DONT FIGHT THE INEVITABLE. It’s time for change

DONT FIGHT THE INEVITABLE.
It’s time for change.

The leaves of autumn welcome the changing of their lush summer greens to sparkling golden topaz and radiant ruby reds. Lean into change like leaves lean into the changing wind and let go of where you are. Release your attachments like the leaf leaves the comfort of the trees branches. Let the old fade away. Allow yourself to be blown somewhere new.
☀️🍁🍂
Efterårets blade byder på skift af deres frodige sommergrøntsager til mousserende gylden topas og strålende rubinrøde. Læn dig ind i forandring som blade læner sig i den skiftende vind og slip, hvor du er. Slip dine vedhæftede filer, ligesom bladet efterlader trægrene. Lad det gamle falme. Tillad dig selv at blive sprængt et nyt sted.

ON GROWING OLDER
•
This beautiful poem, written by Bernadette Noll @reducereuseremake, blossoms the thought of aging into a meaningful softening of ones sharpest edges. Learning to allow our sharpness to soften is the way to achieve inner peace and self acceptance.
•
I want to age like sea glass.
Smoothed by tides, not broken.
I want to ride the waves, go with the flow and feel the impact of the surging tides.
When I am caught between the rocks and a hard place, I will rest.
And when I am ready, I will catch a wave and let it carry me where I belong.
I want to be picked up and held gently by those who delight in my well-earned patina,
And appreciate the changes I went through to achieve this luster.
I want to enjoy the journey and let my preciousness be, not in spite of the impacts,
But because of them.
I want to age like sea glass.

THIS IS JUST A SEASON.
•
As we reach the cusp of a new season, married to the welcome and much anticipated end to a long year and even longer four year cycle in the US, I am reminded of a simple secret often forgotten among the day-to-day race. Gaia, the Great Mother, knows that everything is a season. There is a time for everything - good or bad. THIS? This is just a season.
•
In times of struggle and strife (which this year especially has been) we tend to feel scared and stuck. That’s okay! It’s healthy to feel suffocated by boundaries pushed to the limit or strained by things or people that stretch you too thin. If you’re feeling those emotions... good! The pain is the gift. It’s the sign for you to take action.
•
When I’m at a low I find myself whispering, “this is just a season”. When you feel stuck, remember that the seasons always change. There is always a spring, bringing forth new growth, new life, new projects. A summer for growing and basking in light. Autumn for harvest, gratitude, and the of cooling the load as the hotness of the sun dips into the horizon. And winter, a time for waiting, and for cozy and peaceful rest.
•
Greater than all the secrets of the Garden is the ancient truth that YOU can control the seasons of your life. No matter how weak you feel, YOU and only YOU are capable of cultivating change. It’s not easy. 😏It’s not fun. 😞But it’s possible. ✨And that’s real life magic. Right there in your own hands. 🤲

REMAINING GROUNDED • When the whipping winds of

REMAINING GROUNDED
•
When the whipping winds of a storm snip off your weakest branches and the heavy rains soak your roots... stand your ground. Remain grounded like the tree. 🌳
•
The impact of the storm may be perceived as an injury unable to be healed and remain as such in your mind stunting your growth. The wound of your brokenness so sharp that it cripples you evermore. Of course it can- you can choose that thought. But I have seen thick old trees snapped in half and miraculously grow up from their wounds. I have seen them self heal ignoring the loss and rising from the pain. ⚡️
•
Your roots are deeper than the superficial ones visible at the surface of the earth. The roots that everyone can see. They reach far into the nourishing dirt below. And your weakest branches cast off by the wild winds...Will you feel the pain of their loss? Or will you be freed by the realization that they weren’t serving your growth anymore anyway?
•
Our brokenness grounds us. Our brokenness makes us who we are. 🙏🏼 What would your life be like if you saw everything as a gift? Everything as an opportunity to grow? The next time you are in tree pose in a yoga class promise me that you’ll ponder these words. Love to you!

Stop wasting time trying to fit your life, thought

Stop wasting time trying to fit your life, thoughts, clothes, car, kids, & interests into a mold cast by others. The beautiful truth is that you’re never going to fit! 🙏🏼
•
Now that you are free, move on. 🕊 Allow yourself instead to use that time to do something that nourishes your heart and soul, while making the world around you more beautiful & kind.
•
Just think about what good you can do for yourself and the world once you remove that expectation from your list. Start writing. Share your truth. Plant a garden. Plant a tree. Paint. Go for walks in the moonlight. Write to your politicians to stand up for positive change. Learn a new recipe or instrument! You DO have time. Get out of your own way! Make room to grow.
