12 days of Christmas [day 2]

  • Let’s allow time and space for being and for [reflection + expression].
  • Let’s prioritize rest and ease—and being/doing what affirms and renews and inspires us.
  • And let’s celebrate the invitation + inspiration of [oracles] and a creative practice.

Today’s oracle card is Dove Medicine: “Thy wings are thick and strong, I see, for they have battled the most unforgiving winds. Be proud, be free my child, go on, soar like never be.”

  • A practice is merely a task or ritual we repeat over and over to move forward. ❤️
    • “Growth is an erratic forward movement: two steps forward, one step back. Remember that and be very gentle with yourself.” -Julia Cameron
  • Tomorrow is the first quarter 🌓 moon. (Just an idea …) 😊
  • Choose (1) statement daily to read aloud, collage on a monthly calendar or copy into your journal.

“Try sitting down in the same place at the same time for the same amount of time every day and see what happens.” -Austin Kleon

Right brain planning begins with pause and holding space—being attentive and wholly in the moment.

The focus in developing a right brain planning practice is to see our living as ongoing—a timeline [days within years; years within a lifetime].

  • To resist the urge to allow a “bad day” or a “bad week” to become a filter—a lens—that limits our ability to hope + live differently.
  • To ease away from a performance-based valuation of self-worth.
  • To see the details of our living as phases (like the 🌙 moon) as we cycle in our wholeness.
