Beautiful Friday Everyone :) I know that when I have a solid goal and clear steps to get there, I can stay the course. I can commit, show up, and push through until I reach it—no matter what. A timeline isn’t always necessary, but when I have one, it makes the path even easier. Right now, though, this space I’m in feels floaty. No real set tasks. No concrete finish line. I study books, watch videos, and learn from people who live the life I aspire to. They’ve given me plenty of “roads to the promised land.” Yet here I am—year after year—back at the drawing board, still without a rudder. And the truth is, I do have what it takes. I have the ability. I have the drive. I have the stamina. What I don’t always have is clarity on how to get there. Sometimes I remind myself: it’s okay not to know. Maybe there is no problem—unless I decide there is. So today, I choose not to come from a place of “problem.” Instead, I’ll be satisfied and grateful for where I am. I’ll keep working toward my big dreams. I’ll keep learning, growing, and doing what’s in front of me. And when I feel called, I’ll step out of my comfort zone and take new chances. The Universe knows what I need—and it provides. The same is true for my wants, if I’m willing to allow it. Buddhism is a tradition of both thought and action, and its guiding principles speak deeply to me:
Do I follow these because I call myself a Buddhist? No. I follow them because I am a human being—and this is simply a good way of being. It takes time to refine our view of the world, purify our intentions, shape our speech so it causes no harm, act without attachment to outcomes, build integrity into how we make a living, balance effort with rest, be present in the here and now, and give our full attention to whatever—or whoever—is in front of us. Am I perfect? Nope. The goal is a rich and satisfying life. Most of that comes when I let go of opinions, sit in stillness, appreciate the abundance around me, and love my fellow humans. Much love, |

Anyone scared of public speaking? I used to be terrified of being seen, vulnerable, or put on the spot. Sweating, shaking, and shit, like I’d just run a marathon. People staring at me like, what is wrong with you? 😂 Interviews were a nightmare. The minute I sat down, it was like one of those Men in Black wands got flashed in front of my eyes and my memory was completely wiped. They’d introduce themselves, and I’d just slowly stand up and walk out the door because I’d forgotten my name. LOL....

On these types of days, I must take time out for gratitude. I am thankful for my license. I can drive to the coffee shop and get a coffee. I get to listen to the kids working and laughing about some dumb kid things, lol. I have clean water and clothes. I am not locked up or being tortured. I can read, write, see, walk, talk, touch, feel, taste, and experience life today. I know the sun is shining so bright behind the clouds. Thank you, sun ☀️ Now, onward…. I like cake. I like to have my cake...
