So THIS Just Happened...meditation post pt. 2

Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it... As I mentioned before, I am still reasonably new to meditation. I am learning the “ins and outs” and figuring out that what I thought to be the case as far as what meditation “IS” (universally) compared to what meditation “IS” for ME. If that makes sense? At this point, I am a few months into the practice and have already had some incredibly life altering experiences. Meditation opened the gateway to my mid life review (intense! But not at all scary or threatening) and it’s provided me with insight i didn’t even know I was looking for. In typical Tina fashion, I crave the mountain top experiences. I’m sure we all do. And with that in mind, I feel it necessary that my meditation sessions seemed pretty straightforward (for the most part) up to this point. I do most of my meditation prior to bedtime. It helps me to unwind from the day and prepare for some actual rest. I lay in bed in the quiet darkness, breathing in deeply, feeling ...

Not All Heroes Wear Capes

Not all heroes wear capes. Some offer well timed, much needed words of kindness. Some make calm small talk with you in the Target checkout line when you clearly need some encouragement. ^^all while offering your screaming toddler a judgement free sticker in the same exchange.

Some pick up litter and leave this world better than when they found it. Some coach you off of whatever addiction you may be using to numb the challenges of this world and your spirits tenderness. Some take in abandoned animals. Some offer practical, albeit unexpected words of wi...

I’m PROUD of YOU! Yes...YOU!

Image
You know what I’m proud of? I’m proud that through every disappointment, every frustration, every roadblock, every lesson, you have SHOWN UP! Not only have you shown up, you continue to SHOW UP. You have been hurt, you’ve been frustrated, you’ve been humiliated and yet here you are. You are still standing. You are still participating. You are still here. And that says something. You are a warrior.  Most equate bravery with some sort of overt heroism— running into a burning building, or standing up against tyranny or something. While YES, those actions are a type of bravery, the truest form of bravery, the truest way to be BRAVE is to show up and BE YOURSELF. Be your authentic, messy, hurt, imperfect self. You want honest to goodness down home bravery? Be unapologetically you. Now THAT’S bravery.  Bravado is one thing. Being the physically strongest or the physically loudest in the room was once and still is equated with being powerful. But that is all noise. It is a...
