I believe that delight is our true nature, compassion heals, and being in community with like-hearted people nourishes the soul. You step into and embody your true power when you turn inward and listen to your heart. More about Lisa →

There comes a time in a woman’s life when her bo There comes a time in a woman’s life
when her body won’t be tamed,
won’t lie down and play good,
won’t be appropriate and nice,
sit and be still
 
when her body wants to.....

Mom, why you gotta go to CrossFit? Can’t we just Mom, why you gotta go to CrossFit? Can’t we just lay on the couch and wait for the UPS guy to come? Well, when you get home, can we go for a walk? 💗 Sherlock
.
Definitely, bud. But first: me at the gym.

.
Part of leading a life you love is having boundaries and putting your care first. First, Loves. We live in a world that will pull us into the abyss and never ending cycle of caring for everyone else and putting us last - or maybe not even on the damn list. I don’t want to live that way. I admit, I still feel guilty (look at those puppy dog eyes!), but I’m over guilt ruling my life and making choices for me.
.
You, too?  Let the guilt be there. AND still do what you gotta do to LOVE yourself. Yes, love your beautiful, messy, complicated, letting-go-of-everyone’s-expectations self.
.
You matter. Love you!  Have a great weekend!

Don’t Wait Don’t wait until you feel like you Don’t Wait

Don’t wait
until you feel like you are
worthy or good enough

to treat yourself with
kindness and compassion

to go for your dreams

to pause working so hard

and stretch and
enjoy a cup of tea
and a quiet moment

to speak to yourself as you would
to your best friend

to touch yourself with gentleness

to wrap yourself in softness

to surround yourself with people
who regard you and love you
as you are

to truly nourish yourself

to expect miracles and
abundance
and deep love in your life.

Don’t wait
until you feel like you are
worthy or good enough for love. 

Just start acting like you are.

Kindling Your Light Practice
Just start acting like you are worthy and you are enough.
______________
I don't want to get to the end of my life and realize that I've been waiting and holding back from living and loving until it feels less risky, until I feel more organized, until I feel more "worthy" to go for my dreams, until my poetry feels "good enough" to share, until I feel feel "worthy" of radical self-love, and until it feels comfortable to put myself out there.  Nope.  I'm not waiting.

So I share this with you today, too.  Maybe you are done with waiting, too. 

I work with people all the time in somatic experiencing psychotherapy and integrative coaching who share with me that they have been waiting -- waiting to feel like they are worthy enough to go for their dreams, to give themselves the love and attention they give to everyone else.  And they are done waiting.

Of course we are!

The voice of our soul says, "Please don't wait, Love."

Honor that voice. 

Your Light is Rising, my second book, is filled with soulful poetry and embodiment practices that support you in choosing YOU, honoring the voice of your soul, and leading a life you deeply love - with compassion, focus, and authenticity. Check it out. 

If you are interested in working 1:1 in integrative coaching, I have three free consult spots open.  Check it out.

Blessings,
Lisa

Naila @thishallowedwilderness wrote about tenderne Naila @thishallowedwilderness wrote about tenderness yesterday. Her poetry and work are exquisite. She reminded me of the power and necessity of tenderness. Years ago I wrote about a “revolution of tenderness.” I’ve screenshot most of the blog post for you. Four years ago, we were selling our house and buying a new one. Brian and I were stressed. Right there in a triggering moment, I noticed the way Brian was looking at me. He was looking at me with tenderness and love. Noticing this, it shifted everything that day.
.
Many years ago when I was living and working El Salvador and just learning Spanish, a woman said to me something like, “Tu tenura es tu belleza y fuerza, Lisa.”
.
Your tenderness is your beauty and your strength.
.
Our tenderness is our beauty and our strength.
.
May today be a day you are tender with yourself. The embodiment practice after my short poem in Your Light is Rising is this: say a dear one’s name with tenderness.
.
Maybe today that’ll be your own self.
.
I’d love to hear: whose name will you say with tenderness today? Drop me a 💗 with their name.
.
Our world could use some tenderness right now.

I had a great hair day this morning so before seei I had a great hair day this morning so before seeing clients today I did the video for the new (free) offering I’m putting together that’s all about healing that soul exhaustion and nourishing your body and soul. I didn’t see the meditation bowl above my head until I had recorded it. I asked my husband, Brian, “Should I redo it?  It’s not perfect.”
.
He was like, “Lis, folks aren’t looking for perfect. They just want who you innately are.”
.
Thanks, Bri! I needed the reminder. Yeah, I guess that’s true. That’s what I look for in people I connect with, too.
.
So, coming in the next few weeks - a perfectly imperfect (with a cute hair day!) sweet offering I’d love to share with you all. Stay tuned!
.
What can you let be “perfectly imperfect” today and show up as YOU?
.
#dailydelightproject Delight is...showing up as authentically.
