I was looking thru my photos for something and came upon this
a long time ago and still pertinent
I tell my story so others can tell theirs

there is beauty for me
when I open myself to it
can I remember to breathe in the day?
can I remember to breathe in the light and joy?
let me see the love

I was leading a session on finding a path
in these hard times
we forget to savor the good
it doesn't lessen the pain
it gives us power
love yourself #FirstMostAlways

I recorded a podcast
I’ll let you know when it drops
I love telling my story when it helps
and when I get to add the now part of healing
of loving ourselves #FirstMostAlways

expectations are premeditated resentments
I heard that in #alanon long ago
I sometimes remember it
when I let life, the world, and you surprise me
I am joy'd

when there aren’t yellow birds
there are gorgeous yellow flowers
and my yellow converse
finding and creating the light love beauty and joy
it’s a choice

joy
beauty
love
amidst all the painful
it is there to notice
it’s a choice
healing and living is about holding space for the hard
and savoring the beauty

the joy of my yellow birds is that I made it up
I decided they meant joy and love
now they do
every time I see one, my heart lifts and joys and loves
they are extraordinary in their ordinariness

have you ever watched a little kid walk down the road
how they find beauty and delight in rocks or a brown leaf
how do we lose this finding of pleasures in the world?
more importantly, how do we get it back?

this is what I saw thru the window, so I had to step outside
and hear the birds as well
I knew with absolute certainty
this was all for me
it doesn’t matter if my certainty isn’t true
it filled me for the day

this is a weed
living its beauty
what about our weeds?
those parts of us we can’t stand
what if we shine our light and sunshine on them?
let them beautifully blossom
there is magnificence and magic there

I go so far to find joy that I make it up
I go so far to savor that I sometimes make it up
I look for and share what makes it worth savoring
what do you savor? what more can you savor?

I had cancer I just didn’t know it
the bliss of ignorance surrounding me is both beautiful and heartbreaking
what will I do with this wild and precious life

find the beauty and joy
bask in it
feel it
absorb it
I can't seem to remind myself of this enough
I go so far to find joy that I make it up - as I share in my keynote #FirstMostAlways
it still works to fuel and delight me

if I learned anything from cancer
it was to keep going, keep doing, keep dreaming
that is #FirstMostAlways - the next book and taking my keynote further
to dream
to do
to play
to engage
to inspire
to love and laugh and joy

I didn’t get to see this bird
I did get to hear it
imagine my delight when its yellowness and beauty matched the beauty of its song
they followed (or led) me to California
and spread the love and joy there too

I go so far to find joy that I make it up
that's a line in my keynote
I look for the beauty and awe, and I savor it and bask in it
so that it fills and fuels me
I see myself running and laughing with the stars
