Be kind to yourself, then let your kindness fill the world. Today especially. The childhood lesson we all learned should be in the backs of our mind, always. “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” Being kind heals and brings people together.

Some things I check in with myself about before talking...
💜Why am I talking? The acronym for this is W.A.I.T.
💜Does it add meaning and value to the conversation?
💜How will my words impact the person hearing them? We don't know if our words will trigger someone. Ask if the topic is a trigger for them.
💜Is this gossip? If it's not something I have permission to share or would hurt someone, it's probably not something I should say.
💜Does it add value to the conversation?

I don't always get it right but when I let my heart lead me, that's when the best conversations happen. Kindness is like dropping a stone into the water. In a blink it is gone but there are a hundred ripples that go on and on. Let's sprinkle kindness everywhere today...and every day after.

I am sending so much love and kindness to you today, my friends. Be gentle and kind with yourself and others.

I believe that there are certain people who are meant to be in our lives. These are the people that are weaved in through a situation or circumstance- in the studio, on a yoga retreat, or gathering. We often have strong soul ties to these people that may have no explanation. I see these connections happen all of the time and love watching the magic unfold.

These relationships are always there to help us, teach us, or grow us in some way. I fully trust in this. Some growth is hard and bumpy while others are smooth and beautiful. I’ve experienced both. There is a familiarity that can’t be explained. Sometimes those connections stay for a lifetime and others you say goodbye to. Learning to say good-bye with love and ease took time. The shift in mindset and including a "thank you" helped in my soul. "Thank you” for this connection, and sometimes a lesson, "I love you and good-bye." There is a saying that people are in your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.

Stay open and trust when someone seems to appear in your life at just the right time. There is a reason. These connections don't have to be members of your actual family, although they can be. Perhaps you can already identify some of these people in your life, people you feel very strongly connected to, or perhaps you have yet to meet them.

In either case, I have no doubt in my mind that you have a soul family, a group of people to whom you belong and feel at home with. You know them when you meet them. There is something there with a look, smile or an energetic feeling. Whatever it is, trust in it.

The universe weaves magic into our lives every day. Having these people in your life is part of your destiny, it is written in your soul contract, so you cannot and will not miss out on them. Divine timing, order, and orchestration will all come into play to ensure that your souls unite.

Let’s spend some time this week connecting with those that nourish and feed our soul.

🌕💫Super Blue Moon Vibes Tonight💫🌕
Do you use the full moon to manifest and dream? It's not a secret to anyone that knows me, a little or a lot, that I do. Does it help? I believe it all comes into play...some sprinkles of letting my imagination run wild, a dash of sharing my dreams out loud, good old-fashioned hard work, and believing there is still " magic" in the air. Things fall into place just as they should, it may not always be what we wished for, it could be even better! Sometimes it takes time. Inside of me is still that little girl that looks up at the stars and talks to anyone that might be listening, picks up feathers and heart shaped rocks, thanks a dragonfly for appearing, and I close my eyes every time I blow out a candle to make a wish.

The full moon is a time to dream, especially this full moon. It is supercharged and primed to help you manifest your dreams. The moon and position of the planets (I love and study astrology too) is perfect for trusting your intuition, feeling optimistic, and drive to take bold action with clear thoughts and communication at play.

As you sit under this full moon energy, what are your dreams? Embrace the energy to feel into what brings you joy and ask for that. Write it down, share it with a friend/family member, or whisper it into the air. I do this often when I am on walks. Sending the energy out into the ethers is powerful!
Happy full moon manifesting to you all!
Donna xx

P.S. If you have crystals don't forget to put them in the moonlight tonight to cleanse and charge. I like putting a glass of water out too. I whisper what I'm manifesting into it and then sip it in the morning. My daughter thinks it's funny. I do love the little things. :)

📷 A little pop of me in the corner here during a retreat in Belize TRYING to get one of those cool pictures that I see on social media with people holding the moon. Haha! It did not go how I thought it would, but I had fun trying!!! It's not perfect (nothing is) but it's real and shows a little glimpse of me and my full moon play time :)

And she stopped...
and she heard what the trees
said to her,
and she sat there for hours
not wanting to leave.
For the forest said nothing,
it just let her breathe.

Where do you go where you can just breathe? The forest, ocean, mountains, dessert…a combination or all? Remembering and retreating to those places and spaces that don’t need anything from you but your breath. 🌳 🌊 ⛰️ 🏝️
