Cultivate Your Superpower of Consistency
A Love Letter to Myself - to stay the course, remain consistent to what I want to make happen.
Because if I'm 100% committed to what I want to make happen, the next step is to be consistent. Consistency is really tapas in action; staying in the fire. Over time, it will give us access to breaking out of default patterns and our negative thoughts. And on the way, create a kinder and healthier seed in our mind. While it is not easy, I know I can find ease in the effort. And what helps is to know my WHY.
Let's Try A Little Kindness
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible. Dalai Lama
I choose to write this post today because it has been resting in my heart and is what I need.
The world feels hard right now.
So many feelings of anger, grief, confusion, sadness….
Even more opinions and judgements - I’m right you’re wrong….
I can’t pretend to understand what’s going on in the world right now….
I know how it makes my heart feel though ….. sad
Kindness is what the world needs. A little reminder - not to be kind, because we are already inherently kind, but to choose to be kinder more than necessary.
Kindness is not a solution to what’s happening out there in the world, but it’s one way to heal our heart space so we can be stronger to face what’s out there.

Love Every B**** Of You
I wrote and rewrote this post so many times (which is why I missed sending my newsletter out last week)
When I first wrote it, I was feeling nice and fuzzy, and then boom, time of the month happened. I was feeling frustrated, angry and sad, tired all within a day, which lasted a good 5 days.
The title of the blog was originally Love Every Bits of You, and it’s during that angsty period that I "cleverly" changed it to “Love Every B**** of you”. Well, at least I thought it was clever.... but then I wasn't not even sure I can write it out loud... it is a bad word, no? Anyways... I ended up with B*****, but you get what i mean...
I'm so frustrated at my Bits sometimes, and I know I can't change it... and having to practice Equanimity last week for the 40 days got me present to another experience of being calm which is be in acceptance and surrendering and going with the flow. I'm angry. I complain and I still love every bits of me.
It's like… don't you have complaints about your other half or about your mum or your boss, that you wish you could change, but having done the work, you know you can't? You have to accept them the way they are.
It's like that here, with your bits.
We can't change our "bits" either, but we can change how you respond to them. And change happens moment to moment. You notice your b***** hollering at ya, you holla back (be friendly), you accept them, you love them and you forgive them if you don't feel like it.
And Off SHE Goes........
Love Mantra for Anxious People
I'm beginning to sound like broken record. I do hold back from being Me, because of the not-good-enoughs swirling in my DNA, which cause me anxiety.
Before you tell me to STOP IT....
I have stopped my not-good-enoughs in its tracks, but it has to start somehow somewhere.. Something has to catch fire before you put the fire out.
I don't think there's any way to stop the thoughts from forming. And the hardest job is not believe in the lie that we believed as the truth all our lives. And it's possible to listen, acknowledge and do what scares you most, which is to drop the not-good-enoughs and just be good, and have faith that that is enough.
