Week{s} in Review
After a fitful sleep with Mookie barking and lunging every few hours at Jackson the glaring cat (he’s not a fan of being stared at), I’m sitting at my desk gearing up for a 12-hour day and asking myself what can be checked off before heading out to my first meeting.
Some times it feels as if I’m a human robot checking off task after task for project after project. Other times, I’m able to appreciate the beauty of the moment with a yummy cuppa tea, journal, and deep breaths.
How to have more of the latter and less of the former while still staying productive? Hmmm, I’m guessing that’s the million dollar question.
As I make my way into this new season focused on blooming and bringing forth what’s been lying dormant all winter, I wonder what’s ahead.
I wish for more creative space, less email. More color, less drab. More meaning, less going through the motions. More being, less doing. More space, less overbooking. More clarity, less cloudy.
Next Thursday I’m hosting the seasonal Tranquility du Jour Live online video gathering where I’ll share tips on finding more tranquility this spring. Would love to have you join as I sort through these wishes.
The past two weeks have contained a 4-day Psychotherapy Networker conference (hello David Whyte and Rick Hanson), a jaunt to North Carolina for two Garth Brooks shows (I miss him . . . haven’t seen him for nearly TWO weeks), sacred space with dozens of clients, reading You Had Me at Woof in less than 24 hours, teaching mindfulness and writing, sharing more info on the upcoming Yoga and the Animals, long walks with Mookie and Tim, and submitting a piece to Bella Grace (fingers crossed).
As I move into the weekend and upcoming week, I’m looking for signs of spring bubbling up within and asking what needs to bloom. Bisous. x
