What’s Alive For Me Today?

Do you have a daily practice? I muse everyday. I’ve been loving it. What do you love about any daily practice you have?

That feeling of urgency? It’s actually an indicator of agitated thought. Once we settle and the urgency clears, we get smarter and a course of action becomes obvious.

I love love love how when I settle, get quiet for a bit, and focus on a topic, ideas begin to flow for that topic. It’s all part of the design. :)

Everything around me and Everyone is made of the infinite energy of the Universe and I never know what is going to happen next. I love it!

I am always delighted and surprised that when I focus on the things in my life with joy (I’m not talking about the joyful things only but all the things) I find that life becomes delightful and surprising.

Human beings are amazingly awesome.

For such a long time I was ignoring the first inkling idea that came to me. About ANYTHING and EVERYTHING! All because I had made some rule about the first thing isn’t THE thing. Thankfully I noticed and that one dissolved. It’s so much easier to move through life with wisdom guiding you easefully and gracefully in each moment. Turns out that the first thing is usually actually THE thing.

I am musing this morning about seeing the underlying aliveness in all things, all people and all situations. Everyone and Everything at it’s core is love. Love in form. Then the form of our Thought creation gets added on and way downstream you get a person’s psychology and then even more downstream is their behaviour that we have sooo many opinions about. Except it always ALL starts with love. When I see the love first, it’s absolute freedom for me from “all of that”. And freedom is my favourite.

I write a lot of little notes around my office when inspiration strikes and then eventually look at them when they are a fair stack. Today I read one I had written a month or so ago. It says “Something I do naturally is, I marvel at the wonder of life”. What is something wonder-ful that you do naturally?

I love paying bills. Lol. I really do. It feels like such a clean slate. It also feels like a flow of money and abundance for the things and experiences I have spent the money on. A very alive flow of life energy. Super fun and feels awesome!
04/01/2026
Sometimes I don’t take action on something and I still really want to do it. But don’t, for no real obvious conscious reason. I might then beat myself up about it, try to motivate myself to get it done or call it procrastination and then go back to beating myself up about it. Then all of a sudden a new way of doing the thing or solution comes into my awareness that I didn’t know about before. And it changes everything. I then feel immensely grateful that I hadn’t moved forward before. Then I realize I could have spent all that energy of trying to motivate and beating up on something else or simply relaxing and having fun. Hmmm…Perhaps those pauses actually are a part of listening to a deeper part of life that is also a quieter part of life.

You ever want ALL of it? But know that it’ll make you sick in some way. Because while you REALLY do want to eat the entire cake in one go you know you’ll feel sick if you do. And sometimes you just do it anyways, for the fun of it!
02/01/2026
I’ve been musing about the difference in things that are “alive” for me versus things that just aren’t. It may be simple like I want to go to the gym right now feeling very alive versus I want to go to the gym right now feeling like a have to or should. So I didn’t go to the gym. I’ll go tomorrow. :)

Happy New Year! There is a TON of fresh snow here today! Very white and fresh. A perfect cross country skiing day for those who get out into it. I’ve been musing about creation and creating fresh from nothing. New ideas pop into our minds when we follow the flow of it. For me if I get a bit quiet I feel a movement of energy start. I tend to start to do something like cleaning the kitchen and as I move ideas flow and then if I choose to I’ll flow into creating that idea and then over time cool stuff happens. Kinda like as I look out at the snow, it feels like it calls to me and I go out to shovel the drive and then maybe a snowman just happens! Have a great day!

It’s New Year’s Eve day. :) A number of people have expressed to me, this week, “Where did the time go?” It strikes me as kind of weird even though I know why someone would say that. It’s weird because time isn’t any kind of a thing. It doesn’t go anywhere. It’s not an it. But we feel something that we call “the passage of time”. In each moment this would be more of a pressure feeling which isn’t a thing called time at all. Rather, it’s our thoughts in the moment about a no-thing we call time. That’s pretty nutty. We make up ethereal thought forms (pressure) about an ethereal thought form (time) and then act as if it’s real and controls our lives. I often feel like the little kid in the Emperor’s New Clothes fairy tale. “There’s nothing there!”. I also like to contemplate the flip of something that’s not there. If there’s no-thing there, then what is there?

Ever realize that you somehow somewhen make a contract with yourself about how life was going to be? And it’s a crappy contract? Like mine this morning that seems to have something to do with “I’m never going to have what I want because nice things get taken away”. Except this is bullshit. I made it up. It’s not true. But I can look out into the the world and prove it to myself if I want. Or I can see it as an outdated rule that no longer applies. It’s really just ephemeral thought. A passing thought that I was fooled into thinking was true. Thinking about thinking. Ha! But I’ve spotted it now and if I leave it alone, it will dissolve back into the formless energy that it is. And the next time I think it, I’ll clock it pretty quick and then one day pretty soon I’ll forget to think it up at all. :)

And we’re back! Holidays are fun! However, I’m always excited to get back into creating new things and helping others love their life. I was reading a Rumi poem this morning “A Great Wagon”. There’s a part where he speaks of the movement of desire when he is with God or The Beloved. “You breathe; new shapes appear, and the music of a desire as widespread as Spring begins to move like a great wagon.” The feeling of that movement through me is what I am inspired by today. The desire of the Universe for me moving through me out into the world in creations. :)
19/12/2025 to 28/12/2025
Happiest of Holidays and Peaceful Holy Days to you and yours.

