What grounds you?

Do you have something that is comforting for you?

Something that helps you exhale and relax even when life is a bit nutty?

Mine is a hot cup of tea, especially the first cup of the day.

And there is a ritual behind it.

I first fill my tea kettle with water and set it on the stove to heat.

Then I choose my tea cup. I have a huge collection.

I get a new tea cup whenever I have a shift in awareness about myself and feel like I am stepping into new energy. The cup represents the new energy and is my inspirational reminder as I drink. While I usually choose my “current” cup for my morning tea, sometimes a different message is what I need.

If it’s Sunday, I choose a mug with no message. It’s my quiet, reflective, introspective morning.

Then I choose the tea.

I have my morning black tea: one cup of Tetley Tea with a tablespoon of raw, local, honey.

(I choose green or white after lunch and an herbal before bed - just in case you were wondering!)

Once I add the hot water, I steep for 5 min, stirring in the honey as I wait.

Then, if no one needs me (I am a mom, after all :-) ), I sit with my tea and take the first 2-3 sips, breathing and staring out the window. It’s a glorious moment of calm.

I once challenged myself for one week to drink my entire first cup of tea while staring out the window. I LOVE It. While the entire cup of serenity has not stuck, the first few sips is a reminder.

Just writing about it brings me calm. It feels so good! I hope you have something like that. As we move into December, I am going to post about self-care more for the month. I think this month is a GREAT month for incorporating self-care. And to realize something as simply as getting yourself a cup of tea can be an act of self-care.

What’s a simple self-care act you have?

2020…am I right?

Such a bizarre, exhausting, frustrating year.

I’m not sure what you did with it, but I feel I set aside a few things I really wanted to accomplish because I didn’t have the energy to step into it.

Simply surviving the emotional turmoil with a dash of aplomb is an achievement.

AND…I feel inspired to dive into life again. The realities of our life, the quarantine, etc, are going to be around for awhile longer. I don’t want to keep setting aside my dreams to wait for life to return to normal.

If you are with me, stick with me.

Starting today, we have 4 ½ weeks to the new year, the day for setting new intentions for ourselves. If you’ve been following me for awhile, you KNOW this is my FAVORITE time of year. I LOVE the energy of the New Year.

I think we can all agree - THIS New Year is more important than any other during of our lifetime.

It’s time to take a deep breath, acknowledge the challenges of 2020 and then step into this fresh year with new energy and vim & vigor.

It’s easy to forget, especially in light of what this year has been like, that we have more control over our lives than we realize.

So, that said, I will be resurrecting my “Monday Morning Musing” series for the next 5 Mondays (into January) to inspire you to powerful, meaningful, transformational New Year’s Resolutions.

Together, we can make our next year a powerful year for our lives.

We all have an Extraordinary Life in us (one that is deeply fulfilling, purposeful, and joyful). It’s time we all took a big step into it!

Now You: Double click if you have a dream in your heart that needs to come out and tag a friend who needs to hear this!

Right now is so hard.

Burnout is a super common experience and I wanted you to see what some of the symptoms are.

I know i have been experiencing a slew of symptoms the past few months.

But here’s a quick tip for you: Self-care goes a long way to helping you with burnout.

It might not be the only thing you have to do.

BUT think of burnout is being completely tapped out of your energy source - as in the cup is not only empty, but there is a gaping hole in the bottom.

Self-care is our fuel.

At the very least, it helps you keep your head afloat so you can breathe.

On a scale of 1-10 (1 is awful, 10 is rocking life), how are you doing right now?

No matter what your number, can you commit to one extra piece of self-care that you do daily or weekly? Something that can take you up even just a half point?

Friday was National Kindness Day and it got me thinking about kindness...and how we could all use a little more right now.

Then this post -- from 11 years ago -- popped up in my Facebook memories. Coincidence?

I don't think so either.

Just an FYI, my son, Zack was 5 years old when this happened!

