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”
Daily Intention Setting: Day 5
January 5 “Today I will move in a way that is rooted, clear, and open to what is possible.” Alex Elle said something pretty cool during this session.

January 4 “Today I will live from here.” Oh. My. Goodness. Love, love, love this one! So simple, yet so true.

Daily Intention Setting: Day 3
January 3 “Today I will remember who I want to be.” Stuart Sandeman says that we all have a version of ourselves that we aspire to be: kinder, more patient, more energetic, etc. What happens, though, is that “life gets noisy”. We get stressed out, we’re pulled one way or the other, and/or we reactContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 3”
Daily Intention Setting: Day 2
January 2. Day 2: It’s getting late in the day. I got home not that long ago. I ate dinner and now I’m in my pajamas. I’m tired. But there’s something a tiny bit different today. I’ve set down a stone or two – and I feel lighter. I’m not carrying the weight like IContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 2”
Daily Intention Setting: Day 1
January 1. Happy New Year. Happy New DAY! I’ve been saying for a long time that resolutions are great but they don’t have to begin on New Year’s Day. I believe that whenever you want to make a change you should just do it. Just start. Whenever that may be. Middle of April. End ofContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 1”
Hello Again . . . and Again
I know, I know. It’s been quite a while since you’ve heard anything from me. It’s been quite a while since I’ve had a chance to breathe much less write. I’ve been working a lot, just like you, and there have been some rather large upheavals in my life that demanded my attention. For overContinue reading “Hello Again . . . and Again”
Becoming “Soul-Centered” – Conclusion
I just realized that I should have chosen a better title for this post because I don’t really feel that it’s the end. It may be the end of the book, the end of this series, but it’s only the beginning of a lifetime of living authentically and mindfully. Over the past 8 weeks, we’veContinue reading “Becoming “Soul-Centered” – Conclusion”
