July
Currently, Tennessee is overflowing with tart berries, juicy peaches, and peaches-and-cream corn. Fireflies flicker in the dusk, late sunsets bleed deep orange across the sky, and the feeling of warm pavement beneath bare feet at 11 p.m. spreads an instant smile across my face. I am a summer lover. My heart is so full this time of year from the abundance that surrounds me.
Instagram Scrolling - Comparison or Inspiration?
On a recent five-day trip to Colorado, I found myself scrolling social media far more than I typically do. Sitting in airports, snowed in and sub-zero temperatures are what I’m blaming my constant scrolling on. Sure, a book would have been a better option, but I chose to scroll because it was an easy, mindless distraction. What happened over 5 days of excessive scrolling, was I began to slip backwards. Not all at once, but it was a gradual recognition of old behaviors emerging.
If they all walk away, will I be ok….
4 weeks into the year and I can see how easy it can be to succumb to the underpulling of noise. My very well censored and curated emails, TV selections and even social feeds contain a tinge of fear and apprehension vibrating through them. I tell my self I know better to shift my energy there, but sometimes its like the addict that needs a fix, I become sucked in, and I wobble around sliding down the rabbit hole. I saw this unfolding the other day, and instead I marched myself out into the yard, looked at the birds, squirrels, bare trees, sunshine and felt my body recenter, and begin to unwind my pinned shoulder blades. I truly did not believe that this “get out into nature shit” would work years ago, but trust me it does! It naturally grounds you and centers you.
