The Words Within Us

Why does it feel better when we talk to someone or write our stories? For this morning���s walk, the power of the words within us, and the good that can happen when we release them instead of using the words to keep ourselves stuck.

Please accept my best wishes for a healthy 2023 filled with beauty and creativity!

The Opportunity Express

Yes, set your goals and make your 2023 plans. But for this morning’s walk, let’s talk about leaving space to recognize the opportunities that are so big and amazing that you could not have imagined them let alone plan for them. That’s what I learned from The Polar Express! Merry Christmas!

Your Travel Influence

It’s fun to share photos from exciting destinations, but what really happens when others take in those images? There’s more going on that you know. For this morning’s walk, the deep and glorious resonance of travel, and those who unwittingly are venturing with you.

The Best Ways to Keep in Touch

Often it’s not until we need support that we realize that we haven’t cultivated that support. For this morning’s walk: Build your ark before the storm. The best way to do it is simple. Keep in touch with the people in your circle.

Respecting Your Magic

Have you had a moment in your life when someone, like Hagrid with Harry Potter, recognizes and acknowledges your magic? If so, what did you do after that? For this morning���s walk, in honor of actor Robbie Coltrane, what it means to respect your magic. Shout out to my friend Baeth Davis.

Creating Structure for Beautiful Results

For this morning���s walk, on the campus of Saint John’s University in Collegeville, Minnesota for a visit to the Johanna Kiln, a lesson from the fire that suggests a way of supporting the big things you want to accomplish. By the way, I do know it’s 2022. I have next year on the brain!
