    • Never Saw That Coming!

      Never Saw That Coming!

      I never saw that coming! Have you ever felt that way? It’s not a comfortable topic, but one, as human beings, we will experience at least once in our lifetime. It happens with a best friend, a spouse, and sometimes with a family member or trusted colleague.

      The amount of trust shared often governs relationships with people. There is an expectation present that the person will behave or speak to you in a certain way that is amicable for both parties. Now the tricky part. When someone in your circle of trusted people (friends, family, colleagues, or spouses) does something (action or words, or the lack thereof) that feels like a betrayal to your very core. You’re left feeling shocked, heartbroken, or at the very least disappointed.

      When this happens, the trust you experience in the relationship changes. That change is sometimes slight, but frequently is drastic.

      Okay, so it happened. There’s no denying it. It’s real. Now what do you do with it? How does it change your relationship with the other person? Again, sometimes it is a slight change, and other times it is a profound change. The hard part is integrating that experience into your historical library with the person, and now you are in a place of choice.

      The choice leads you to a point of forgiveness and second (or third) chances, or perhaps even to a point where you sever the relationship. Maybe you simply change how you relate to the person. All these big emotions, decisions, and dynamics are part of the dance that happens when you never saw that coming. We each make our own choices about how to manage it once it’s said and done. There is also a circumstantial component that plays into how you respond or react to the event in question. Oh my! This feels enormous!

      The personal power we have in a situation such as this is our choice. It is appropriate and important to understand your feelings about it. It is part of the dance. Give yourself credit for recognizing the feelings, and then remember you always have a choice to act or react in a manner that takes care of you. Sometimes ‘I never saw that coming’ is an invitation for us to examine what is useful in our lives. Maybe it even provides an opportunity for growth. That’s a good thing, even though it might seem like the crux of a tidal wave.

      Did you see this coming? (She smiles encouragingly.)

    • Jealousy

      Jealousy

      Jealousy, to me, looks like a cowering posture that says “I’m inadequate”, or “I’m doing something wrong”, or “I’m less than in some capacity”. What does it look like to you? Perhaps it comes in shades of green, like envy. Do you ever feel jealous about someone traveling to a destination where you’d like to go? Or, maybe your jealousy looks like wanting an article of clothing for yourself that someone else has.

      I feel Jealousy in my arms and shoulders. They feel like they have to protect me somehow from the comparison of myself to someone else or my actions to someone else’s actions. Jealously feels like I’m not enough. Perhaps someone is sharing about a spectacular trip to a place I long to experience myself. It is easy for me to retort, “I’m so jealous!” But what does that mean?

      Sure, it could look like wanting something for yourself that you see in someone else. That is not a bad thing. Is jealousy bad? Or is it an invitation to set a goal for yourself? I think when we live from a jealous perspective, that can be destructive. However, if we use it as a tool to explore, it can bring us gifts that otherwise go unnoticed.

      I think Jealousy could function to remind me to take part in another person’s joy or excitement, instead of flogging myself about something that might be missing or somehow incomplete or feeble. When I recognize Jealousy, I can focus that on an opportunity to acknowledge greatness in another being, and see a piece of my greatness.

      What is your jealousy all about? Show me a picture of what jealousy looks like to you. How does it feel? What is the gift of jealousy?

      Our stories about our feelings make us deeply acquainted with who we are…

Writing this memoir isn’t just a task; it’s a tender embrace I give myself. Moreover, every word I choose becomes a bridge back to moments I once tucked away.

      Meanwhile, I pause midway through a particularly heartfelt section. Tears mix with laughter as I recall a scene from years ago. However, instead of pushing those feelings aside, I lean in. Therefore, the memoir becomes not only a record but also a healing balm.

    • I give you permission to walk more, and feel great about it.

      I give you permission to walk more, and feel great about it.

      Have you ever noticed how a simple stroll shifts everything inside you? Lately, I have been rediscovering the gentle power tucked into each step I take. Instead of rushing through my days, I now pause and invite movement that feels nourishing rather than obligatory.

      Walking has become my quiet rebellion against the pull of endless sitting. Moreover, it reconnects me with my body in ways that surprise and delight me every single time. When I lace up my shoes and head out the door, a soft wave of permission washes over me. I no longer wait for the perfect weather or the ideal schedule.

      I simply go.

      This shift feels liberating because it honors where I am right now. Furthermore, it celebrates the body that carries me through life with such quiet dedication.

      Permission to Walk More Freely

      Yet permission to walk more opens doors I never expected. For instance, my thoughts untangle with each stride while fresh air clears mental fog. Consequently, creativity flows more easily, and gratitude bubbles up naturally. Have you experienced that magical moment when movement turns into pure presence?

      • Daily walks boost mood and energy levels while supporting heart health and mental clarity through consistent gentle movement.
      • Mindful strolling reduces stress and invites deeper breathing, which calms the nervous system and enhances overall well-being.
      • Nature-based steps improve focus and spark joy by connecting you with surroundings in meaningful, sensory-rich ways.

      These benefits unfold gradually, yet they compound beautifully when you embrace walking as a gift rather than a chore.

      However, society often pushes us toward intense workouts or rigid routines. Therefore, I gently push back by choosing steps that feel joyful and sustainable. Additionally, I notice how my posture straightens and my breath deepens when I walk without pressure to perform. Transitioning into this practice happened softly for me. One morning I decided to add ten extra minutes, and suddenly those minutes stretched into twenty because it felt so good.

      Moreover, I have learned to listen closely to my body’s whispers during these outings. Sometimes the pace is brisk and invigorating. Other times it slows to a contemplative saunter that allows me to absorb colors, sounds, and scents around me. Either way, I return home feeling lighter and more connected.

      Discover more about the healing power of movement by exploring thoughtful resources on mindful activity that align beautifully with this approach.

      Furthermore, walking invites profound self-compassion. When I grant myself this permission, guilt about “not doing enough” fades away. Instead, appreciation grows for my capable legs and curious spirit. Have you felt that inner critic quiet down during a peaceful ramble? I certainly have, and it changes how I show up for the rest of my day.

      Besides the physical lift, emotional layers reveal themselves too. For example, worries that seemed overwhelming often shrink when viewed from the moving path. Likewise, solutions emerge in the rhythm of footsteps that never surface while staring at a screen. Consequently, I return refreshed and ready to engage life more fully.

      Additionally, sharing this practice with others multiplies the joy. Whether I walk alone in reflective silence or alongside a friend in easy conversation, the experience enriches me. Transition words like “moreover” and “furthermore” naturally weave through my thoughts now, just as steady steps carry me forward.

      Ultimately, I give you permission to walk more because your well-being deserves this tender attention. Feel great about claiming time for yourself in this simple yet profound way. Your body, mind, and spirit will thank you with renewed vitality and quiet contentment.

      So lace up those shoes today. Step outside with an open heart. Moreover, notice how wonderful it feels to move freely and fully. After all, this permission is yours to embrace wholeheartedly, one beautiful stride at a time.
