Too often we don't enjoy the good things when they come. We don't make time to savor the treats in our lives. In this blogcast, I read my latest blog where I notice how the horses savor the treats when they come, and think about how we need to learn from their example. How are you bringing joy into your life today?
If you're dealing with a #ChronicIllness, #Disability, #FoodAllergy, #Dysphoria or anything that makes you feel like your body isn't "good" or working as designed, then it's hard to see your body as sacred.

The responsibility is on community leaders, on groups, and on each individual community member to look around them and say "Who isn't at this table? Who isn't giving their views and who are we excluding?"

If you're neurodivergent and queer you might feel the grief of being separated from your community this pride. This episode discusses why that may happen, how neurodivergent grief cannot be separated from queer grief, and how you can begin to move forward and journey with grief, rather than ignoring it. You're also invited to join my neurodivergent grief circles.
In this episode I examine the idea that spirituality is completely divorced from meditation and mindfulness as they're often used today, and talk about how bhakti can help us create radical acceptance and radical self-love with the belief that we are worthy of care. I also discuss what nervous system regulation means to me, and how all of this is combined.
In this blogcast I listen to the sacred herd in how they deal with rain and use that to find the one question we can ask in our own lives for when the "rain" falls.
The problem is too many people think they're meditating wrong when they can't quiet the mind. So in this short blog, I discuss why those "returning to the practice" moments are really the heart of meditation and why if you're doing this, you're meditating exactly right.

This week's horse wisdom has me turning to the sacred herd to learn how to trust myself. Horses don't question whether they do the right thing. They do what they feel they need to do for survival. They obey herd dynamics, but most of all they live in the now and learn from what they do. When we look to horses, or trust in something larger than ourselves, literally in this case, we can see the patterns in nature and know that we, too, can trust our own actions.

There are times, like Suri in Wakanda Forever, when you want to burn it all down. Anger is a very human response to unimaginable pain, grief, and loss. I talk about how to keep from gaslighting yourself, how to keep others from gaslighting you about your anger, and how to keep it from consuming you.
This week I'm asking the question why be authentic right now? With everything that's happening it's safer to hide. But the truth is the world needs you, the real you, more than ever right now, and it's time to let your light shine.
