Peace out PDX. These asthmatic lungs gotta get out

Peace out PDX. These asthmatic lungs gotta get out of these smoke n ash skies. Stay safe everyone. Praying for rain. #maskup #pdxcarpet P.S. The Portland Saturday Market is closed this weekend and the next, per our mayors mandate. Stay inside if y’all are on the west coast.

Pep Talk #17: Love Thy Neighbor. I have seen in t

Pep Talk #17: Love Thy Neighbor.
I have seen in the past few days again people rallying around one another over the displacement of their homes, farms, animals, businesses from these wildfires. When we love our neighbors and know them well, we can show up for them in incredible ways. And this isn’t just neighbors in the houses next door. This can be extended to your workroom neighbor, your protest rally neighbor, your daycare person neighbor, bodega shop neighbor. And given a compassionate heart, (and this one may come with challenges), the neighbors who vote differently from you, the neighbors who are prickly or negative often, the neighbors who are not always kind. Easy to love those who are just like us. But when we step out and take a risk, getting to know our neighbor, and listen and see where they are coming from- we might find some common ground. We all desire connection and we all need to be found in love. Who are your neighbors? How are you showing up for them? What does it look like to be for someone who isn’t like you/doesn’t think like you/doesn’t agree with you? How can we show up for our world today?! #bepresent #love #knowtheirnames #neighbors #mrrogers #spreadlove #givehope #showup #bethere #listen #learn #grow

Pep Talk #16: Anchors Down. Today I had to remind

Pep Talk #16: Anchors Down.
Today I had to remind myself that I am right where I need to be. That going for a jog, picking up my guitar, baking cookies, visiting a yard sale, saying hello to my neighbors, it was all meaningful. Just because it doesn’t seem EPIC, doesn’t mean it was not making an impact. Some days we have to step out of our comfort zone and other days we need to press into our daily rhythms. Sometimes life is messy and storms are coming. But we will always have purpose. And we will always have each other. What keeps you centered and in place? Where are you being found?How do you enjoy the simple things? #staystrong #inthistogehrer #rightwhereyouneedtobe #peptalk

Pep Talk #15: One Thing At A Time. Being overwhelm

Pep Talk #15: One Thing At A Time.
Being overwhelmed is the worst. Worrying is not going to add a single hour to our lives. Yet, recently I have found myself in a bunch of anxious thoughts. So this feels so simple to say, but seriously, one thing at a time. How do you check things off your list? What helps you take your day in steps? #takeitasitcomes #easydoesit #breathe #peptalk #youcandoit #stepbystep

Pep Talk #14: Made For This. No really, you were

Pep Talk #14: Made For This.
No really, you were made for this day, for this body we have been given. Found myself this afternoon feeling lousy about this vessel I am in. Our bodies were made for this day, and the next, and hopefully more after that. If I spend time dwelling on the perceived flaws, then I don’t have time to shine. Sure there are some daily changes we can all make, but self love in only good on the outside if it is first given on the inside. You have value. You have worth. And gosh darn it, you are beautiful. Going to say it louder for y’all in the back- keep shining. What are some ways you combat the negative self talk? How do you shine? What goodness is living in your bones? #shine #selflove #madeforthis #onelife #peptalk #bekindtoyourself #sunshine

Pep Talk #13: Inhale Exhale (Repeat). It is likely

Pep Talk #13: Inhale Exhale (Repeat). It is likely that over the past few months we all have been experiencing different forms of grief. The unknowns that are looming, the job you lost and another one you hope to get back, the effort and time we all wait to see how 2020 will end. I totally couldn’t sleep last night and was not able to turn my brain off. With a little amount of sleep, I woke up feeling very groggy. I shifted my mind and let in only the good stuff. I let go of the things for today that were out of my control. What are you needing to exhale? What are some things you need to take in? No day is lost completely. #getmoresleep #letgo #letin #exhale #inhale #deepbreaths #stretch #extend #reachout #askforhelp #peptalk

Pep Talk #12: Freakin Rest Already. Yeah, not talk

Pep Talk #12: Freakin Rest Already. Yeah, not talking about trading in being a couch potato. We can still do that. But getting REST. This looks different. What allows you to receive rest? Where does true rest come from for you? Why are you not feeling rested? #deepbreaths #onedayatatime #rest #peptalk #layyourburdensdown
