Acknowledging Where We Are To Get To Where We Want To Be
I am so grateful for Eliza's (she/her) reminder yesterday...for the permission her post offers me.
Because I have a pretty great relationship with gratitude. I come into celebration and thankfulness and gratitude quite easily.
And yesterday as I was acknowledging a lighter aspect of US Thanksgiving,
in addition to acknowledging National Day of Mourning and learning deeper around the myths and erasure of indigenous people,
I found I could barely lean into gratitude without a spring of grief upwelling right next to it.
This is how you can honor your body's wisdom and sensitize to the celebrations of life
When I sit down to write to you, I consider what I'm going through, what I'm learning, and what I need.
I also pour over the threads I witness weaving themselves through the lives of my clients.
Yesterday some pain in my body had moved on, and I felt a sense of joy and happiness reignite within.
This is how to acknowledge your 2019 relationship and set up for deeper connection in 2020
In that liminal space between the December holidays and the coming of the Gregorian calendar's new year,

I find myself reviewing 2019 to acknowledge and celebrate,
and also so I can heal and grow and flourish in 2020.
Anniversaries and Next-Level Adventures
Three weeks ago Shaun and I celebrated the one-year anniversary of the Epic Couples Podcast.
On the show we explored the last 45 episodes (along with a few that didn't get publicly shared) and talked about our favorite moments and the ones that made us cringe. (You can listen to it here or on Apple or Android podcast apps.)
