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 →

THAT was hard. Another big SOUL RISK taken! Yeste

THAT was hard. Another big SOUL RISK taken! Yesterday, we did a 40 mile ride with lots of elevation, in 40 degree weather and rain on gravel paths! We signed up for the 60 miler of this event, but with the combo of rain, weather, and gravel, we were like: let’s do the 40 instead.
.
There is no way I could have done that by myself. The three of us kept each other going - sometimes swearing, sometimes encouraging, sometimes quiet, and sometimes laughing.
.
This experience reminds me, once again, that we sure do need each other, friends! Whatever soul risk we want to take, it is so much more doable with people who love you by your side.
.
Community is the key that is going to move us forward - I did dusky and collectively - power “with” vs power “over,” and “connection/community” vs “going at it alone.”
.
Simply put, Mother Teresa says it: “We belong to each other.”
.
I am learning to take the soul risk to ask others to be alongside me - like with my Kickstarter, like going on physically tough adventures.
.
I imagine you, too, have a soul risk on your heart that you have been called to take. Reach out to others! People want to help you! People want to be alongside you. People want to see you succeed. People want to join you.
.
I’m embolden to reach out, too, and remember this as well!
.
Tell me: what soul risk are you called to take right now?
.
I’d love to hear and support you!
.
“May I have the courage today
To live the life that I would love,
To postpone my dream no longer
But do at last what I came here for
And waste my heart on fear no more.”
~ John O'Donohue

Blessings,
Lisa

💗 Check our my most recent blog post, in case you missed it, for encouraging you to have the courage - the soul courage - to face your fear and take a soul risk by sharing my fear of failure and rejection. (There is a download at the end of the post for a poetic wallpaper for you to enjoy - free)
.
The Kickstarter for my new book, Your Light is Rising, is still happening. You can contribute and get your own copy of the book and enjoy the soul medicine of the poetry and practices in it.

Each time I turn around, there is another reader contributing to the Kickstarter campaign. I really feel the love. Thank you, everyone. It’s a deep quiet kind of joy that’s wrapped in vulnerability and humility to bring out into world a creative endeavor you have been working on for three years, and to have people respond with such abundant support.
.
It reminds me how people WANT to support one another.
.
It reminds me how we can’t do this alone - this being life or your dream or your creative idea.
.
Please, please, please - whatever it is that you dream, put it out into the world. You’ll never be fully “ready.” Let yourself be loved. Let yourself be supported. You are worth it. And the world needs your light.
.
It’s so easy for me to say that to you. It’s harder for me to see it and do it for myself. I am learning.
.
That’s what this book is all about: kindling your Soul Courage for you to shine. I’m with you. And I mean it.
