Happy Sunday Everyone! Do you know what your Soul desires? There’s a difference between what your ego wants and what your Soul wants. One way to know the difference is that often Soul Desires are with us for a looong time. Soul desires are usually quiet lingering desires that are like the embers of a flame waiting to ignite. Once you begin the journey towards fulfilling that Soul desire you simultaneously feel a great peace and calmness accompanied with ecstatic joy .... May today bring you clarity and joy. #soulsunday #souljourney #soulwork #selflove #selfcare #personalgrowth #selfrealization #inspiredliving #soulfulsunday See more

My youngest child’s high school graduation picture. This feels like such a long time ago; yet it’s only been 3.5 years. So much has happened in that time. - time goes by - doesn’t matter who you are, how old you are, or what you’re doing right now - the arrow of time moves forward for everyone. So if there’s something you’ve been wanting to do, try, start why not begin today? Even if it’s in a small symbolic way. ... Change doesn’t have to happen all at once. Yet changing one small thing sets in motion the vibrations for further change. Here’s to your health and ability to make whatever changes you desire #memories #throwbackthursday #movingforward #movingforwardinlife #settinggoals #smallchangesbigresults #youareenough #youmatter #celebrateyourself #liveinspired #inspiredliving #inspiredbykids See more

Just for today try to choose to do one thing that makes you happy, one thing that will contribute to good health, and find one thing that makes you feel hopeful. Remember that you are just as important as everyone else you care for. #selfcare #selflove #positivity ... #inspiredliving #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #havefun See more

On December 26/20, I posted that I was going to take action and move more and eat less. It’s been two weeks and I’ve gained so much in the process: mindful eating, intentional movement, and a conscious gratitude for what my body is able to do in the present moment. I’ve stopped longing for the ‘old’ me and I’m aspiring to become the ‘new’ me. (I’m excited to see what I’ll discover along the way. ) I’ve logged daily, reflected daily, and celebrated daily. I know that I ...have a long way to go until I reach my goal; I know that there’s much I still can’t do ... BUT there is so much I am able to do! I can walk for an hour without my knees hurting, I can be proud of my daily commitment to my physical and emotional health. And I can be honest and share that although I’ve lost 6 pounds, I don’t know what results the future weeks will bring. I don’t say this because I’m being negative or pessimistic but because I’ve learned, the hard way, the importance of detachment from results. You see, I know that I will do everything in my power to continually move forward with my goal to eat healthy, eat only when hungry, move more and focus on gaining strength, muscle and wisdom. My body will reshape itself to the best of my and its ability. I’ve learned that sometimes we need to dig really deep to uncover the secrets to our thoughts and actions- yes even coaches are human and continually learn about themselves- Well, I’ll stop for now but know that next Saturday there will be another update. ( and by the way... my BOB still doesn’t have sand so I have to do gentle kicksbut boy, oh boy am I looking forward to kicking him hard!) #saturdayvibes #saturdayshare #settinggoals #takingaction #takingactionnow #celebrateyourself #healthylifestyle #healthyliving #health #selfmotivation #feelingproud See more

Toby here reminding you to listen in today at 3:15 EST to @KellyCo as we discuss coping with challenges. #tobytuesday #resilience #overcomingobstacles #supportingparents ... #mentalhealthmatters #parentsofblindchildren #parentsofblindkids See more

Challenges and obstacles are a part of human existence. How we choose to cope with the difficulties we encounter, is what makes the difference to how we live our life. We can choose to remain bitter, angry and resentful when we realize that what we thought would be isn’t actually going to be our reality. Or we can allow ourselves to feel, grieve our loss and then move forward with courage, confidence and grace. ... No matter who you are, what you do, where you live we can all relate to overcoming some sort of challenge/s in life. For someone that challenge might be being dyslexic and learning how to read. For someone else they might have to learn about forgiveness and trust after being betrayed by a partner who has been unfaithful. For another person they might have to let go of their dream of being a professional hockey player, or parent because of reasons specific to their circumstances. And for a child who is blind or visually impaired one of the most difficult challenges they will face is learning and accepting that they will not be able to drive. We are more similar than dissimilar and I’m hoping that those of you who do not have to raise a child with a visual impairment will still tune into Kelly and Co this coming Tuesday January 26, at 3:15EST when we’ll be discussing the importance of having timely, honest and open conversations with our children. And if you don’t have a child, that’s okay because it’s just as important to have timely, honest and open conversations with our self and others we care about. And, of course, we’re also going to talk about how to cope and overcome challenges. So until then stay safe and know that you matter.

You need to look really carefully to see the white dove that’s sitting in the tree. This was last winter. One night this dove came and stayed in our tree a d backyard for about a month and then left. Since doves symbolize peace, I thought I’d post this today as the US begins a new journey with a new President. Wishing everyone, everywhere Peace #inspiredbynature ... #naturephotography #peace #peaceforall #inspiredliving #naturelovers #animalsymbolism #optimism #optimistic See more

Even amongst chaos there can exist peace. I was out almost all afternoon walking yesterday and so didn’t know until late in the evening what had transpired in the US. I’m still in shock. I did the only thing I could- I began clearing - utilizing the practice of Ho’oponopono , a Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness. In a nutshell, you accept responsibility for everything that crosses your path- I know that this might seem extreme, but it’s really about ...understanding that we are all interconnected. The four key phrases are: I love you, I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank-you. May we all experience peace. May we all contribute to peace. May we all be safe. #hooponopono #peace #freedom #love #inspiredbynature #inspiredbypeace #globalpeace