What would life look like if you didn’t micromanage yourself quite so much?
17/12/2025
I came across the idea, that a lot of people seem to agree with, of mental toughness. Apparently, one needs to train their mental abilities. This struck me as odd and I couldn’t put my finger on why. Everyone seems to agree with this, so it must be true, right? Hmmm…Except our mind (and Mind) is complete and whole and perfect to start with and never ever diminishes our whole lives. What is there to strengthen? Nothing. What people perceive as “weakness” is a lack of understanding of how the human mind works. It works perfectly as designed. We’re just using it without any understanding of it.

What’s the most fun thing you could do today?
15/12/2025
Yes it really really really is that simple. Extremely and radically so. Any complexity is human created. Also we are voracious creators. This combined with simplicity is so exciting to me. Life itself is terribly simple, feels gorgeous and we are unbelievably creative.

What if you could live your dream life? Actually?
13/12/2025
I came across this Bible verse recently and it really resonated for me. I love it. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God”. I note that it doesn’t say give thanks “for” all circumstances but rather “in” all circumstances. Magic happens in our lives when we rejoice and give thanks as a beginning point of life.

When you start with seeing the perfection in another person the whole conversation changes. What if you could see the perfection already present in everyone around you, in groups of people and in the world itself?
11/12/2025
What is it that enlivens you?
10/12/2025
Love. Love is in all things. It really really is. Even in the places we think it’s absent. Even. Love is often at the foundation of something and the expression of that love turns into say anger or frustration or hate. But it always starts with love. Perhaps a love of a way of life that you’re afraid will be taken away. Perhaps a love of a healthy body that you're afraid and angry that it doesn’t feel that way anymore. But everything begins with love. What if you just stayed with the love at the foundation of you? How would that feel different? How would it play out do you think?

She’s at it again. I’m enjoying things. Things I’m “not supposed to” enjoy. Like Quickbooks Online. Or having neck pain. Or wanting a delivery that hasn’t come yet and I want it so bad. It’s this super cool thing that I’m going to love and I want to play with it now. But it’s taking a long time and I want to stamp my feet and cry about it. It’s so fun. The whole damn thing is so fun.

Our brain/mind works like a projector. Playing the movie we wrote the script to, possibly years ago. And on a deeper level it feels to me that we are the energetic nexus that undifferentiated life energy coalesces around in a beautiful flowing dance.
07/12/2025
I love the moment just before I am aware that I’m waking up. It’s this warm floating love and joy feeling where I haven’t yet coalesced my identity or even where I am or even that I’m human. I’m warm floating love. This is who we all are before everything. Before thought and thinking, before identity, before personality, before the before. What if you could sense yourself as pure untethered love? No really what if? And how would that change your approach to life or your job or your family?
06/12/2025
Awakening is our natural state. It’s a whole different world and a whole different feeling of life. We flow naturally in and out of our thinking. We notice when we are caught up in thought. Usually after a minute or two. We are waking ourselves up to the present moment constantly all day long. It’s a built in feature of our system. We can completely trust in it and flow.
05/12/2025
Awakening. What is it to awaken to our spiritual nature? What are we awakening to? What are we awakening from? I’m seeing that the answer to both is the same. Everything. I just came across a quote “And the point is, to live everything.” -Rainer Maria Rilke.
04/12/2025
Connection. We connect with others by nature. Babies do this so easily. Two babies together of similar ages is so full of love and connection. I’ve seen babies reach over a pat each other’s cheeks and hug after a minute or two. When human beings are here and present, we connect naturally. It takes a fair bit of thought and thinking to feel separate from each other. I’m marvelling at the depth and ease of connection today.
03/12/2025
I do a weird thing in my thoughts where I ignore all the things I’ve got done in a day and focus solely on what I didn’t get done. It’s never a good idea and never feels good. Maybe I’ll stop now. I had never noticed this before. When you notice - that’s a wave of fresh new energy coming through to blow away the old no longer needed things. It’s our natural decluttering mechanism. Lovin’ it.
02/12/2025
I’ve long seen that when people stop trying to make a change and relax into life then paradoxically everything changes. It’s how we are made to function. We flow. But stopping trying often looks to people like you are giving up. I couldn’t understand why giving up on something that wasn’t working would be a problem. I noticed yesterday that there is a world of difference between giving up trying and resignation. One is freedom and the other is sad stuckness.

I was struck by reading the testimonials I posted on our results page how transformative transformative coaching actually is. People’s lives change immensely, for the better, effortlessly. Almost magically. At the same time I was reading a classic coaching book for coaches about being better coaches and all the amazing results in the book were kinda ho hum to me. This isn’t to ‘toot my own horn’ necessarily but rather to point out how as a society we’ve gotten used to accepting crap lives as “normal” and even a bit better is seen as miraculous. What about the actually miraculous?

I have noticed that often when enjoying something I will have a tension feeling that tells me I should be doing something “productive” but if I go to do something else the feeling stays. It’s not dependant on what I do rather what I think. It’s a habit and now that I’ve noticed it - it’s on it’s way out. I’ll never fully believe it again. It will die out. I notice and go back to enjoying. I’ll go have some birthday cake and watch Die Hard ‘cause we decorated for Christmas today.
29/11/2025
Today is my husband’s birthday! There is something particularly wonderful about just enjoying. And it’s especially gorgeously enjoyable to enjoy someone you love. I really love enjoyment.
28/11/2025
I love waking up to the quiet after a big snowstorm overnight. No sounds of cars outside, no alarms, only the snow day hush. It’s the luxuriousness of stretching into the quiet at the heart of who we are that I love so freaking much. :)
27/11/2025
Today I am fascinated by if I call the feeling of BEING, love, I will then pretty quickly pin it on someone or something outside of myself. However, spacious awareness is me. Lol. It’s really all me. Somehow, I think a feeling of love needs an outside source. In reality it all comes from within all the time. I can have ALL the love ALL the time whenever I want. That is AWESOME!
