July 2022
July is here and I hope you have been able to find some peace and rest in your body and heart amongst the absolute craziness that is our world and country.
The last few weeks have been exhausting on many different levels. With the overturn of Roe vs Wade and the heavy weight that is carried in the hearts and bodies for so many with this devastating news, along with the final push to move out of our 212 space and consolidate down into our new/old home I find a bone-wearing fatigue settling in my body.
With such huge changes happening on both the macro and micro levels of life I have found myself pausing to ask a couple really valuable questions:
1. What are my true values, and how do I fully & truly want to live in this experience of being?
2. What extra BS am I hauling around that does not serve these values or takes up extra space in my body, heart and mind and holds me back from simply living?
So my mantra this month is “simplify”. Simplify my days. Simplify my plans. Simplify my thoughts. And when I find myself being drawn into the enticing energy of doing, to pause instead. And then ask myself these questions. Does doing this thing align with the values of "Rest, Nourish, Ground"? Or am I falling into an old habit that will lead to exhaustion again.
So I invite you to join me in this practice of simplifying. These hot days of summer demand a slowing down so as to not, quite literally, burnout or overheat. What can you let go of to help settle into what truly serves your soul, your life and your dreams?
Loving you all.
May rest be with you.
