I am committed to YOU...Are you?


Dear Reader,

Do you know who William H. Murray was? I'm speaking of the Scottish mountain climber who is known for this quote:

Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, and always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans.
That the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too… All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.
A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no one could have dreamed would have come their way.
I have learned a great respect for one of Goethe’s couplets:
“Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.”
Begin it now!
William H. Murray

What will you believe today?
What commitment will you make in the service of your dreams today?

Dreaming of so many things: Costa Rica with my people, a beautiful ranch for my horse rescue, published books, a new truck, and a membership that serves thousands of HSPs across the planet.

Seeing dreams as reality. Are you?

Dear Reader, It's my birthday, and I might cry, but I doubt it. You know why? I'm DESIGNING my day, my year, my life to be compatible with who I am in this world. I'm different than the majority IN SO MANY WAYS! Sometimes it's a drag and so tiring or even annoying. BUT...As I continue to recommit to living a life I love as a highly sensitive introvert with all my other unique temperaments, it gets better and better. It's a practice. I'm not perfect at it (dammit) and I have to recommit daily....

Dear Reader, This is my birthday week (or as my dear friend Shay used to say, birthday month) I'm not sure about my answer. Both and Neither??? Pressure, reflection, expectations, hosting, disappointment, embracing change. What I know for sure is how much more resilient I am when I practice my spirituality tools. As it's November, we are in HSP GRATITUDE MONTH. And I'm making use of my gratitude practices to increase my resilience. ARE YOU? I have a few practices to offer and would love to...

A beautiful altar in the rainforest made of tropical flowers and crystals with the jungle as a backdrop.

Dear Reader, Are you ready for Costa Rica? 100 days from now, I will meet you there. Beauty is everywhere. Nature provides. But it feels different in the rainforest. The colors are brighter, the forest is lusher, and dang do things grow. Beauty is everywhere. Nature provides. When I first got out of the SUV that chauffeured me (after the 15 minute private charter plane ride) I was a little done in. Travel can be exhausting for everyone, but more so for highly sensitive people since we are...
