January 22 “Today I will step back and let love lead the way.” I can tell by the sound of Marianne Williamson’s voice that she’s passionate about the topic of love and trusting in its power. She talks about how we tend to try to plan, script, and control life or we think about howContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 22”

Daily Intention Setting: Day 21
January 21 “Today I will do something kind with no expectation back.” Liza Colpa says that kindness is a simple concept – but it isn’t always easy. Life gets chaotic, the world seems harsh, and even our inner voices can be a little caustic. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and become impatient sometimes. So it’sContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 21”
Daily Intention Setting: Day 20
January 20 “Today I will listen to my inner yes and no.” I don’t know about you but setting boundaries has never been my forté. Like, ever. At least not in my personal life. Maybe with my children. Some. With my students, yes. But with administrators and colleagues, not so much. Any boundaries I’ve setContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 20”
Daily Intention Setting: Day 19
January 19 “Today I will remember my worth is inherent.” I’ve listened to this session several times already this morning, not just to take notes so that I can write this post, but because it’s something that I needed to hear. This message is so incredibly important and I think it’s something every single oneContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 19”
Daily Intention Setting: Day 18
January 18 “Today I will trust myself instead of doubting every move.” I decided to change the intention of the day a bit. Rather than “Today I will back myself instead of doubting every move” I simply changed ‘back’ to ‘trust’. It felt better to me. In any case, today’s session centered around confidence. MattContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 18”
Daily Intention Setting: Day 17
January 17 “Today I will reach out instead of waiting to be reached.” Another short session with a sweet message: be the one to reach out first and make a connection. Faith Hunter reminds us that we naturally crave connection and, more importantly, that we don’t have to live life alone. Sometimes it’s easy toContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 17”
Daily Intention Setting: Day 16
January 16 “Today I will do the small brave thing that’s been waiting.” Though I’ve never seen any of his work, my favorite quote is by John Wayne: “Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway.” That’s today’s focus. Courage. Not grand acts of heroism but smaller, more subtle gestures that have givenContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 16”
Daily Intention Setting: Day 15
January 15 “Today I will stop fighting what is and soften into it.” Wow! I love the lesson today!! What a wonderful perspective to have! Our teacher is Lisa Olivera and she sends a powerful message that really resonates with me this morning: Acceptance. We know what it means, but do we really know howContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 15”
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”
