Grief isn’t hard. It’s impossible. Inevitable. Terrible. The consequence of love, and proof that you’ve lived… really lived. If you’ve ever survived an impossible thing, you, my friend, are brave. Truly. You are.

In a nutshell, you deserve to hear this… you NEED to know it: You’re amazing because of how you carry on. It’s true. So let me tell you the best way I know how. In words. (Hint: there’s a free “something” for you in this post…)

You know when you see signs that you KNOW are meant for you? You see hearts everywhere, in the clouds and leaves, on street signs, or certain animals or words keep showing up. You feel… seen, heard somehow. If you haven’t seen one in a while, let this be your sign that you're ready to receive whatever it is you need.

Ever want to burn every bridge you’ve ever built so you can start all over again? Or, even one will do? You need to change. You can feel it in your bones that staying the same isn’t an option anymore. If you feel it, you’re in the right place! Rock bottom, sick and tired — it’s sacred ground. Here's where you rebuild.

When you appreciate the process of whatever you’re striving for, you create a better outcome for yourself. Because the outcome is a result of how you get there. And the energy you feed into the process (joy vs. stress) has a say in how you feel when you get to its end. Feelings first, then journey, then destination.

Of course you don’t need reminders to breathe — you do it without even thinking! How about inspired breathing that makes you feel like you’re connected to everything, the present moment a piece of eternity that so loves having you here? Sounds better. Feels the best. It’ll make your day... maybe, your life.

Dearest you. I know two things about you. 1: You want to make the world a kinder place (otherwise, you wouldn't be here). 2: You're creative (it's in your DNA, or bones, or something). If you're combining those two things, I have something for you: my business manifesto and a free resource to help you create your own.

Ever decided that, instead of complaining about the fleeting nature of happiness, you're going to relish those 8-10 seconds? You're gonna soak up all that short time has to give you? Maybe even make it last a fraction of a second longer? It's one way to heal. One of the most long-lasting ways, I think.

You are NOT alone. It’s important that you know this — like, know it in your bones and with every ounce of your humanness. You’re connected in more ways than can be counted. All the good ways. All the not-feeling-so-hot ways too (oh, especially those!). Let me tell you about the bridge between you and me.

You don’t have to feel like you’ve accomplished enough or are worthy of all the affection in the universe to love yourself better. You can start right this minute, for no reason. You can try just because it’s something new, and it might yield different results, and different sounds better to you right now.
