A quick story about a fish... (stay with me)


If you’ve watched Disneys “Soul”, you know the part of the movie where Joe realizes he doesn't feel any different after having his "big moment" he's been waiting for. It goes a little something like this:

I heard this story about a fish. He swims up to an older fish and says, "I’m trying to find this thing they call the ocean."

"The ocean?" says the older fish. "That’s what you’re in right now."

"This?" says the younger fish. "This is water. What I want is the ocean."

We often miss the very thing we’re searching for because it doesn’t look like we imagined.

Sometimes we’re so conditioned to strive, to chase, to want more, that we can’t recognize when we’re already inside the thing we thought we had to go find.

It’s a call to presence, to gratitude, and to reframing your lens.

Because maybe you’re not lost.

Maybe you’re not behind.

Maybe you’re just a fish, already in the ocean... & you haven’t realized it yet. 🐟

P.S: PLEASE GO WATCH THAT MOVIE IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY!

(Found on Pinterest, Artist Unknown) Good morning Reader, There's a part of you that's been trying to get your attention for years. 👀 You haven't been ignoring her on purpose...I know. 🫶 You've just been busy.

So when she showed up — through the headache that wouldn't quit, the tension you couldn't explain, the fatigue that no amount of sleep seemed to fix — you took note. Maybe you took a pill or something for...

Niet Invullen Voor Een Ander (NIVEA) It means: don't fill in the blanks for someone else. You know what they say about "assuming": it makes an ASS out of U and ME. 😉 We assume we know other peoples intentions... what they say, do, or don't do. It's a guessing game, not rooted in facts. We have a tendency to personalize a lot of what happens to us, & that's normal.. but I'm here to remind you that not everything is about you. We are all operating for our own level of perceptions,...

Good morning, Reader! It's my birthday today & I wanted to do something different: I decided to write a love letter to the women in my life. Because that is what I'm celebrating today. To the woman who drives across the state on a Friday night to Sacred Circle because something in her knows it matters. Who walks in tired, sometimes a little resistant, and leaves lighter than she came in. Who keeps coming back even when life is full of things asking for the same hours... To the women who found...
