Yesterday was big: Happy my 50th birthday to you! Here are a few of my intentions for the new year:
– Keep slowing down. (Notice how everything’s still happening? Nothing is breaking.)
– Remember to stay open. (Whatever you do, don’t close. If your body wants to close, lean into curiosity.)
– Notice what you’re noticing. (Embrace being fully present. Gently notice when I am not. Redirect.)
– Feel that!? (It’s the universe holding you. Say thank you!)
– Ask yourself: What if it was easy (Recognize openings and moments of ease.)
– Experiencing a hard moment? Instead of getting frustrated lean into: “Huh, isn’t that interesting!?” (Life bumps are your teachers.)
– You’re never stuck. (A belief is a thought we keep on thinking. You can change your thoughts.)
– See beauty in everything. (The magic is in you!)
– Declutter. (Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world.)
– Say what you need. (People will still love you.)
– Talk to your plants and your house. (They can hear you!)
– Invest in linen sheets! (Celebrate and love on the things you own!)
– Truth always expands. (Pay attention to your body’s reactions to things.)
– Love is real. (It starts with you. Never withhold love.)
– Always follow the excitement! (Fun is a plenty good reason to do something, even in business.)
– Gently hold yourself to a high standard. (Always add that extra layer of love.)
– Soften even more. (You have to soften to receive!)
– Dance. (Look for disco balls. And, hang a few yourself.)
– Keep expecting miracles.
Thank you for visiting my digital garden. I haven’t been posting as much as I’d like to recently. But, I am still here! Sending you love from Brooklyn!
Happy 50th, Tina!!! So many of these resonate with me, I’ll be taking inspiration for my own intentions.
Thank you for cultivating your digital garden, not matter at what pace. It’s been a beautiful place to visit throughout the years.
Cheers!

I love your curatorship, but what I love the most are the quotes and texts you share. They hit that sweet spot of my heart and I found myself often moved by them.

My daughter has a chronic medical condition and is disabled. She is the queen of resilience. My favorite expression of hers when she has a bad outcome is PLOT TWIST! love that so much…
