Try this simple mindfulness practice next time you feel trapped by your own thoughts. It’s short and you can use it anytime, anywhere. Instead of destroying the worry, you’ll dissolve it in your focused awareness. Then you can move through your day (or night) feeling calm, capable, and open to what’s next.

This is a prayer for the lost. It's for the people you've loved and lost and still love. It's for you when you're the one who needs to be carried. We all need that kind of help. So here's a prayer. For the love that keeps you from being too far apart. Even on the days when the people you love feel too far away.

When it comes to your healing, this is your path and these are your answers (and questions) to live. Yours entirely. But also yours to share. In other words, you don’t have to go it alone. You were never meant to.

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.

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’re beautifully entangled with everything. With everyone you love. When you feel it, life is better than good. But, of course, it doesn’t always feel like it. Life can be HARD, confusing, chaotic. Here’s a spiritual writing exercise to get you out of your own head and into your heart.

Hope isn’t wishful thinking when you decide to do something about your desire for something new. Even thinking about it is doing something about it — it’s the first step, the watering of the roots. I penned these quotes about staying hopeful because you’re already standing exactly where you need to be to get where you want to go.

We start to feel lost without meaningful engagement in our path, which doesn’t just involve working toward something meaningful but also digging up meaning right in the middle of the journey. If you honor where you are, you bring that sense of appreciation and aliveness into the destination. What a trip that would be!
