Let My Life be the Proof of Your Love

I am not the best Christian out there. I make my mistakes and am no god. Therefore let me show you his love and grace through the way I live my life. Through the kindness I share with you, its not me....it's Him.

(YES doing this in a car)

Sometimes, it looks like doing your laundry or brushing your teeth even though you're beyond exhausted or feeling paralyzed by depression.

Self-care isn't always about bath bombs and bubbly. Sometimes, it's about getting out of bed on time.

Don't let the commodofication of self-care fool you into thinking that the overpriced, "luxury" bath bombs, the salty-ass french fries or the fifth glass of wine are nourishing you.

Sure, sometimes we need to balance out our discipline with a little vice and letting go...but above all else:

Listen to yourself. Respect yourself. Love yourself NO MATTER WHAT. Only you know what you need....and be unconditional with your commitment to your own joy and well-being. You are worth it- and the whole universe benefits from you being at your very best.

Don't let any company dictate your sacred practice.

Don't let any self-doubt or criticism disturb your sense of self-worth.

Every act of self-care is sacred....even the laundry. It isn't always easy or fun- but it is always worth it.

So- have the hard conversation....

Draw the boundary

Say no to the extra, unnecessary, draining commitment

Call people out for problematic behavior

Refuse to be treated as subhuman

Buy the 99 cent bath bubbles instead of the overpriced luxury brand

Drink more water

Meditate

Sit with yourself, immersed in satisfying thoughts about your own worth

Remind yourself that spirit cherishes you and longs for you

Practice emotional self-reliance

Believe in your abilities to keep going

Take more walks

Work on releasing addictions

and remind yourself that you matter no matter what (do this one more than anything else)!

Put your phone away, brush your teeth and put yourself to bed at a reasonable hour.

Serve your soul in every aspect of your life.

This serves your highest good and the highest good of the entire universe.

Today, I vow to accept where I am...

to dig my toes in the dirt, like roots...

To bloom;

With my face towards the sun!

I lean into all that I am:

The sting of the fresh cut

the sweet of the morning dew.

a garden of overgrown vines.

I lean into you.

Mother,

we are the seeds you planted.

And this birthing of flowers-

this breaking open-

...it is our sacred birthright!

My friend, I vow never to apologize for my soiled feet again

Or the footprints they leave along your garden path.

Because We belong to each other...and this is my way of finding you.

This is Our holy bond: our Humanity.

We grow together.

We bloom.

wild.

in perfect timing.
