{Cultivating Joy} April 2024. You are Brighter than the Sun โ๏ธ

Dear Beautiful Reader! Hello, lovely irreplaceable human being! How are you? What is true for you these days? When you breathe in, may you remember the love that is oxygen that the universe has given you. And may your pause to see all the love and beauty you are creating while doing everything, everywhere, all at once. Because You, dear friend, are a gift. May you take the time to be proud of all you are and give. ๐๐ Me? I've been busy with all the mom and business owner things. Took spring break off. Had a miraculous keynote that I wasn't even nervous for. About a week later had one large meltdown/learning moment in my business. Taking one step, one breath at a time. Trying to come back to what's important to me: living by my values and through my strengths. WHICH IS SO HARD WHEN YOU'RE BUSY. So, speaking of being buried in life... Flash Story: My Not-So-Amazing Career ProjectI stared at my homework, I couldn't believe it. I'd been doing so well. The question hit my stomach like a bag of bricks, my hands shook, paused above the keyboard. I could feel tears crowding the sides of my eyes. My thoughts swirled down the drain. How could this be harder than where I was three months ago, laid off the day before my honeymoon, sitting on the curb of my employer with a box next to me, while the whole staff was inside eating chicken shawarma? Homework Title: Name as many positive qualities and strengths about yourself as you can.I could not think of a single one. My feet are perfect. Nope, that's N/A. Multi-tasker? Is that even a quality? I don't even like multi-tasking. I read the fine print at the bottom. If you can't think of several, ask three friends or family members to answer. Three Days LaterWith nerves that made me use the bathroom multiple times before, I sent the requests. One Week LaterWith nerves that made me use the bathroom multiple times before and kept my head screaming What if they couldn't think of any? What if they all just said 'Heidi is nice?' with clammy hands, I opened the first of three emails. Brilliant Vivacious Survivor Joy Invite: Amazing Reflection ๐This month, My Joy Invite for you is to witness your brilliance under all the layers of you. Try one of these!

Dear divine Reader, Hello, beautiful soul. How are you? How is life? How are you feeling? Over the past two weeks, we've had a snowstorm, temps in the 70s, and a dry thunderstorm. My kids asked what was going on. I said that Mother Nature is going through a lot. (actually, I said hot flashes ;) I believe we've unknowingly stretched her thin, like butter scraped over too much bread. And I'm right there with her. I also have spent decades being stretched too thin. And I didn't even know it,...
