15 Flavors of Insight

15 flavors of insight:


  1. Ahhh, I get it now (usually accompanied by a feeling of contentment)


  1. Chills in the body (just plain delightful)


  1. Of course! (usually accompanied by the throwing up of arms in a haphazard fashion)


  1. I think I already knew that…(usually accompanied by a feeling of validation)


  1. It  just...feels right…(usually accompanied by a subtle dismissal to lingering doubt)


  1. F*cking Duh (usually accompanied by a roll of the eyes)


  1. Stillness (like the sound when submerged in water)


  1. Smack in the forehead (both literally and figuratively)


  1. A quiet knowing (deep down, in the depths of the heart or gut)


  1.  Recognition of self in another entity (person, book, movie, song, sculpture, doesn’t matter the medium)


  1. Overwhelming feeling of _________ (hopefully bliss, often sadness, can be anything in between) 


  1. Involuntary tears (happy or sad, usually accompanied by an attempt to keep them bottled up)


  1. Widening of the eyes and feeling of mind being blown (usually accompanied by a favored explicative)


  1. Any variety of knowing in the body (bones, heart, gut, pinky toe (no part is unqualified))


  1. Settling on the truth and the ego naysays (usually in similar fashion to a politician in a televised debate)


  1. Any damn way you know you know (You are the expert on you, afterall)

Life is to be enjoyed. I don’t think it’s meant to be heavy or hard...I don’t agree with Coolio that “life's a bitch and then you die, still trying to get a piece of that apple pie” Mmmm apple pie. It’s unnecessary to create problems where there are none (my personal M.O. for the last 30 years). Yes, I feel super tired and fatigued every day and I am not ‘successful’ in the way that my head would like me to be, but there’s nothing wrong with that. So what if I need coffee to feel good at this point in my life? What if I just accepted my patterns? Would they still persist? I don’t know how to strike a balance. I get really high highs and create like crazy, I work out hard and I work hard and everything is great; there is lots of connection and laughter with my husband and my kiddo and the world seems amazing. There is magic and miracles and opportunities show up out of nowhere. I’m grateful, faithful, and content. Then something happens. I wake up a little more fatigued one day, I ...

I think this was a pep talk at one point...

The second we declare we are something the moment has passed and we are no longer that thing. The beauty of this is that as quickly as we can get rocked, we can just as quickly be delighted Get back to that feeling, get back to your truth. Focus your mind on what you know you are capable of. Forget the problems, they are an illusion. Do it simply because it feels right. There’s something about doing something blindly for no other reason than you know it’s the thing to be doing. I don’t understand any of this, all I know is that it feels right. I’ll let go of the rest. I’m actually, really committed to not knowing and doing it anyway. For me, that is more than enough. Start to pay attention to your body, check in every once in a while and notice what you’re feeling. Follow the lightness...lightness leads to goodness. Thinking is your handicap I am not my feelings When you are boldly all of you, some people won’t like you and that is a good thing because it’s not about getting everyone t...
