Update: Goals Sesh.

As spring is the ultimate time of year for planting seeds, I have recently redone my goals. I dug up all of my old notes and made it priority to create a renewed vision of what I’m doing with my life. What a beautiful and empowering process. It felt great to make me such a priority in my life! :)

Looking Back
During the winter I had come to a few realizations about my self and my life. I saw how much I have developed and removed limits I previously imprisoned myself in. I had truly gone through a metamorphosis and felt empowered within like I could have never before imagined. My creation had taken on a greater level and I had become much more focused on what was most meaningful for me. It was great to reflect before moving forward to know what was most motivating for me now.

Looking Forward
Over time I had started collecting so many goals that they were overwhelming. I no longer felt motivated for them; they had become outdated. The best part of this goals session was envisioning what I wanted, freely, unlimited. Allowing my creative mind to soar first was a great exercise. Then I wrote the next few steps to get there and decided how to best bring them into my reality. I could then clear out all of the stuff I no longer needed to keep in mind.

Clear Mind
Knowing I am working on it and seeing the bigger picture of the process allows me to INJoy each step rather than quickening the pace, while still moving forward at a speed I am happy with.

A New Start
Next I lived as if it were a new life. I brought the change into my being right then. Feeling and living as I wanted. Just going through this process got me thinking in a new way and in the few weeks since, I’ve come up with some great new goals that make me very excited to think about. This all has helped rejuvenate my taste for my daily life, breaking up the old monotony, and is a lot of fun!

All the best to you in your seed planting! Let me know how it’s going.

In Love,
Dani

Being Happy - From the Inside Out

I've always been a people watcher. As a young girl, I openly looked at everyone I came in contact with, wondering who was the happiest? It was a little disheartening during my exploration to uncover that it seemed that almost everyone had a significant amount of unhappiness and troubles in life. I guess I wanted to live a fairy tale. Some people, however, had a great time with life, even through its challenges. I noticed that those who were overall most happiest usually had a sense of humor about their experience. They weren't richer, more beautiful, or better off. They were just happy with what was and were strong in rolling with it. Everyone goes through hard times. Being truly happy is not by getting somewhere or accomplishing something. It is a part of who you are . It is your character, your essential being, the fabric of you. Children are often born with a knowing of it, but many of us lose touch with this understand...

Licorice Grandpa

In high school I wrote this story about my beloved Grandpa Chuck. I just read it again yesterday for the first time in 15 years to my son. I am very thankful to remember these details I had forgotten and to share the essence of such a wonderful man with my boy. I also realized how much of an impact he has made on me that still holds in my character today. In memory of grandpa, here is the story. Slightly edited. :) Licorice Grandpa My grandpa was simply the best. There is no way I can describe what an incredible person he was. He seemed to be the only grandpa alive who was still "a kid" inside. It is because of these reasons that my grandpa Chuck has made an impact on how I live my life today. One of the best memories I have of my grandpa is going to his house every holiday. My family would enter my grandparent's huge immaculate house and be overtaken with the strong thick smell of my grandpa's pipe. As soon as we ...

Love Is

“…And the greatest of all these is love.” ~Corinthians You could explore and study love for your whole lifetime and still never fully understand it. You may only catch a glimpse of its fascinating possibilities. Love is one of those expansive eternal forces - far beyond our senses’ ordinary perception. It is something many dream of, imagine about, and wait for. Some say love is the essence of all there is and that love is the answer. Some say love hurts or it doesn’t even exist. Some prophets say that there is only love or fear at the root of everything - and that love is the only truth. We all have different versions and understandings of love - which evolve throughout our lifetime. They may range from a feeling for a soul mate to one about a favorite shirt. Love can be a sweet nickname or a feared word. Some express it with tenderness, others with strength. Some say I love you to everyone. Some reserve it only for “the one”. Others never say it at all. It can be as simple a...
