Heads up, Reader, I’m going to talk about some science today. 😆 But first, have you ever noticed that when you get interested in something (like a type of car or a show or style or really anything) you START TO SEE IT EVERYWHERE. You see that car more often on the street, you see the advertisements for shows you like, you see people wearing that type of style of ___ you like…. The Reticular Activating System (RAS) is the beautiful part of your brain that notices, filters, and highlights this information into your conscious awareness. “Yes Christina, I am SO excited about my brain, but WHY do I care?” You care because your RAS is going to help you align what you want ~ what you need ~ your goals…with what is happening around you. Close your eyes, lengthen your beautiful spine, and bring in some delicious inhales and exhales and ask yourself: What do I want? For example, if you want to see yourself having joyful respectful relationships..notice all the joyful words and actions that already exist. If you want to change your health, notice all the things you are doing right (your exercising, your water intake, ETC). If you want to live in deeper connection to yourself, see all the moments you already have in solitude each day and MAKE THE MOST OF THEM by listening in and not spiraling into not so great habits! (Hold on while I hop off my soap box!😆) Find a way to honor this intuition, this divine sprit messaging, by figuring out an aligned action. And it starts in the noticing. You got this Xo cp ❤️ 🔥Before you go, Reader, I want your opinion! 🔥

So hey! Reader! I was in the bedtime snuggle / book reading moment with my 9 y.o and we were reading a fave book of mine, “The Three Questions” by Jon This IS by far one of my most favorite times of the day. I love the reading and the snuggling and the connecting, especially important when there has been a disconnect or something to repair from the day. Which - sigh - there usually is. The book had me thinking of the three questions which are originally from Leo Tolstoy. When is the best time...
This has been a special week, Reader. My little one turned the big 9 years old! And David and I celebrated our 20th anniversary!!! Yes, our anniversary is on “April Fools Day.” 😆 (It was yes a bit of a joke for my mother in law but also we were headed to Bhutan for our honeymoon and we needed to leave on a certain date…) For our anniversary date, David and I ran with our Australian shepherd, Laika on the trails near our house. While Laika is off leash, since she is a herding dog, she...
I just realized this myself, Reader, and I was like WHOA!!!! As a mom with kids in school, now is my time to REFLECT on all that's happened (that I made happen!) since September. And ask myself: Have I moved closer to those guiding stars (my goals)? Is there some other thing / way of being / call to adventure that is unfinished or needs more forward progress? 🔥 Because in 11 weeks, when Jr. Lifeguard carpools start, schedules are regularly irregular, and I get to enjoy more time with my boys,...
