The gift of cloudy days

My experience of the day all depends on where I put my attention. As you move through your days, what are you paying attention to?

Embracing the inner observer

I’ve experienced quite a bit of deep transformation over the last six years or so, and one of the biggest keys to creating and maintaining the changes that have made up that transformation has been my deepening relationship with my inner observer.

Seeing what isn’t there (and not seeing what is)

Kenetha Personal growth September 23, 2015May 30, 2026awareness, expectations, mindfulness

Learning to see accurately and well in our daily interactions is something that requires work on our part to ensure that we are truly paying attention to what is in front of us and not being fooled by our many expectations, filters, and old baggage that often distorts our vision.

The danger of going unconscious

It’s easy to fall unconscious in the many patterns we have of reacting to life and miss what’s right in front of us so that we aren’t able to make the best decisions about this current moment.

What can you sit with?

I’m working to open myself more and more to the reality of all that life really is—not what I want it to be—by learning to sit more fully with all that comes.

Trimming my heart’s ivy

To live fully means opening myself to love what I love as deeply as I can in each moment knowing all the while that the day will come when I must let it go and having the ability to let it go without clinging when that day does come.

Being wholly alive to ALL of life

Truly mindful living in the moment means fully experiencing ALL of it—the pleasant, the comfortable, the positive, the mundane, the sublime, the unpleasant, the uncomfortable, and the painful.
