It’s my birthday week! I love birthdays! I love the fuss, the layered cake, the balloons and confetti, and being surprised. I love that birthday feeling when you wake up that says “Yay, this is my day!” Mostly I love celebrating people! So, in honor of my birthday, will you celebrate YOU this week? I'm totally serious. Here’s what I want…
MY SPIRITUALICIOUS BIRTHDAY WISH
Declare one day this week YOUR DAY (crowns are optional). Ask yourself: What do I want today? This is not a day for people-pleasing or accommodating or passing the buck on fun decisions. It’s a day to celebrate your particular desires and dreamings. It could be as simple as getting your favorite takeout, or skipping that daily chore you loathe, or making everyone watch your favorite movie (“Hey everybody, it’s time for Sound of Music!”). Of course, it could be bigger and bolder like getting a massage or cocktails with girlfriends or skipping work and taking a day trip!
Eat layered cake with lots of icing. Okay, if cake isn’t your thing, or icing, (not sure how we could be friends), then choose one other divinely delicious sweet treat to eat! You can share it with others if you’d like.
Do Keller’s favorite pastime: Reflect on your life. Ask yourself…
What moment(s) in your life did you feel most celebrated?
Who are the people who help you celebrate you?
What about you do you want to be most celebrated for?
How does it feel in your body to be celebrated?
Thank you dear companions for joining me on this wildly sacred and wonder-filled journey. Honoring the heart of who we are really makes it all worthwhile. Here's to the next 47 years.
DID YOU MISS ANY POSTS FROM THIS MONTH?
I am creating a curriculum of teachings and practical tools on how to connect with our spiritualicious Self. It's one thing to know the information in your head, it's another to embody it. That's what I offer. How do we DO this invisible, spiritual work in our everyday lives? The first lesson is: SLOW DOWN, DO LESS, REST MORE. In case you missed them, here are this past month's posts diving deeper into these lessons, including storytelling, practices, and reflection prompts.
