My friend!

I have been busy making space in my life. I actually organized my stuff in my drawers in my bedroom and got rid of a lot of jewelry and other accessories I’ve been holding onto for so long! It feels good to share items that, at one time in my life, gave me joy. Now, it can bring joy to someone else. It feels good to make this much needed space in my life. I am getting rid of lots of things I couldn’t bear to part with last month. I have unleashed a beast and it’s a beautiful manifestation of my dreams. I wanted something done so I did it. Easier said than done…right?

When I list my Dreams they change form

If I can write it down in a list, I find it easier to prioritize my direction. Its Springtime and that means it’s planting season. Not only plants, but my ideas and dreams. What are goals to work on right now? Where is my focus? How can I make my dream a reality? I am pretty pleased with my list of goals and off to a pretty good start thus far. I need to stay focused but balanced. What is work without breaks? I know to be kind to myself and check in with myself during my meditations and mindful walks. Shoot, even mindful eating! LOL!

My spaces have magic

Me and my family have been working hard on weekends getting rocks from my daughter’s house to mine. Rocks are heavy. My body thrives on the work though. I find community with my family, and we are building together. I love spending my time investing in my future. I know the firepit area we are building up is going to be enjoyed for years to come. All the laughs and energy will create the best memories and I smile now in anticipation. I want every space I own to be a sanctuary. A place to be enjoyed and feel safe. That is so important to me!

Plant babies need space too

I don’t know about you, but I have been needing to split a bunch of my plants and repot them, and put my cacti outside, etc. I got it done! I just doted on myself to myself for the past week! I have been wanting this done forever! I split just one plant into 8! I probably got 22 new plant babies potted and some in water to root. I was going to spend an obscene amount of money on plants (cause it brings me joy) and now I don’t have to! I am waiting to see how they do. I enjoyed spending time one-on-one with each of my plants. I feel we are all connected, and felt a great reminder that humans are not superior to everything. We are intertwined and since I am going to practice more mindfulness with my plants, I hope they will benefit me with their magic of cleaning stale house air. Please bless me, wanìshi (thank you – Lenape).

Clear my weekend calendar

Burnout is a thing of the past. I do not aspire to be at every event and own a busy, crazy, insane calendar agenda. I plan on the “no plan” plan. Sounds fun to me! I love not having something pressing that I have to be at on weekends. I can do whatever I want. It usually is the same thing as a weekday, but I can spend a longer time walking in nature. Or I can stop by my daughter’s house and walk with her too. I am counting down to the warmer days so I can paddleboard every weekend and not have a care in the world. Just me and nature, besties forever.

Analyze where space is needed

Have you ever had the biggest brain malfunction of your life and thought that organizing your house would solve it? Well, I can attest that my brain is well and functioning and my house is getting organized. I know what I am facing on Memorial Day weekend going forward until Labor Day weekend. I have to spend time making it flawless. That entails a lot of planning ahead or enjoying the consequences of laziness. I have to create a new space and plan to make sure I stay on top of my game. Failing is learning! I will take the bad but learn. I have to find out failures for myself to fully learn and plan. I can do hard things! Analyze my issues and plan, plan, plan!

Yogi Outro

Life is a trip. I never knew easy, everything was hard and unreachable, I felt. I just was existing, blowing in the wind. I had no recollection of a dream. All those dreams I had young. I spent so much time surviving that I forgot the dreams. I forgot a lot. I remember now and I get to walk free sharing love with anyone who needs someone to listen. I refuse to let life make me bitter. I have too much anger surrounding me in everyday life, I want to be a breath of fresh air for myself and others. I want to forget how to blow in the wind and grow my roots in my space. I want to help others build their roots and learn their truths. There’s so much to learn and I cannot wait to share!

Namastè! Wanìshi!
