permission to play


Before you start this email - reconnect to yourself—> the breath, visualize the breath from the crown of your head to your root and feet and then take the exhale and follow from feet to crown.

Release any physical holding or tightness.

Scan your physical, mental-emotional, and spirit bodies for any messages.

Then finish this sentence:

I embody play as ________…

We all embody play differently.

Myself, I embody play as movement.

You need play intentionally in your life to promote overall wellbeing and enhance your health and vitality.

One of my teachers, Shiva Rea, calls this sparking our Vitamin J.

*If you feel like your life is too busy or too stressful, you actually need more play.

Or you may need to alter the perception of things you are already doing as play.

So, Reader, can you give yourself the PERMISSION to play more and allow yourself to enjoy some things your are already doing as play.

Your soul needs joy and Play.

Your energy will increase.

Your work life will benefit.

Your relationships will be more fun and joyful.

Pass the spark~Be the spark.

Love to support you on this…I am trying to have lots of good conversations to support you.

Book a call here so we can talk!

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,...
