Reminds me of what I've been experiencing + writing about this month: Evolution/growth/success is not linear (if you do this, then you get that). It's spiral. Requires a full range of emotions, including the ones that don't feel so good. Gotta go through it to get through it. Takes multo amounts of allowing, loving, and being present, without judgment, of oneself. Of others. It's all part of the same cycle and with conscious awareness and emotional intelligence, we can feel that judgment not resonating with our higher selves. It's fear surfacing as a protection mechanism. But really now: how's that workin' for...

Can you believe Albert Einstein said, “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” I’ve been thinking on this lately. Albert Einstein was a smart, smart man. But quotes of his like this make me see his intelligence in different, universal – perhaps even spiritual ways. I’ve been testing my ability to see everything as miracle and boy, does it take work. As a New Yorker, I’ve recently been doing this work in finding ways to enjoy winter. My tendency is...
