Love & Life Elevated

Selfless service is all about the act of giving without the expectation that anything was coming back to you. It's known as karma yoga and I learned about it many years ago - when I was living in a small intentional community in Upstate New York.

Put love at the top of your list today. We pass through hundreds of doorways every single day, allowing us an opportunity to ask ourselves, what would love do now? Equinimity is the ability to find your way back to your heart. This practice will help you get there.

Our conscientiousness may affect the length of our telomeres. Set forth and intention and a vision for your life every day. Live your life on purpose. Be vulnerable. Be authentic.

As I celebrate my 58th birthday this year I am thrilled to report that according to science, this is supposed to be my "happiest year." Look at life as a teacher. Do you have any unfinished business? What does your life and your love look like when you're all in?

Who knew that yawning could be so good for us? Most of us try and stifle our yawns but I'm going to convince you those days are over. Yawning literally can increase clarity, creativity, cognition, memory, and recall. It connects with pleasure centers in our brain and helps us come back to presence.

How does your presence benefit others? It is time for us to challenge our own self-imposed status quo. Self-love and self-care as forms of social activism are no longer optional.

How do we be the channel for courage? It comes down to a pretty simple decision. Open up to courage, heart, truth, and love. Show up and live into your truth and your knowing. Decide you're going to be the channel for love, peace, and kindness.

Purpose is connected to so many beautiful qualities, including emotional contagion. This is where your dharma is contagious to others. Embrace your dharma. Go all in.

What inspires you to move your body every single day? Hint: It's not weight loss. Just three to five minutes of intense exercise makes all the difference in the world. It's about joy. It's about dance. Dance with purpose and intensity.

Smiling and laughter are the best medicine. Did you know the average two-year old laughs roughly 300 to 400 times a day? It takes the average 45-year old about 3 months to reach that same frequency. Intentionally connect to your joy. Have a great laugh on me.
