My Wish For You Today…

Nov 9, 2014

Today…

My wish for you all today is to not only see your worth but to FEEL your worth. Sit down. Take 10 minutes to yourself; even if you have to hide in the bathtub, the garage, your car, your closet LOL ~ where ever you need to go for some peace.

Bring a pen and notebook or post it’s with you. Take a deep breath and now write down 5-10 things that you are incredible at; think of everything thing you DO in a day that you absolutely rock at and begin writing.

It doesn’t mater if its something like , “I fold a mean fitted bed sheet (because that is a friggin talent)” OR I create the most delicious and loving meals for my family” OR “I love my pets like no one else can”.

Celebrate all that you DO because of all of who YOU ARE.

Then is no one else as magical, magnificent and incredible as you ~ now you just have to begin to see and feel it too!

Now grab another sheet of paper and write down 5 BIG JUICY AUDACIOUS GOALS for yourself. They can be anything, be a dreamer, create a vision, have fun and let it flow. Write down the first thing that comes to mind NOT the first thing you think, “yeah, that sounds more practical or realistic”

LAME LAME LAMEOOOOOO

Nope, not happening. You deserve more you ARE more.

Try again…

And try, try, try every damn day until you stand in ANY mirror and smile lovingly, compassionately and whole-heartedy back at the beautiful soul you are.

Don’t hide behind smoke and mirrors and keep all of your gifts from the world…We NEED YOU.

YOU need you.

The Many Teachers In Our Life.

Jan 6, 2014

I have had many, many teachers in this life. A lot of them older, more experienced than myself and I love learning from their journey’s however, I find myself most intrigued by the youngest teachers of all…my children, their friends, the children I see in the hallways at school, at hockey, dance, in the grocery store, at the studio or simply passing by me in life.

I believe there is a teacher in us all. When we feel as though we know more than someone else simply because we are older, more ‘experienced’ or have been here longer I think its sad.

I have often said in my classes and workshops that if you ever begin to feel a disconnect with your body and aren’t sure what to do watch small children. They rest when in discomfort, they cry when the need comes on, they hug and love unconditionally, they sleep when their body asks for it, they are honest and blunt and say it like it is because they haven’t been conditioned to do anything otherwise, they squat to go to the washroom, they stretch first thing in the morning, they fuel their bodies in small portions often throughout the day, they ask question; LOTS and LOTS of questions, they write amazing stories and little letters without caring if the grammar or spelling is 100%, they get angry, feel frustrated and honestly emote their feelings and then let them go, they do not hold grudges…they love again.

I choose to surround myself with many teachers as I realize and remember that I too am still a child – we all are, I too am a student – we all are, I too am a teacher – we all are and that I too LOVE THIS LIFE!
