“Inspiration.. move me brightly”
Mantra for being present:
“I have all of the time in the world, to be completely present, in all I do, throughout my entire day”

Guest House
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

Lean In
Even though there was a guy on my back ready to push me out of the plane, I had to be the one to do the ol’ tuck and roll.
Literally, I had to friggin lean in. Lean into the open skies at 13,000 feet with the canyons of Moab down below me.
In life when I lean into the things that scare me, beautiful things come out on the other side.
Let’s learn how to lean the fucc in to what lights us up.

Presence
“When walking walk, when eating eat.” When I was down the shore with my Aunt, her Sister and my Grandmother this Summer, I was able to feel completely present. I will never forget this trip and the lesson of presence that I learned. Everything was truly able to be put to be put aside and for the first time in a very long time I was able to be alive in the present moment. The sunrises and sunsets are gifts from above. A true painted piece of beauty for the eye to see to greet us as the day rolls in and to kiss us goodnight as the day rolls out. Giving thanks always. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Breathe in… inhale from your root to your crown, imagine the peak of the wave rise. Pause… as the wave peaks, feel the circulation of the breath beneath your skin. Exhale your breath evenly out to shore.

Ski
The air was thin, the skies were blue, the air was crisp, the runs were long…
Feet planted into the earth. Carving sweet love. One with the mountain. Serene silence of the blanketed land. This must be Heaven.
