Practical Wisdom with Della

I used to tell myself I couldn't be trusted around certain things. Chocolate. My phone.

Turns out trust isn't built by trying harder. It's built by slowing down and listening.

You can read more in my latest blog post.

Slowing down, listening, and believing myself a little more.

Hello Facebook Peeps!

Tuesday, September 22nd is the Fall Equinox, so I’m offering an online yoga and guided meditation class at 9:00 a.m. CST on Zoom.

Gentle yoga first, nothing too pretzelly — just enough to balance the body. Then a guided meditation, Standing at the Equinox: resting at the still point of the year, where the bright half and the darker half meet.

$15 or a class pass. Reserve your spot to attend.

Put YES in the comments or message me, and I’ll send the Zoom link.

Equinox Blessings,

Della

P.S. A like or share helps this find the people who need it.

True stillness is harder than I thought. And more restful, too.

This morning on the mat, I kept thanking my body… and realized I didn’t believe it yet.

I had an unusual experience recently while exploring the idea of connecting with another version of myself.

What came through was a woman I eventually began calling She Who Waits.

I still don’t know who she was, or if that even matters. What matters is that her message has stayed with me.

You can read about the experience in the first comments.

I used to think being committed to exercise meant sticking to the plan no matter what.

These days, I am trying something very different.

I am learning to listen to my body, even on the days when it says, “Nope. Not today.”

My newest Substack is about letting go of rigid discipline without giving up on movement, strength, or commitment.

I never thought I would be this happy to sweep a floor or pull weeds.

After months of struggling with mold illness, I am finally getting my strength back. And with it, I have a whole new appreciation for the ordinary things I get to do again.

My latest Substack is about housework, health, gratitude, and becoming a domestic goddess all over again. 😄
