Sacred Thread
In response to Allison’s Ross post titled Does divinity have a place in modern-day marketing? guess each person finds their source in their own way, whether spiritually, religiously, intuitively, or even scientifically. It ’is a personal choice. The next step is how one evolves with it: how you observe, listen, and take inspiration into your daily life, both as an individual and as an entrepreneur.
Life changes in a Heartbeat
I feel that the sudden turn of events is somehow still reverberating through me on some level. I have come through many challenging times in the past few years and was just getting my life on track and enjoying some greater ease. Now this. Its an emotional rollercoaster and its important for me to return to and maintain my equilibrium.
Failing Forward
Many of us have been conditioned to see setbacks – large or small – as a shameful failure. We make our best efforts wrong. Viewing them from the lens of failing forward means that we see what we have achieved as part of the journey to the desired outcome. This fuels us to keep going in the direction we want to go and not to give up. So here’s to the Success Salsa: one step forward, two steps sideways, and some laughter sprinkled in!
Sacred Rebel
My invitation to you is to put on your big girl or boy pants and face whatever you need to in your inner and outer reality so that you can make the difference in this world that you chose to come and make. Deep inside, a part of you knows this is true and also knows what your sacred rebel role is. Find this part and become besties with it.
Magical Curiosity
In response to Sibylle Stehli’s post, “Curiosity brings simplicity” – I concur. This speaks even more deeply when we approach life as present-moment observers. When we’re not tangled in past narratives, future worries, or current anxieties and the tizz of the present dramas, we allow ourselves to be genuinely curious. We witness. We see through different lens.
A Personal Reflection
While spirituality can be an excellent tool for growth, spiritual bypassing prevents people from dealing with real-world problems by pretending everything is fine when it’s not.
The Law of Forgiveness
The Disappearance of the Universe reminds us of the illusion of life. Whether enjoyed as fact or fiction, it’s definitely something to think about: If our real life is actually a dream…
The Soul Behind the Smile
On the 27 Archetypes site (27archetypes.com), there’s a quiz called Behind the Smile. As I read through the archetypes, I found myself reflecting on the layers within this theme. The soul behind the smile holds untold stories and quiet strength. What goes on behind the smile of an entrepreneur? What lingers in their minds as they navigate their business, moving from moments of uncertainty to near-thriving, only to face challenges again?
The in-between time
Do we talk enough about that space in between trying to do everything and learning to do nothing? That space where we see through the lie that hard work equals success.
Marriage of Love
A few weeks ago I heard this beautiful piano piece. The music flowed like a graceful, swaying dance of tempo, with a sweet and playful rhythm. The sounds of beauty echoing in the notes. What a musical serenade of the heart and for the soul.
I release you
Have you ever watched the movie The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas? I’ve seen it twice. The first time, I wasn’t prepared for what would happen at the end, and I cried. The second time, over a decade later, my daughter wanted to watch it, so I joined her, having forgotten much of the storyline. It moved me deeply all over again. So why bring up this very sad, heart-wrenching story? Well, I want to ask honestly—how many of us still behave like dictators today, or feel that others impose too much on our lives?
Funneling Influence Noise
What are you funneling into your life that shapes, your partnerships and who you are and how you show up in the world?
