THIS WEEK'S MESSAGE: Today's Fireside is asking you to first find your center, to be in deep witness to yourself and your heart. What is asking to be felt or acknowledged? There's also a piece of looking and leaning into your life as a living altar; what are you placing on it? What need to be removed? Each and every day you are living in deliberate action or reaction... where is it time to be more intentional? Where also can you find the magic of BEING in process and slowing down to allow that deliberate attention and focus to fall on YOU?

QUOTES FROM THE EPISODE

"Sometimes, my heart is so open

I can’t tell if it is a gaping wound

Or a portal for everything that ever was and ever will be.

I’ve learned to Love the beautiful terror of eternity,

And scenario planning for how shattered I could be

If the dark things got tall

And if I fell back backwards and my forgetting of the light.

But you can’t fall backwards in space,

You can only only only ever unfurl.

More than anything,

I’ve wed the certainty that nothing changes without me —

Not coal becoming diamonds

Not fertilizing eggs

Or migration patterns

Or medicine dreams.

And what I thought was Annette cast to me from a higher God

Is actually strands of truth and filaments of desire

That I have tied together with my own two hands.

And in precious encounters, I tie what I know and want to you,

So we can ride the winds of wonder. "

- Danielle Laporte, "White Hot Truth"

"In a state of flow, the activity in the frontal lobe is reduced, it is almost shut down — and it is in the frontal lobe the abilit for abstract thinking is situated, the planning for the future and the sense of self. Everything that makes us human, in other words, and that makes perfect sense: You lost yourself and sink into a state of pure being, linke an animal— belonging to the world, not to yourself." - Karl Ove Knausgaard

THIS WEEK'S MESSAGE: Today's Fireside is asking you to bring your "weird" full, authentic self to the table... that is the healing that you're here to bring. BEING YOURSELF. The origin of the word 'weird' actually is 'wyrd' and meant destiny. I shared two stories today of powerful women following their weird and changing the landscape of the industries that they touched.
