a moment to pause

a moment to pause

On Tuesday, I celebrate 22 years since My Last Bad Day, which sparked Pause Breathe Reflect. I still clearly remember the morning before my first P.B.R. moment. Feeling overwhelmed, I broke down during a physical therapy session, and my therapist gave me time to collect myself. My accident broke more than my body; it shattered my identity. I was desperate to find my way back home, but I was forcing it, which was my way back then. The more I struggled, the more force I applied, but it wasn't working well enough. In the space that my therapist provided, I recalled...

#60 - when you feel relief

We've made it #60.  I started this series to bring attention to all those moments between our moments. They're the ones we rush through as we strive toward our big "I'm sharing this on social" moments.  There's a tenderness in these smaller moments; they're the genesis of success and happiness. They're invitations to practice gratitude, feel, and notice, as Mary Oliver wrote, our "one wild and precious life."   They're the spirit line in our unique Navajo weaving.

And yes, I know that FB owns Instagram, and I'm playing with their new platform, Thread - my inconsistency is all part of my dance. :)Well, last week, I reunited with Facebook because someone recommended Marketplace to sell some cycling gear - as you can imagine, I have a few wheels lying around. I sold my first item on Wednesday and posted a few more things this morning to keep the momentum going. Within minutes, I...

#62 Mindful Moment - An awesome customer service call

#62 - an awesome customer service call   It's never a great moment when there's a need to call or chat with customer support. Often we are confused or frustrated, and the folks on the other end are tired. It has all the ingredients of a no-bueno stew.   It's a moment that calls for mindfulness - especially as it relates to the energy we wish to ripple at the start of the call. I'll be the first to say that beginning the call with kindness doesn't guarantee a perfect outcome, but it sure feels better.    If you know...

#63 Everyday Mindful Moment - The Moon

#63 - The MoonGrowing up, I wanted to be an astronaut, although I wasn't into Star Trek. I just wanted to go to the Moon like Neil Armstrong, wear my little red sweatshirt covered in NASA patches, and go to the planetarium. When I looked up at the sky, all my worries seemed so much smaller at night.This week you might have seen the latest supermoon. It might have felt like you could have grabbed it and pulled it toward you. It was stunning, and the next one is on August 1st. As you know, I didn't become an astronaut,...
