Trust is an act of courage, my coach says.

What if you just trusted that your family loved you?

Holy moly, Halli. Moving mountains. I am terrified and I freaking love it.

You can only have as much compassion for others as you have for yourself.

Laura is such the best friend.

Be nice to my friend Laura.

I love you! I am actually bitten by the same bug but trying to pump myself up. Do you need to chat?

What happened that was good this week? Did you write your letter? Did you wear something adorbs? Did you see a beagle??

Thank the Universe for TUT

There’s nothing so important, Laura, that it can’t be said tomorrow.

You know, if you aren’t sure.

Cool jets,
The Universe

Freaking out

I distinguished that sometimes I feel like I might be mourning the less fulfilling life that I don’t have anymore.

How wacko is that?

Free Time or Me-Time

Magic happens when you receive from others. I self-identify as a giver and a feeder. Why is it we have to be all-or-nothing? Transitioning into receive-mode is very, very challenging. And the last person I ever receive from is — you guessed it — myself.

I had a marvelous weekend full of inspiring conversations with friends and somehow it all circled back to what I read this morning in There Is Nothing Wrong With You, a hug of a book by the infinite Cheri Huber:

I’m experimenting with integrity and love, and my own relationship with my self. So I’m thinking about how I spend my free time. I know, I know, life coaches are always talking about being more productive. Identifying self-sabotage.

It’s useful stuff and it’s awesome for getting things done. But as an overscheduler, I have to ask the question of myself: with what am I filling my time?

And guess what. I’m shifting from having “free time” that I populate with activities and busy-ness into “me time” (nice, right???) and OHHHH, THE GUILT! THE GUILT! As a chronic people-pleaser, it is so difficult to decline an invitation. I get wrapped up in the significance of my saying, “No, I have plans.” Especially when the plans are with myself. In this mad scientist laboratory which is my #Lyfe, the results lately have been:

worrying that I am being a bad friend, or being closed off
or just not Doing Enough.
I feel selfish.

But you know? I gotta know myself. I gotta feed. Myself. How else can I feed others?

We’re all in different places on our path to self-discovery and self-love. I often feel like I’m trying to get into a headstand too early into my yoga practice, wobbling on my forearms and trying to hop up, hopefully, without a stable foundation. But I have to trust that, just like Gracy says in yoga practice, where I am is perfect. We are exactly where we need to be. Let’s ground in love.

Christine Sachs posts her stands to Tumblr

{ a WONDERFUL coach } and I’m up so early today that this feels so quiet and lovely, like a prayer, that I had to share it.

Today, my stand is COMPASSION.

Compassion for self, for those close to me, and those I want to bring in, making their orbits around me smaller, connecting everyone,

radiance. charm. connexion. presence. heart.

Have a wonderful, love-filled Saturday, World.

“I went skiing this weekend. I perpetually fell down a mountain for like two hours.

It was way fun. and I didn’t pick the bunny slope, I went for the big one. and it was AWESOME.”

That’s Mike, everybody. The awesomest. Fall hard — and on purpose. Expand. Advance.
