I know that fear and anxiety (which is just another form of fear) can stem from wanting to control things- including outcomes, events and people, which is ultimately impossible, and to try to do so is an effort in frustration and futility (especially with a budding toddler 🤣). Of course, preparation, education, and putting forth my full effort is important, but the rest is not necessarily up to me (thank goodness 🙌🏼). .
Today, I will do my best to remain open and curious to the unknown, trust the unfolding process, and absorb every moment this beautiful life has to offer, one luxurious, full-bodied breath at a time, remembering that the point of power is ALWAYS in the present moment. 🌟
.
If I take care of what is in front of me to the best of my ability, with integrity, mindfulness and intention, I know everything else will fall into place...eventually (not necessarily on my timeline) ❤️
.
I am aware that I am setting an example no matter who is watching, but it’s important, now, more than ever, because I know who is watching. 💞

The holidays are...a lot of things. “Easy” is not a word I would ever use to describe them. Being with family (no matter their relationship to us, age, history, dynamic, etc.) may or may not be our first choice, but how we respond to them, and the encounters involved therein, can be.
.
This #mantra is helping me through 4 days of being at home with a toddler (who - as cute, hilarious, and magical as she is, also has her moments 😳), and 2 hyper chiweenies, while I recover from pneumonia, and Adam recovers from bronchitis 😩
.
In those moments of pure exhaustion and frustration, I try my best to remember that I alone, hold the power over myself - I take a deep breath, and silently whisper, “my patience is infinite” 🙏🏼
.
More often than not (certainly not always - because I am not perfect by any means), it helps instantaneously, and I am able to call my power back and operate from a place of spaciousness and ease rather than reaction and frustration. .
Where our discomfort lies, our potential for power, learning and integration lie as well. Wishing everyone a powerful and illuminating holiday season. 🔥

Happiest of birthdays to my favorite fiery Sagittarius 🔥 You light up my life, and the world, with your no f***s given, power to the people, everything is figure-out-able attitude and perspective, and I can’t thank you enough for holding space for so many people (including me! 🙋🏼♀️) to become better, smarter, stronger, and more critical thinking versions of ourselves. You are truly a one-of-a-kind change agent, and I am so excited to see you shine like the burning ball of gas (aka a “star”, but I know that’s your preferred name for it, as you remind me every time I sing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” to Grace 🤣) you are!!! 🌟
.
You just keep getting better and I’m so F’n grateful to be on your team! ❤️
