Sometimes we encounter situations that easily make us want to revert back to our "old ways". That without even thinking we catch ourselves saying and thinking things we've worked long and hard to break out of doing. I caught myself doing this recently as I began preparing for my upcoming vacation. Between catching a pretty [...]
Go easy on yourself. You're doing the best you can in this very moment, with the knowledge you currently have on hand. We can be so hard on ourselves and we can be our own worst enemies - especially right between the ears. So be gentle. Speak to yourself lovingly. Treat yourself with compassion and [...]
The events in your life are happening in the order in which they're happening for a reason. There's a purpose for it all. I know you don't always believe that, you may not even believe that right now as you are reading this - but it's true. Everything happens the moment we are ready. I [...]
Labels and judgment all stem from the ego. There is no good or bad, right or wrong, better than or less than. There is only our perception of what is happening in this moment. A lot of folks don't realize how far this actually extends. This is EVERYTHING - every relationship and every situation in life. When [...]
I caught myself worrying today. Worrying about presents and finances and time.

The Universe is always giving us directions, guidance, wisdom, hints and so on everywhere we look. If you follow me on Instagram (@ winkyboollc) then you would have seen the recent post about the magazine I found in the road that seemed to have a new message for me each day. I like to call [...]
In this present moment, what are you grateful for? The ego would always like us to believe, "it'll be better when...." But the only moment that is real is this moment right now. As we approach this Christmas week, stay present. Be present with your family and friends. Take in the banter and the noise [...]
You matter. Your feelings matter. How you feel about yourself...it matters most of all! Find time every single day to indulge in something...anything that brings you joy. Sometimes the day gets away from me and I don't get to do EVERYTHING I love, but I always make time to meditate and read. I also always [...]
