  This is a hard one to practice sometimes. Especially as a young person (but let's get serious, as a grown up, too.) Especially if you "didn't mean it". Last night I yelled "at Lillian" during our Full Moon ? candle-lighting. She was so fixated and focused on...

  Those are not my people. Reminder from @glennondoyle ? I recently had someone say to me: "I'm too busy for your B.S. this week, Jess." Aside from being incredibly belittling, hurtful, intense, it's actually ... abusive. If my truth, my vulnerability, my words...

I have been working on turning my #mindfulness class into a journal that can be shared and enjoyed! I am so excited about the progress. It is so very Rainbow which is a reminder about the rainbow after the storm. Life pushed me to dive deeply into #selfcare and...

What are you doing to fill your cup today? We cannot give to others if we have nothing to give. Self care is vital for living wholeheartedly and soulfully and is vital for being able to nurture and nourish your young people. I used to believe I was being selfish for...

What are your Soul-building words? Rachel Macy Stafford from @handsfreerevolution asks this question in her book #onlylovetoday and I have been thinking about it often. I have set the intention to infuse Soul-Building words into everyday conversation with my young...

  Right now... I am hiding in my room because my littles have the Sing soundtrack on full blast, the air conditioner is going full blast, the fridge is making full blast sounds, and they've added the musical instruments and huge drum to the mix.   O.m.g....

I am not OK silencing myself to make other people feel comfortable. It is NOT my job to make other people comfortable. It is my job to speak my TRUTH. ?   Passing the Talking Stick along to anyone that needs this reminder. This permission. Speak Your Truth. Speak...