I was on date with my son. We were at the coffee shop enjoying hot apple cider and each other’s company. A kind older gentleman brought a cookie he had bought for Zacky. He said Zack had smiled at him so sweetly, he wanted to share something with him. Zack smiled, accepted the cookie, and thanked the gentleman.

The gentleman left and we resumed our game. Fifteen minutes later, Zack asked, “Why did he do that?” We talked about how Zack had helped him feel good so he wanted to do the same for Zack. I also pointed out how good Zack was feeling and that good feeling came from the kindness of the gentleman’s gift.

Another fifteen minutes passed and Zack blurted out, “So, who can we give a gift to?” I suggested we buy a muffin as we were leaving and have the clerk give it to the next person who came in who needed a muffin. He thought that was a good idea.

On the way out, we told the clerk we had been victims of a random act of kindness. She smiled and said, “Ah, so you got the cookie!” We said we wanted to do something for someone and would she give a muffin to the next person she thought needed one. She smiled and teared a bit, thanking us.

Zack exuded love all day and changed the energy in our home. His first words the next morning were, “Do you think the person received their muffin yet?”

The best part of the story was pointed out to me by one of my students after I shared the story with her. Zack can’t eat wheat. He was feeling that gratitude for the cookie even though it wasn’t something he could enjoy!

Interesting...here I was looking for a way to teach my children about kindness and it was me who was taught by them!

It’s World Kindness Day.

Doesn’t that sound like something we could use right now?

Could you use a little something?

I’m writing “Thinking of You” cards to mail to some of my oily community.

Remember when you got a handwritten note in the mail? :-)

Could you use one?

DM me your address and I’ll write a note from me to you…with a little inspiration inside!

And maybe send a quick text to someone you are thinking about…let them know they are in your heart.

Psssst….pass it on.

Chocolate in our house is a love language. My hus

Chocolate in our house is a love language.

My husband’s mom (who passed away long before I came into the family so she feels more like my “husband’s mom” than my mother-in-law), LOVED chocolate and used it “therapeutically”, as she used to say.

She passed that love onto her kiddos and through them, to my daughter.

My husband makes the BEST chocolate chip cookies and the BEST part of his baking them? He does them as an expression of love for all of us.

It took me a bit to figure that one out. We all express our love to our loved ones in different ways.

Once I realized that was what he was doing, I was able to appreciate it even more.

Do you know the love language of your loved ones? Knowing our own love languages is important, but knowing how our loved ones are expressing their feelings is important, too.

Today I would like to take a moment to introduce you to the newest member of our household, Cinnamon.

My husband and I resisted a cat/dog pet for 19 years. But our daughter, Sierra, has a chronic illness she has suffered from for almost 3 years and this summer it has just become worse.

When she decided to take medical leave from college AND knew we would be continuing our quarantine through winter (because of her illness, she is high-risk), we decided we needed to add a little joy into her life.

In comes this adorable, orange, tabby cat, Cinnamon.

What a little personality!!

Sometimes you have to make a huge shift (choosing to get a cat was a big change for my hubby and me) in your life.

It could be the best decision of your life!

We are having so much fun with this little thing! You can check my Stories for more cat antics.

So I am trying something new today…it’s called stopping and taking care of myself early in an illness.

I spent the night feeling on the edge of crappy and woke up not feeling great but also not THAT bad.

Normally I would treat that as an opportunity to push through and get stuff done.

But you know what?

I deserve to treat myself better. I deserve to relax and take care of myself even when I’m not “that sick”.

I’m guessing I’m not alone here which is why I decided to share it with you.

If you are someone who pushes through just because your aren’t “that sick” and you can, you have my permission to relax and take it easy BEFORE you have to!

You know what it is…

It plays in the back of your heart constantly like a tune you have stuck in your head.

You know, on your deathbed, you want to look back with a smile, knowing you lived life to the fullest.

And you can’t do that…until you do the thing you think you cannot do.

I’ll be your cheerleader.

I’ve got your back.

Go.

Do it.

The outcome doesn’t matter.

The fact that you tried does.
