Humble advice: Don’t graduate from being a student of life. Keep your eyes and heart open, curiosity alive because it will keep you alive. Here are some reminders to use every sense you’ve been equipped with to feel everything fully, to appreciate the little things, to live like you mean it.

Living intentionally is about discovery. Discovering yourself and what you value, what matters, and what doesn’t make you feel free. This is why your simple intent is so healing: it allows you to keep what’s important close to your heart and more gracefully release — or move through, rather than avoid — suffering.

Take the time to embrace the sweeping sensations of this season: renewal, inspiration, nostalgia, delight, the bittersweetness of life – seeming to be bottled up in the air. These literary quotes about autumn are the perfect descriptions to satisfy your musing heart.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is not analyze or obsess over the details of “how” and “why” and, instead, let yourself be: nothing more, nothing less. Real rest breathes space into your life so that you can work better, play better, think better, and love better. (You need it.)

This poem about grieving speaks to keeping an open mind and heart. It’s certainly a practice, which means that it’s ongoing (one day could house all the stages of grief) and requires our attention.

Elevating the mundane to the miraculous – or at least the meaningful – is one way of seeing the sacred in everything. “Sacred” is that elevation to the level of divinity, whether you believe in a higher power, the intelligence that drives life, or the miracle of existence.

How to respect the mystery without demanding that it explain itself? If you do, it sort of feels like magic. Here’s a letter I wrote to Inspiration (the energy, the entity) to help you sink into the sweetness of allowing, enjoying the unfolding of a beginning before any concrete ideas show up.
