It is so funny how this EVERY DAY bring all our “NOOOOOOO’s!!!” to the surface. Just be kind to yourself every day, give yourself permission every day to BE. Notice how dear you are every day. The gluten thing will take care of itself. xoxox

I am guessing the EVERY DAY thing really is about bring all our thoughts to the surface of our awareness to be loved:) Go ahead and give yourself five minutes Stacey, ask to awaken five minutes early and lay in bed and purposely meditate on how precious you are asking for kindness and grace to light your way in all you do in the day. Love you! xoxo

I had the same panicked thought – “EVERY DAY? Well, good luck with that” and then I thought. Oh Crap.
I never did start meditating because EVERY DAY is hard. Perhaps a paradigm shift is in order. Much like someone who has an addiction needs to have conscious thought about each minute/hour/day to stop doing something, I need to make a conscious thought to DO something. Even now I think when am I going to do that. Work 8-5, school at night and on most of the weekend, choir practice on Wednesday, church on Sunday, advocacy work, ahhhhhhh. It’s exhausting.
Just stop it, stoopid brain. I can do five minutes of meditating in the morning. It might even make my life better. Huh.
Thanks for sharing!!!!

I always seem to have lists, notes, and piles of papers to “handle.” Yet, I became aware that I can do some of the top things, priorities or deadline things, and leave the rest for the next day, instead of feeling compelled to “do it all” and have a clean desk. HA! (That’ll be the day….)
So I’ve been finding that I can “make room” for MYSELF by parsing the to-do list in BALANCE with other things that nurture and rest my spirit.
I’m getting better and better at that.
Plus, we have someone interested in buying our house, as of the last day of the real estate agent’s contract with us. Double-HA! At the very last second, just when we felt sure we were not selling & moving, we find out that the last people to look at our house is contacting their mortgage company to see if they can get the mortgage to buy our house. Soooo, we (hubby & I) are endeavoring to STAY PRESENT, not knowing …. Every day, one at a time, doing what is on our plate for this day only… gulp!!! ~SMILE~ Basking in the gratitude and blessings of THIS DAY!

Yikes EVERYDAY!! The train of thought you express in today’s blog is like you are inside my head…how timely is this topic? I’m wrestling with the prospect of letting go of Wheat and gluten, everyday! So I shall look forward to your guidance and experience as you explore this topic. Much love and hugs to you xoxo

I look at everyday and think.. “but wait, where’s the down time”. Can one commit to having coffee every day? I’m fairly certain that’s not the idea. I’ll let you know what HS calls me to do this month every day.
