I know that when I focus on what I have and not what I don't have, I feel grateful & blessed.
I know that when I say thank you, the sky opens up and says, you're welcome.
I know that everything around me just is, it's me that turns it into heaven or hell. And in any moment, with just a simple shift in focus, I can choose where I will go.
I know that beauty is absolutely everywhere and that when I look for it, I always find it.
I know that when I allow & welcome a feeling (rather than resist the hell out of it), however loud & scary it may seem, the feeling welcomes me. And a little breath of calm comes and makes the noise less noisy.
I know the answers are always here when I quiet down long enough to listen.
I know that I can drop the shit at any moment. Or just flush it down the toilet. I don't have to hold it anymore.
I know that when I step out of my comfort zone I usually become more comfortable.
I know that when I show up and just begin, the rest will take care of itself. And that "the rest" is really none of my business.
I know that when I nurture myself first, I give in a much fuller, more authentically loving way. And that when I give in this full authentically loving way, I simultaneously receive. And that there is no receiving fuller than this.
I know that when I speak the truth and nothing but the truth, I help others speak theirs.
I know that what I resist, persists. What I focus on, expands. And what I love, grows. Always.
I know that when I stop trying to figure it out with my little mind and ask for help, help comes.
I know that every small moment matters, however mundane and ordinary it may seem, and showing up for them fully - with presence and love- is what it means to be spiritual.
I know that this breath connects me to this life and I want to breathe it in fully.
I know that when I laugh, yuckiness goes pouring out & goodness comes pouring in.
I know that I don't want to wait until this or that happens to live fully. I can begin right now. Right now. Right now. And that you can too.
I know that my little, thinking, analytical, logical, trying-to-put-it-all-in a box mind doesn't really know anything and that when I acknowledge that I really don't know, there is room and space for that deeper part of me, the part of me that knows nothing outside of Love, to rise to the surface & reveal what is real and right and True.

Such resounding knowing here. Thank you. Thank you for holding the space of knowing, so that I can return there. Welcome home!
