There have been so many times in my life I have been waiting to arrive. As soon as I get married... finish grad school... buy a house... become a licensed social worker... have another baby... find a better job... complete this training... pay off my students loans... THEN life will be {fill in the blank} easier, more balanced, perfect, more complete, happier. It’s an easy trap...that I have been stuck in many times. The other side of arrival holds such allure. While circumstances may be a piece of the puzzle, so much of finding ease, peace and happiness is an inside job. There is no arriving in this life. It is more of a continuous unfolding, an evolution. And it turns out that what we are looking for available in the here and now. 🌱 #contentment #peace #love #balance #ease #sukha #sthira #santosha #108daypilgrim

everything is all right. 🌺 #108daypilgrim #beauty #allright #yogaliving #beautifullife #mindfullife #mindfulness #yoga #thisismyyoga

I remember the first time I heard this from my clinical supervisor and I didn’t really “get it”. Boundaries seemed harsh, like I wasn’t being a good social worker if I had boundaries. It took getting myself into sticky situations, where I had over stepped my role to help me understand that boundaries are way of expressing kindness. 🍃 I now see how my thinking was skewed to believe that being a martyr made me think I was doing my job well, when in fact it did not serve me or the those I worked with. 🍃 This was revolutionary to me. 🍃 Now I understand that boundaries are about transparency. Being clear about what I can and cannot do realistically. It is dishonest to give false hope. It can be as simple as being clear that I only return calls on the days that I’m in the office, to having clear conversations about a patient’s right to consent to services, and to change their mind and revoke consent. And of course this extends outside of a clinical setting and it useful in all relationships. Boundaries are about communicating needs and letting others know where you stand. Boundaries are about radical kindness. 🍃 This is part of a request to share more about social work and mental health here. Of course, it’s all connected to the yoga we do too. #socialwork #socialworker #boundariesarekind #boundaries #kindness #yogalife #yogaliving

Here’s one from the archives. Last year. With my 3 week old babe. Remembering that soft belly. The achy-ness of my newly postpartum body. How that baby fit so perfectly sleeping on my lap. And gently, tenderly moving into all the changes within. 💗💗💗 ✨ Sharing this and reflecting on @empoweredbirthproject and the idea to #nourishthematriarchy, because fighting the patriarchy feels too heavy some days. Embrace the feminine. The softness that leads to creation and creativity. Some change comes through resistance. Some comes through tenderness, opening and moves subtly, like the wisdom of nature. Hope you all are being extra kind to yourself these days. #4thtriyoga #4thtrimester #takebackpostpartum #108daypilgrim

Life is full and moves so quickly. And then there are moments, seconds really, that life offers a brief pause and there is so much beauty. 🌹 #108daypilgrim #beauty #pause #mindfulness #latesummerbloom #rose #autumn #pdx #mindfulmama
