Learning to take up space, authentically!
How are you doing? I hope you are well, dear friends. This time…in some ways, is beyond comprehension. And it has led me to an aversion to “should” or “should not”. How should you be feeling? How shouldn’t you be feeling? What? Something dawned on me this week as I sat in prayer and meditation:Continue Reading “A Space to Be as We Are”
My blog is about space: how we take it up and do we take it up in an authentic manner? As we navigate through this very difficult time, we’ve been asked to take up space in a new way: social distancing, elbow bumping, shelter in place…and the list goes on. Our sense of space isContinue Reading “A Space for all Things that Change”
Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant? –Henry David Thoreau I just completed a Masterclass through my Calm app with Tara Brach called “Radical Self-Compassion”. I highly recommend listening to it if you are a paid user. She also has a new book outContinue Reading “A Space for Compassion”
I know, I’m getting ahead of myself…a bit. We haven’t even turned the clocks yet. And it’s still February. And it’s still freezing in the west. And the ground is still covered with patches of ice and snow. And a few days ago, we experienced a Snow Squall in Colorado. The National Weather service definesContinue Reading “A Space for Spring”
This is a poem I wrote a few years ago after seeing a rainbow. I’m so ready for Spring and warmth! But this will have to do while we wait for the changing of the seasons. Enjoy! Glorious moment, when color compliments the seemingly endless sky. Color. Beauty. Grandeur. A rainbow in the sky foretellingContinue Reading “A Space for Rainbows”
I’ve been writing about all kinds of book-related themes this year, including libraries and making space for reading. I’ve made reading a priority again in my life, and I’ve fallen into so many amazing stories, and have been introduced to so many amazing authors! But I haven’t touched upon bookstores, specifically. They really are gloriousContinue Reading “A Space for Bookstores”
Be still and let the world happen. This thought came to me this week as I meditated. I love it! The process of letting go is so very profound. It’s a release. It’s freedom. The world happens and will continue to happen. I can’t do anything about that. But what I can do is toContinue Reading “A Space to Be Still”
I grew up knowing God. For me, She was alive and tangible, dripping with wisdom and grace, and guiding me, always. I remember curling up with Her in peace and waking up with her in joy. As the years have gone by, though, I have found myself turning away from Her in little bits. AContinue Reading “A Space for Her”
Best-laid plans…time to let all that go. I’m chuckling as I write this post. This past weekend was my birthday weekend. Today is my actual day of birth, but my family had planned a lovely weekend of festivities. And yet… Age is a funny thing. For me, it has been to temper my edges aContinue Reading “A Space for What Is”
Today, I was thinking small. And by that I mean finding that thing right in front of me, in my own life, that is wonderful and glorious, small and powerful. Mundane. So, I searched for the cloudless sky and was greeted with dancing sunshine above. I searched for movement, so I stretched towards the songContinue Reading “A Space for the Mundane”
