I used to think things outside of me determined how connected I was to myself.
.
Now I know that the only thing that needs to change for me to feel connected is my thoughts and emotions.
.
Joe doesnt have to change, other people dont have to change, my circumstances dont have to change, the world doesnt have to change... such an amazing self-gift! 💝
.
It takes practice but its so freeing!

What if the only person who gets to define you is you?
.
How will you choose to define yourself?📔🖊️

One of my favorite practices is doodling the perfectly imperfect me.
.
What shes thinking, feeling, doing.
.
Accepting her exactly as she is TODAY. 🥰
.
Knowing that growth and expansion is icing on the cake of life, not NECESSARY to be enough, worthy, acceptable, loved. Right Now.
.
Repeat after me.
.
*deep breath*
.
This is me.
.
❤️

This life is mine alone. So I have stopped asking people for directions to places theyve never been. ~ Glennon Doyle

One of the best things that ever happened is when I was going through a tough time coming back from divorce court...

Feeling so much uncertainty, anxiety and fear.

I heard myself say No one is coming to save you.

Youre going to have to be your own hero.

We can all be our own hero when we look inside, use emotions as indicators and trust ourselves.

Not easy but SOOO worth it.

Put your cape on and trust yourself. 🥰

Creativity is an incredible place to practice:

🎨 loving what is
🎨 being brave enough to make a mark on a blank page
🎨 slowing down to be present
🎨 finding joy in simple things

Growth is so fun and yet is so uncomfortable at the same time. 🥰 😱
.
That’s the beauty of being human.
.
You can choose who you want to be and who you want to become.
.
One thing is sure when you’re reaching for new dreams and goals …
.
What got you here, won’t get you there.
.
This morning I woke up feeling resentment.
.
I took it to the page and turned it into commitment.

Woke up at 2:30am to arrive at Chimney Rock National Monument for a beautiful 4:30am Summer Solstice guided tour. (I’m a morning person, Joe isn’t - love him!)
.
It required all my bravery since I’m afraid of heights. 😳😂
.
In the toughest moments, I stayed focused on each little baby step and coaching myself through it. 🦶⛰
.
I’ll be using that upward climb to remind myself I can do hard things and to stay focused when things do get hard.🤓
.
The sunrise was incredible for our small group. 🙏🏼🥰😍☀️
.
On the climb, I thought about things I’m ready to let go of in myself. 💝

Wildflowers of Colorado. 🌸🌻
.
Tomorrow we are waking up well before sunrise to go to an ancient Puebloan site to watch the sunrise of the summer solstice. ☀️
.
Today I’ll be journaling about things / layers I’m ready to let go of, things to notice & celebrate and who I want to try to be moving forward.

Love this original unicorn art painted by Sandy Rakowitz @onehearthealingcenter 🖌🎨
.
It will take a very special place in my office or art studio. 🥰
.
Link in bio to Sandy’s One Heart Art. 💝

“Unicorns are often described as symbols of freedom, magic, purity, innocence and healing.
.
In the modern world, unicorns often also represent positivity, joy, hope, pride and diversity.” (From UnicornYard.com)
