Focus Friday: Stay Open Jul 13, 2018

Show notes

There is nothing quite as peaceful or healing as watching the ocean waves crash into the shore on a perfect midsummer's day.

I stopped by the water for some reflection + healing of my own recently, and got to thinking about the natural cadence, the rise and fall, of our daily lives.

Focus Friday: Keep the Faith Jul 06, 2018

Show notes

This week's Focus Friday is one that is near and dear to my heart. It's one that I recorded so I could keep it close by, to remember the reasons why I choose faith in the moments when all I want to do is give up. My hope for you is that this episode will inspire you to do the same.

I share a story with you about the gift of keeping the faith, and how even in situation where it seemed like there was no reason to keep trying- I did. What happened next was nothing short of a miracle, one that I can't wait to tell you about.

Warning: For all of my fellow cryers who are listening, make sure you grab your tissues- this one is definitely going to bring out the tears.

In this episode:

I share a story (you get to hear it here first) about keeping the faith even when it seems like all is lost [ 1:03 ]
How to trust the unfolding of life [ 10:00]
The miracle moment [ 12:20 ]
The biggest lesson I learned about love and faith [ 18:45 ]

Soul Shifting Quotes:

"I've learned enough in my life, that when things are supposed to happen the way they are, when we really trust the lessons and the Divine nudges of our life- miracles happen."
"All is not lost, and sometimes we just have to hang on a little longer than we want to to get to that moment of the miracle... of the magic that is waiting for us on the other side of our faith."
"Treasure the now, treasure the moments, treasure the lessons that are coming through that you might be missing."
"Our world needs more courageous feeling."
"Stop editing yourself out of your own life."
