"Colette is a kindred spirit. I came away feeling like my life is more of a painting or tapestry than a mess. She pointed out that we have to continue to surrender our problems to God, not just once, but many times." - A.J. https://t.co/mytEt2eINf

As we begin to feel autumn in the air, with the golden hue of the light, the smell of cool air, and the variety of apples filling the farmer’s markets, we sense change and transition. https://t.co/ScYS2d7AqK

Sometimes we find ourselves holding on to something we know we need to let go of. And sometimes, we find that even though we have done a lot of healing around something, there is still more to let go, forgive, and release. https://t.co/XfAWIADAMJ
Cultivating the Heart of Compassion - There are so many moments in which we can be a compassionate presence to another person. If we reflect upon even a day in our lives, we will realize this.

Sacred Practice: Permission - It doesn’t sound like a very spiritual word, but I’ve come to realize it’s what allows us to say YES. We can give ourselves permission to listen to our desires, to fulfill our longings, & to care for our needs.

"To create is a way of loving. If I don’t love the work I do, it is meaningless, it is just a way of making money. And money doesn’t have anything to do with love.' – Ole Jakob Nielsen

"In the end we discover that to love and let go can be the same thing." — Jack Kornfield When I read this quote, I felt the invitation to heal more, and the way into that healing was through love. https://t.co/inbJY49FaE #loveandletgo#lettinggo#relationships#loving
The other day, I had a very inspiring conversation with a someone about self care, and we both agreed that it has to go beyond the daily checklist. How do we really nourish ourselves?
