I would love to share a excerpt from a book I’m currently writing:

Expand your awareness of who you are

What’s the greatest idea you hold about your life?

Three months ago, I wanted to throw in the towel. I was filled with grief, physical pain, anxiety, and depression. My focus this entire year has been on becoming the best version of myself. Looking back, I realize a lot needed to be cleared out first.

It felt like there were critters living in the attic of my mind. Squashing them wasn’t an option. Instead, I took out a magnifying glass and studied each one with curiosity and compassion. Some needed a gentle release back into the earth. Others needed care. In the end, I made peace with them all. Love and curiosity expanded my view and reminded me: we are the writers of our story, and it can be rewritten at any moment.

Today is a glorious autumn day. The sun is out, the birds are singing, and gratitude fills my heart, for my family, for health, and for love. Joy doesn’t have to be rare. It can become our norm when we choose it consciously, every single day.

I am thankful for this journey and experience that is called life, the shadows and the light.

💜 What about you? What are you grateful for today?
