  • Episode 51: Be Patient Toward All that is Unsolved in Your Heart - Weekly Lift-Off Minisode

    In today's Minisode, I discuss this quote by Rainer Maria Rilke:

    “Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”

    This quote is exactly where I am currently in my life.  Maybe, you are also there in your own life.  My hope is that today's episode will bring some comfort and support to you.  ❤️

    Much Love, Darlene Michele 🦋

  • Episode 49: Embracing Every Part of Ourselves - Weekly Lift-Off Minisode

    In this weeks's Minisode I discuss this quote by Thich Nhat Hanh:

    "The meditator breathes in and says, "Hello my fear, my anger, my despair.  I will take good care of you."  

    This quote gives a lovely picture of how we heal our relationship with ourself.  This is what I learned to do with myself.  Love and accept every part of me.   ❤️

  • Episode 47: Finding Comfort in Tragedy - Weekly Lift-Off Minisode

    Today I discuss this quote from Fred Rogers:

    "When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers.  You will always find people who are helping."  To this day, especially in times of "disaster", I remember my mother's words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers - so many caring people in this world."  

    There's a reason the words of Mr. Rogers make an appearance during times of challenge and tragedy.  I discuss this quote in the context of the current global events, and also in our personal lives.

  • Episode 46: When We are Sitting in the Questions

    In today's episode I share more of my experience as I sit in the midst of many questions for myself and my future direction in life.  

    If you are in such a place, too, my hope is that this episode will help you feel that you are not alone.   ❤️

    Much Love, Darlene Michele 🦋
