in the swirl is part of the journey.

    Rushing to solve and fix and decide is tempting but it often means you miss the offered lesson and growth.

    Using attention intention and a soft mindful focus, I fully experienced and savored every moment. I noticed and appreciated every flower, view, and green rolling hill. I sat on so many perfectly placed rocks.

    Getting Help

    Getting help was never an easy thing for me. And I expect for many of you.

    My mind likes to tell me I “should” be able to do it myself. That self-sufficiency is a measure of strength and adequacy.

    Another Pandemic Moment

    What’s in our control is how we show up for this moment and for each other.

    How do you want to show up? With love. With presence. Perhaps even with joy when possible.

    Our Call to Experience Joy

    Our unmanaged minds, our not mindful minds, habitually see what is not working and what is problematic. Especially physician minds. It’s part of our training to see what’s wrong and where we fall short rather than where we have been and what we have accomplished.

    Mindfully noticing and being aware of our wins, good things, and celebrating them trains our brains to see what IS working. And it brings joy and connection and positivity.

    "Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and do that. The world needs people who have come alive."

    A year ago was the first day for me of choosing a different path. One that veered in a different direction.
