A reminder for your heart today.... May you move

A reminder for your heart today....

May you move and live from the place of your belovedness.

In week 2 of our series, join me and prayerfully consider taking a few moments for this breath prayer (borrowed from Brennan Manning’s book!)

~Closing your eyes, upturning your palms… pray these words.

~ Let your breath guide you and don't make it anything more than that; trust it's enough.

* For a quick reflection and ways to go deeper, hop over to my bio for this week’s newsletter.

~ May you know how fully and tenderly you are loved by Abba :) Blessings my friends!

In a world where our minds are overwhelmed by info

In a world where our minds are overwhelmed by information and thoughts ~ we can easily become disconnected from our hearts and forget.

We can forget that we are furiously loved by God.

As Spring begins, I feel a longing for new growth, new life in me. 🌱

We just finished a 10-week yoga series, & to celeb

We just finished a 10-week yoga series, & to celebrate classes are FREE THIS WEEK! 🎉

I want to thank YOU - the community that has journeyed & yoga’d with me over the last year. It’s surreal to think that this time a year ago, I taught my FIRST zoom class. 👩‍💻 It was Good Friday, and I assumed virtual yoga would be a short-term solution and we’d all be back together in weeks.
 
But like many of my assumptions last year, I was wrong. Zooming is now a verb- a way of work and life - and apparently now yoga too! Ha! 🧘‍♀️
 
But in all seriousness, I learned that shared virtual space is still shared space. In a year that was overshadowed by disconnection ~ our yoga time became a time of connection & peace. It was a gift to connect to this community, myself & God on our mats. His Spirit was ever-present and I’m ever-grateful. 🙏💚

Will you join me? (LINK IN BIO)

We completed Guidepost #10 - and it felt like the

We completed Guidepost #10 - and it felt like the perfect finale to our series...and our family!

By surprise ~ we ended up getting a puppy while in CA for Spring break! 🐶 Our sweet Bodega is a Moyen Poodle…and I tell you what, she’s had us laughing & dancing and we even made up a song in her honor!

Bodega has reconnected us to our child-like joy! I think as kids it’s natural to sing, dance and laugh…and we flourish in the self-expression without giving a second thought to anything but our own hearts.

🙈 But somewhere along the way we allow self expression to take a backseat to self-protection after we’ve been laughed at or embarrassed….and realize managing self-perception is necessary for survival. (Or so it seems).

But full self expression and vulnerability bring healing and connections- and Brene Brown found when we “don’t give ourselves permission to be free, we rarely tolerate freedom in others.” 🌟

We are all in this together. 💜

Join me in freeing your heart a little and lean into your childlike vulnerability🐶
- Try dancing in the car, laughing out loud or singing in the shower?
- May your heart open and remember that God “rejoices over you with gladness” as an adoring parent over a child.

To celebrate - join for free yoga next! (Link in bio!)

What’s the work that makes you come alive? That brings your days meaning?

I’m excited to catch up with the last two Guideposts of our yoga series! #9 was a goody! (#10 coming tomorrow!)

I love how Scripture reminds us that our meaningful work originates in God ~ and in doing it, we show who He is; both to ourselves and the world.

It’s no wonder Brené Brown found that “sharing our gifts and talents with the world is the most powerful source of connection with God.”

❓ But if our work can connect us to God, why do we hesitate?

What is holding you back from finding and using your gifts this week? Is it self-doubt? Is it the “supposed tos”? …You’re supposed to prove, to please or be perfect? Is fear undermining your faith?

Maybe take a few breaths and notice what’s causing you to hesitate…exhale and let it go.

Breathe in the love of God. Let it affirm and strengthen you. Remember, God’s Spirit is behind your gifts. May using them bring you alive to God and benefit HIs world 🌎 💚

What if in trying to outrun what we don't want to

What if in trying to outrun what we don't want to face, we miss the chance to heal and rest?

God offers us stillness as space of healing and rest in Him. A chance for us to perceive His Presence and receive His Perspective.

I've struggled with stillness because I'm a mover and doer- and it has a negative connotation in our world. However what feels counterintuitive has been life-changing, in the best way.

Come read along for some ideas and try it with me! Your mat or a meditation is a great place to start. (Link in bio!)🧘‍♀️🤍

“Anxiety is extremely contagious…but so is cal

“Anxiety is extremely contagious…but so is calm.” (Harriet Lerner)

How about practicing some calm with me, and see it’s saving grace. 🤍

Set a timer for 2 minutes, find a comfortable seat, close your eyes and try repeating this prayer as you breathe.

With each exhale, feel your body relax into the truth that you are held by a God who loves you fiercely.

Try letting go of worry and anxiety and trust the flow of God’s grace to fill your lungs & carry you forward.

I practice this breath prayer almost daily whenever I feel anxiety tightening my chest. Waiting for God instead of depending on me - saves me every time. Maybe it will for you too☺️

Let’s cultivate some calm together for Guidepost #8 in our yoga series on ZOOM - Join us TUESDAY 3/9 ~ 6a-635a (link in bio!)

I’m sorry I have to cancel this week! 😢 But I

I’m sorry I have to cancel this week! 😢 But I pray it gives you the chance for a little extra sleep 😴 💕 And maybe you can be intentional about some play time!

I loved how last week’s guidepost encouraged us to think of what conditions are in place when life is good. Brené Brown calls this her “joy and meaning list.” She wrote one with her family because it helps her LIVE the dream instead of GET LOST in chasing it.

What’s on your list!? Mine includes down-time, creative time, outside time, naps, singing to music in the car, dance parties in the kitchen, drawing with the kiddos, telling funny stories, dinners around the table, walks, laughing and time to be with people I love. Oh and of course good coffee and yoga!

Read along for some more ideas (link to latest blog in bio!)

Join us next week for guidepost #8: Cultivating calm & stillness.

WHEN: Tuesdays 6a-635a
WHERE: ZOOM (Sign up in bio, $8 drop-in)

I’d love to flow with you 3/9 🧘‍♀️
