February 1 We did it! We achieved 31 straight days of setting a daily intention for ourselves. I think that deserves a little pat on the back!!! Some sessions resonated more deeply with me than others, which is to be expected, but there were a few that I would love to listen to again andContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Wrap-up”

Daily Intention Setting: Day 31
January 31 “Today I will remember that steady steps build lasting change.” DAY 31!!! WOW!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! I’m excited about the fact that we’ve shown up every day for a month committed to our goal to work on personal growth. Jason McGrice says that when we have a goal, we’re consistent, and we have an intention,Continue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 31”
Daily Intention Setting: Day 29
January 29 “Today I will believe that good things can still happen.” I really like Sah D’Simone’s description of hope: “. . . a hope that is spacious, creative, and deeply alive. Hope is not about toxic positivity. It’s not pretending that everything’s ok. It’s the quiet courage to stay open – to trust thatContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 29”
Daily Intention Setting: Day 28
January 28 “Today I will stay open instead of assuming I know.” Interesting lesson today . . . David Gandelman defines humility not as minimizing yourself or acting as if you don’t know but “being open, curious, and not jumping to conclusions”. He warns us that, during today’s meditation, we might want to bring somethingContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 28”
Daily Intention Setting: Day 27
January 27 “Today I will listen to understand, not to answer.” I thought this lesson was pretty important, especially in this day and age when it seems that everyone is clamoring to make their mark or get noticed, etc. Everyone seems so ready and willing to talk, or talk over someone else – but whenContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 27”
Daily Intention Setting: Day 26
January 26 “Today I will be honest even if it’s uncomfortable.” I’m not quite sure how to feel about today’s lesson. I’m all for honesty.

Daily Intention Setting: Day 22
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 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 11
January 11 “Today I will meet myself and others with compassion.” Short, sweet, and simple. Be compassionate – to everyone. Kristin Neff reminds us that it’s easy to be kind when everything in your world is rosy. It’s when things are a mess that we have to remind ourselves to have patience and compassion towardContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 11”
