Chances are, there’s something worth letting go for the sake of freedom and something new. There always seems to be something. In light of the struggle and what's bound to come after it, here are three simple practices for letting go and moving on — without losing the lessons.

Lining my wall with spiritual books is one way I surround myself with love. That being the case, I’m sharing a small section of my bookshelf with you so you might find something new to inspire you... even if you've already read the book before.

Your relationships can be the greatest source of growth and healing, and they can be platforms for pain. BUT. The more you consciously bring into the relationship what you’d like to see prosper, the more you receive the kind of love you've been hoping for. And the more you receive the kind of love you've been giving.

Trying to be as open to the questions as you are to the answers? That's about the most spiritual thing I can think of. If you're in the mood, here are some “spiritual thoughts” to feed your curiosity and awe for the great gift this whole thing called LIFE is.

Self-compassion can be both a grand gesture of acceptance and a small display of respect. With time, the kindness you show yourself starts to encompass everything and permeate everything, including how you treat others.

The popular phrase you have to feel it to heal it is true. You have to be acutely attentive to those acutely painful feelings if you’re going to move forward. Accepting yourself first, before trying to feel better, is the seed of self-love and self-trust that blooms later on down the line.

You're healing. You're growing. And sometimes that looks a lot like tripping over your own feet. I’m still learning so many things, things like presence, progress, and relationships. Read this if you want to feel like you're right on time in your own "journey." You are.

Cultivating joy is like planting a seed, and writing is your gardening tool. To water those thoughts and dreams you *do* want to grow, answer these journal prompts for joy. You'll feel better, stronger, more connected to what's possible, rooted in what you love.

If you want inspiration... every single day, make a happiness jar! Fill it with quotes, poetry, affirmations, journal prompts, song lyrics, anything else that makes you feel good. All you need is a jar of your own choosing, scraps of paper and a pen. Here's how I use mine, to inspire your own.

If your thoughts feel like enemies, read this. It's a note to self: your self-worth isn't a measurable thing. You can't measure the immeasurable. You're worthy by being here. Simply by being here, as you are. That's no mistake. It took a lot of miracles to get you here.
