My obsession of the day is the Goddess Guidebook written by Goddess Leonie, who I just totally adore. She is so full of joy and simple little nuggets of wisdom. She is so herself that I feel like she gives me permission to be myself, even to be silly and light and fun in my professional and everyday life. She also bears an uncanny resemblance to my dear friend, Laura, who is also a guru of mindfulness and spirituality.
Just now I curled up in the quilt my grandma made for me with a cup of coffee and the sound of my husband and boys playing in the backyard (ah, heaven!) and read her blog and watched a little video of hers.
I really like this video on how to give yourself what you need. I watched it a few weeks ago and realized that what I really needed at the time was to spend good quality time with my little boys enjoying the summer, so that is what I was able to focus on. I was able to put other things aside, realizing that there would be a time for work, for making our home beautiful, and everything else. It just took being still for one minute to figure out what I needed at that time. And I'm so glad I did. It has been a GREAT summer, and the boys have thrived with the attention. So have I.
I also love this one about overcoming the sense of overwhelm. Ever have so much going on or on your to do list that you don't know where to begin or how to attack it? I think we all do. This is a beautiful, simple approach to addressing that.
I love being able to tap into her joy and wisdom on her "Goddess TV channel" (yes, goddess TV. love it!) on YouTube any time I have a few minutes, and bringing more mindfulness to my life. I hope you do too!
