Because I had decided so...
Hi Friends,
I wanted to send us all into the weekend with something uplifting, a little reflection and a lot of love. So I pulled out my book Enough as You Are, meditated on it for a few moments, and asked it to offer some words for this community. I flipped through the book with my eyes closed and landed on page 107.
I felt like doing my part I felt like doing my part to change the world, so I started by giving thanks for all the blessings in my life, rather than bemoaning all that was missing from it. Then I complimented my reflection in the mirror, instead of criticizing it as I usually did. Next I walked into my neighborhood and offered kindness to everyone I passed, whether or not they offered theirs to me. Each day I did these things, and soon they became habit. Each day I lived with more gratitude, more self-love, and more kindness. And sure enough, the world around me began to change. Because I had decided so, I was single-handedly doing my part to change it.
In the audio above I spend a few minutes diving deeper into the passage, and I hope I give you reason to consider living with more gratitude, more self-love, and more kindness. And remember, you’re worthy and enough, even if you don’t.
Let me know if you like this short recording format. I like connecting with you this way. I was doing it more often in the past but have gotten away from it. And, if you feel inspired, please share with us something you feel grateful for, something you love about yourself, or just some kind words for everyone here.
Wishing each of you a weekend filled with peace, connection, and more than one moment of delightful surprise.
I’m grateful for your presence here, and in our world. You make this place a much more beautiful place to be.
Big Big Love,
xoxo…Scott

HOW TO HAVE THE HARD CONVERSATIONS (YOU KEEP PUTTING OFF)
In this talk we're going to look at how we can communicate more effectively and compassionately, especially with the tough conversations we tend to avoid. Whether it's a romantic partner, co-worker, family member or dear friend, it is within you to be grounded and brave enough to show up — even initiate — the conversations you know you need to have, the ones you’ve been putting off, dreading, and making all kinds of excuses to avoid. Please have pen and paper handy in case you want to take some notes.
