I actually posted this last year; when it was presented in today's "FB Memories," I had to refresh it and repost it. We benefit checking in, on and with ourselves regularly ~ doing so supports our evolution and can help us avoid stagnation and making the same decisions by rote vs. contemplative thought.

Here it is; I hope you'll really read it for yourSelf.

Life isn't shaping-up the way you envisioned?🤔

Things seem to be heading a bit more "left" than right?

Maybe the choices and decisions, even the goals and aspirations, you may have previously set or embraced had/have a season which has passed.

Possibly those choices and decisions were perfect at the time, but we all know, the times change, and so do we; we evolve.

It doesn't necessarily have to mean it was a "bad" decision, so don't spin your wheels beating up on yourself, or waste more of your precious time and energy justifying a prior choice or attempting to force a fit.

I'm not suggesting you quit; not at all.

I am offering a suggestion for your consideration:

- Extending Grace to your Self, simply step back.
- Breathe your way into a calm mind, filled with Self-compassion.

Once there:
- Challenge Your Prior Choices and Decisions
-- Ask yourself, "Would you make the same ones?"

Since this is between You and You (and hopefully you're on Your side and absent of excessive ego or a "forceful" determination to be right) lay the unkind, self-judgmental thoughts aside and be totally honest with You.

Maybe you answered, "No." If so, maybe now's the time to revisit the original goal/vision. If it now seems, "dead wrong," do what you need to do.

Quite possibly you answered: "Yes, but I lost sight and could have tweaked my direction along the way."

If so, ask: What adjustments can I make to put things back on the right track? Then be about the business of doing just that. Use no energy covering anything up, justifying, denying; use all your energy and focus to do whatever you identified as helpful in getting things back on track.

We have permission to change our minds, and a responsibility to our current and future selves, to course correct when needed.

There are "Seasons" to life, you have permission, and a responsibility to pivot, change, adapt, adjust, recalibrate, recall, reclaim and reset as needed.

Do what you need to keep growing, evolving and bringing in more love, joy, inner-peace, calm and Soul-satisfaction.

In case you feel you need one, here's your undated "Permission Slip," it is reusable - no limit. 😉

Welcoming Better,
🍂🍁🍂🧡

Clearing a space, creating a bit of order externally as a gateway to calming the mind? 🤔

Call in peace, quiet, calm and joy ~ they're great companion guides. Rolling with any combination of them will support a more restorative day.

Maybe give it a try, it couldn't hurt. 💛

Enjoy This Life!

Treat yourself to some quiet time.

Are you, like many, a little uncomfortable with the idea of the "thoughts and feelings" that the quiet may present? That soft resistance is, more often than not, a clear indicator that you "need" the quiet.

The resistance to quiet time with our "self" is often the pull to stay the same, even when we're not satisfied with where we are, or how things/an aspect of our life is. Familiarity isn't synonymous with "the best," it is simply what we've known and too often, simply what we've settled for.

Don't be afraid of or turn away from "Better." You know you want it, and I know (even if you can't yet accept it) "Better" is looking for you to step to it and claim it. Is it work? Hell yes but so is maintaining an unsatisfying life, which is akin to Existing vs. Living.

Step away from the noise. Don't just "try to dial it back."

Step Away from the Noisy World and the gravitational pull of the collective consciousness, which tends to be loud, ever present and counterproductive to self-awareness, growth, joy, pleasure and a life well-lived.

Please don't give up just because the noise gets louder, which you can expect (know) it will as soon as you head towards a healthier, saner path. In fact, when considering a shift away from the noise, and even your smallest step toward greater inner-peace, consider this your "heads-up" to expect the noisy world to become even louder, expect the pull to stay the same to feel stronger and be prepared for some people within you sphere to be less than supportive of your efforts. You may be more desirous of "Better" than some in your circle. Don't be stopped, be the example.

Step away anyway! You deserve it, and you likely already know you need "something" to be different, for things to be better.

Some things must change to clear/open space for "Better." Maybe you just haven't made space in your life for a "better life experience." We do that for a range of reasons - that's another post for another day, but we'll get to it.

CALL TO ACTION:
Give yourself quiet time and peace-filled space to simply "be" with You.

Thirty-minutes outside in a peace-filled, natural, quiet space can be incredibly restorative and support compassionate, gentle introspection and a reset to our nervous system. It can be one of the best, natural ways to ease anxiety.

Consider Googling "Parks near me with a lake or waterfall" -- then pick one, take a walk or drive to it, kick back and breathe. You'll be amazed at the messages and insights your Quiet Mind will present.

Do it for you. The better, more satisfying life calling us from within has waited long enough. Don't you think so too? 🤔

Baby steps with self-love, self-compassion and the gentleness we may not always extend to ourselves will be great supporters of our efforts.

Quiet calmness is calling and "Better" has waited long enough.

Though happy to be here to welcome September, I am in no rush for the seasonal change that will likely happen later this month.

As we welcome September, I'll be making the most of each day, basking in the warmer weather and enjoying the longer days.

Won't you please join me?

Be Grateful. Be Mindful. Be Well.

Rain or sunshine 🌞

Traveling ✈️ 🚗 or relaxing at home 🏡

Include some restorative moments ~ maybe even a daytime nap (or two) 😴

However you decide to do it, I hope you'll have yourself a fantastic weekend!

Be Well,

Today's a great day to:

- Feed your mind thoughts, messages, words and music that uplift you and squash the loud, noisy distractions of the world.

- Feed your body food that nourishes it and let's it know you appreciate all that it has carried you through. No matter its current state of health, discomfort or recovery, it has brought you to "now."

- Do something just for the fun of.

- Indulge in a "guilty pleasure."

- Connect with someone who has been on your mind. Someone has to be first; why not you?😉

- Give your mind, heart, Spirit and Soul space for the "pause," you know it has been asking you for. Don't wait for the long vacation - today's the day you know you have. Restoration awaits - seize the moment.

Let's all continue, begin or resume being consistently intentional about taking exceptional care of our Whole Selves.

* Be Aware
* Be Grateful
* Be Intentional

And,

Be Well,
💫

I encourage us to welcome July and Summer 2026 with much enthusiasm and gratitude, along with an abundance of joy.

Like the first six months of this year (and all the year's gone by), July 2026 and this summer will be gone before we know it.

There'll be no need looking for them or wishing we'd made better use of them; they will be gone.

Fun, relaxation, breathing space and restorative activities are so important ~ they are critical to every aspect of our health and well-being. Allow me to encourage you to schedule the time if you need to; scheduled or spontaneous or the beautiful mix of both, be intentional about having time to enjoy this life.

Forever Grateful,
✨
