This isn’t a hypothetical question. I invite you to actually take some time to contemplate it- without being humble, without watering it down, how do you positively impact another's life?

Or, flipping the script, perhaps you recognize the ways in which you negatively impact another's life? Where's the misalignment in that or what are you being asked to witness within that experience?

I went to Walmart with the hubbs yesterday and usually do a pretty good job of not picking up on others' energy, but not this trip. I couldn't pinpoint who it was coming from, maybe a collective group of humans, but I had this overwhelming sense of loneliness. Like these individuals felt completely invisible in their everyday lives. Going through the motions with no real connections, never truly feeling seen. It was heartbreaking.

I went through the rest of my shopping trip making eye contact and smiling at each soul I encountered, hoping they would feel recognized for at least a moment in their day.

That immense sense of loneliness stuck with me for a while after the shopping experience. I sat with it, held it, knowing I've felt it before.

I wonder if the source of a lot of it is the inability to feel safe sharing who we truly are. Do we have spaces where we can say the things that weigh heavy upon our chests? Do we feel comfortable showing our true colors without ridicule or judgment?

Perhaps the remedy to this deep loneliness requires a sort of personal courage, the bravery to let ourselves be fully seen so that we may attract the people who allow us to be ourselves and, in fact, celebrate us for exactly who we are.

I know this world can feel overwhelming at times, but may we move through each day with presence, awareness, and connection as we encounter and interact with one another.

Morning musings...

Can we identify natural traits others often reflect back to us? The gifts that seem to come so effortlessly that we hardly notice them ourselves...

Why do we seek validation or certification for something that we may have been born innately gifted to do?

How are we sharing these gifts with the world?

What if something that feels almost ordinary to us is extraordinary to someone else?

What comes so naturally that you almost overlook it or what have you maybe dismissed because it came "too easily"?

I've noticed that I often assume everyone experiences the world as I do then someone says "How did you see that?" or "I never would have thought of it that way" and I real•eyes that my perspective is unique- and so is yours!!

A message that has been coming through for me that I would like to share with anyone who may need it is that of energy leaks.

I've used the teen-friendly analogy of "closing your tabs" when sharing this insight with my son. When we have unfinished business, obligations, messes, or even draining relationships looming in the background at all times, it's slowly draining our internal battery, siphoning our precious energy reserves.

Which tabs can we close? Where can we take our energy back?

Maybe it's finally making the appointment, folding the laundry, responding to the text, or having the conversation we've been avoiding. Perhaps the tab isn't needing to be "completed" per se, but consciously released- a commitment that no longer aligns, an expectation that was never ours to begin with, or a story that has simply run its course.

We don't have to close every tab today, just focus on one. One small act of completion or release can return more energy to us than we probably even realize.

Last night I had the most frustrating dream. I arrived at a carnival, excited to go in, but I couldn't make it out of the parking lot and onto the fair grounds. I was trying to buy tickets on my phone through an app, but nothing I did would make it work. My card wasn't accepted, I needed some special code. Every attempt led to another obstacle. I asked others in the parking lot for help. Some half-heartedly tried, others weren't interested in lending a hand at all.

I woke this morning still carrying the agitation, the lingering remnants of the dream, asking myself, "What could that have meant?"

Almost immediately, I heard the question: "Did you ever go directly to the gate?"

Upon reflection, I feel this dream offered me several messages:

If something isn't working, don't keep trying the same way over and over again.

If you keep bumping up against obstacles, or if it feels like you're constantly having to jump through hoops, maybe there is another way.

Don't ask everyone else what to do, go directly to the source, the gate, your own soul-self.

It leaves me with a few contemplations:

Where have I been repeating the same approach while expecting a different result?

Where have I mistaken complexity for the only path forward?

And where have I been outsourcing my authority instead of going directly to the source within?

Seeds for thought this Saturday morning...

What are we integrating at the moment?

What if our focus on the past is preventing our drive forward? Is there something you're needing to leave behind?
