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 →

. Devotion Great Mother, I surrender any and ever

.
Devotion

Great Mother,
I surrender any
and every version of myself to you –
any plan, any vision, and every hope.
You are all my ideas and dreams.
I am and always have been on this path
of devotion to you.
I am embracing it now with even more fullness.
Thank you for guiding me.
I have had all the experience I have had –
from childhood until now –
in order to be here now.
Take me. Take all of me.
I have always been yours.
My steps are your steps.
My words are your words.
My presence is your presence.
I am here to be love.
I am here to spread love.
I am Love.
I am yours, God.
Beloved Mother, I am yours.
Write through me.
Speak through me.
Love through me.
I am at your feet.

This is a tough one for most of us. As crazy as it

This is a tough one for most of us. As crazy as it sounds, we choose the familiarity of the life we have over the unknown adventures our souls call us to. But we can change that!
.
This week, I did a 35 mile bike ride one morning and then the next day did a ride of hills for 12 miles. It felt wonderful and amazing. And I wasn’t even that tired or sore. It made me realize that I am capable of so much more than I thought I was! Just like going down black diamonds this past winter in my second season of skiing ever! Right now, I’m getting ready to do a 150 mile bike ride with two good buddies of mine. Last year, this seemed impossible to even fathom. Now, I am excited and I’m choosing to go on this adventure that my soul is calling me to.
.
It makes me think about what could happen if we all realize that we are physically, emotionally, spiritually, psychically, etc capable of so much more than we think we are!
.
No, I’m not talking about pushing ourselves in harsh ways. I’m not talking about overriding the wise signals our bodies send us to “stop” and “rest.” I don’t endorse the mainstream culture of harshness, hustle, and toxically pushing ourselves to exhaustion and depletion.
.
I am talking about “listening within” - to your body and your soul - and having the courage to follow what you hear. Sometimes the message is “rest” and sometimes it is “go for it!” The message is alway to LISTEN WITH REGARD. And most often that means taking a risk and realizing you are capable of resting, capable of going for it, capable of love, capable of rising, and capable of shining - in YOUR own way and according to your own soul and body.

Have you noticed this in your own life? I’d love to hear!
.
What freedom when we choose to go on the adventure our soul calls us to! (But we have to let go first).
.
I’ve dedicated July embracing such freedom! You’ll find me offline and outside even more - letting those old ways of thinking fly off me as I fly by!

Blessings,
Lisa

My daisies are in full bloom! Flowers are inspiri

My daisies are in full bloom! Flowers are inspiring in so many ways.

Keep growing toward the light,
keep trusting your brilliance,
keep listening to that Sacred Inner Voice,
keep taking that next bold step to honor the beauty in you that wants to shine.
.
.
What’s the next bold step you are taking (because your soul is calling and you can’t NOT listen!)?
.
.
I’m working on my new poetry book and this soul question is one of the questions I ask after a poem in my book in the section “Courage” that I can’t wait to share with you! It’s coming along. Please pray for me. I’m a bit stuck on the introduction. And so I know that I need to get outside, be in nature, and listen.

This breath. This moment. Living with devotion. .

This breath. This moment. Living with devotion.

I talk with my psychotherapy and coaching clients every day about the nervous system - our vagus nerve, the ventral vagal complex and the dorsal vagal complex of the vagus nerve, how our sympathetic nervous system wasn’t meant to be “on” and stimulated for so long until it needs a break but we often override it and keep going until we crash. Then we get this yo-yo addiction of “go, go, go” and then “crash-collapse.”
.
Our nervous systems need healing.
.
I know mine does. Ever since I bought my first iPhone eight years ago, I have noticed how easily it has become my “go to” for stimulation AND I override my need to get off of it by staying on and scrolling. I want to shift that so I listen more to my Heart and what creativity wants to arise from there and be shared. I have poems in me that want space to be breathed and shared! My body wants to move and be outside and going on adventures with my family! - I am dedicating July to being outside and in nature even more than I have been (and you all who know me know that I love being outside and moving my body!).
.
- I’m dedicating July to healing some of the layers of overstimulation.
.
- I’m dedicating July to devotion - devotion to what nourished and delights the soul.
.
How about you? Do you feel that sense of overstimulation and yet you keep going? Does that pattern need healing within your nervous system too? What do you want to dedicating July to?
