Do you believe that there is a sacredness in the everyday, but you just don't feel like you can access it?
Do you ever feel like life woke up earlier than you and pulled you out of bed into its flurry of activity and expectations before you even got a chance to say yes to your day... let alone found time to sit with the sacredness of the morning?
Sometimes the sacred feels so out of reach.
But I'm here to tell you it's not.
It's available to you in this moment...
And this moment...
And this one.
One of my favorite concepts is:
"growing smaller and smaller until
we take over the world"
What does that even mean?
To me, it means that even though we are so thoroughly marinated in a society dictated by the belief that "bigger/faster/more is better", our souls know something truer.
Our souls remember the deeper truth that we must access the holy that is already present in our everyday lives through the hush of often un-celebrated tasks, choices, functions, and moments.
The good news is you can start right now.
And you don't have to do it alone.
I have a challenge for you - I dare you look around your life and consider who or what is "in it" with you - who or what "has your back"? But I'm asking you to suspend your assumptions about what makes a worthy ally for a moment...because your most steadfast supporters might be found in unexpected places, like:
your trusty living-room chair that you can rely on to hold you as you collapse at the end of the work day
the aroma or steam from your warm drink that offers you a quick reminder that savoring is still available to you if you will slow down a moment and give yourself to it
the colorful sunrise painted across the landscape and reflected off the windows and puddles and ice that reminds you that the world is still beautiful...
your favorite water bottle or car air freshener or warm socks..
Anything in your life can be an ally -
silently supporting you toward wellness and aliveness.
I challenge you to look around your life today and tomorrow - and notice the unexpected allies that are always calling you to connect with
the sacred in your every day.
Just notice them, name them, and perhaps - say a silent thank you to them (or not-so-silent if you prefer!) for their faithful support of your flourishing - even on the days you haven't had the time or made the space yourself to be intentional.
(PS - one of mine is Sour Patch Kids!)
