Live Lightly

  Mae Pearl sent me happy mail this week!  The path to finding truth   is to pass through the cycles of life with Wonder and a sense of Exploration. Tao Porchon-Lynch Happy Monday! Are you coming to the My One Word Workshop on Saturday, November 9th? Click this link to register ! What do you think of when you hear ‘live lightly’ ? Often I think ‘reduce your environmental footprint’, ‘be kind to the earth’ or live so you leave a legacy for your children. Today, I’d like to consider the concept of living lightly as keeping a buoyant incandescent glimmer going through your day.  Live as if a small flame of happy expectation is kindled inside of you.  Some call it hope, some positivity.  We can choose this feeling and build on it.  This is the foundation of living lightly. Moving through life with a sense of wonder and exploration is the path of learning and growth.  Our eyes are open to discover and embrace truth.  It’s foundatio...

Durm and Strang! Change again?!?!

  So, we had a wedding last weekend.  Seth and Chloe tied the knot. Did you hear Queen’s rendition of “Another One Bites the Dust” blaring through Honey Grove? That was wedding #8 of 9 for us, and I’ve sung it at every one. I am very, very grateful for all who worked so hard to make it a memorable and sacred experience. Truly, we are blessed.  (Only one more wedding to go….) Just as quickly as wedding #8 was complete, the seasons turned.  My thoughts shifted forward, the weather cooled, and rain came in after a summer of drought.    The sunrise is later; the darkness comes earlier.    No longer do we languish in 9 pm sunsets.    What a stark contrast! I love it, but not everyone does. Just as summer turns into fall, we can choose to accept, enjoy, and even embrace our new season  and the new opportunities presented to us.  Or not.    Change can be very unwelcome. Often, it will feel like our plans have been ...

The Promise and Power of Feeling Blessed. A Practice, Not a Permanent.

  #Blessed This October, we are talking about #blessed.    On good days, this is delightful… other days, I want to burn the hashtag.    However, in our 50/50 way, I’m feeling all the feels and working on it.  When you actively seek out the experience of feeling blessed, you are creating a distinct energy.    That energy and emotion, also known as gratitude, is powerful and activating.    It turns on other energies in a domino effect.    Abundance will soon follow.  Gratitude is not just a feeling, it’s a transformation. It invites the vibration of light, a feeling you can almost immediately sense.    Light and Truth are kindred sisters; when you meet them, life looks and feels better.    Their close cousin, Hope, is always within reach, ready to guide you through the journey of transformation. I’ve been around for a while now (not as long as I plan to be) and have experienced both joy and sorrow.  ...

Creating a Perfect Day

  Years ago, my favorite movie was Hillary Duff in ‘The Perfect Man’.  A cute rom-com, it had beautiful actors, beautiful scenery, and beautiful music.  When I was sad or stressed or overloaded, I could go to that movie, get swallowed up, and create my own, personal illusion of a perfect day.   Was my day really perfect? No, but I usually felt better.    But, this is real life.  And this is one of those times when real life is better than the movies.  My friend, you can create a perfect day for yourself.  No rom-com needed.   Let’s begin at the beginning with  how to begin the perfect day,  and we’ll go from there in future blogs.   Neuroscience has shown that the first wakeful 10 minutes of the day are powerful.  The way your brain wakes up in those 10 minutes makes all the difference.   Remembering that in CMH Coaching,  CMH stands for Compassion, Mindfulness and Hope. I am going to show you how to create ...
