Daily Intention Setting: Day 14
January 14 “Today I will choose rest instead of pushing through.” “Rest?! What’s that?”, we ask. “Self-care? Not sure. Let me Google it . . .”, we joke. The go, go, GO! of life usually leaves us wondering where the days went and how in the world we got through it. The answer: we pushedContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 14”
Daily Intention Setting: Day 13
January 13 “Today I will let things unfold in their own time.” What an interesting concept. Wouldn’t you agree? It’s almost unthinkable in this day and age – mainly because we’ve become so impatient. LOL In today’s session Mark Epstein says that patience isn’t just “passive waiting”; it’s the ability to sit with ourselves andContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 13”
Daily Intention Setting: Day 12
January 12 “Today I will rest in the fact that I’ve done enough.” Please pardon the tardiness of today’s post. It’s been quite a busy day and I’ve had enough.

Jack Kornfield’s voice and speech cadence remind me of Mr. Rogers. That kind, calm grandfatherContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 10”
Daily Intention Setting: Day 9
January 9 “Today I will remember that I am in control of my own life.” Hmm . . . well, let me see here. I’m having some trouble with this one. Not gonna lie. Maybe it’s because I slept terribly last night and started my day as a grumpy lump. I woke up, panicky andContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 9”

Daily Intention Setting: Day 7
January 7 “Today I will look for something that makes my heart smile.” Yesterday we expressed gratitude for something in our lives. Today we look for the joy in the world. As Darius Bashar tells us, “It’s everywhere!” Joy happens to be his favorite topic. He refers to joy as a paradox, a “cosmic riddleContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 7”
Daily Intention Setting: Day 6
January 6 “Today I will notice what’s going right instead of what’s missing.” David Ji was our teacher today. This dude is so chill. I love it. His lesson is about gratitude. Simple, pure, gratitude for the blessings in our lives. Whatever those might be. The big. The small. And everything in between. The everydayContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 6”
