THOUGHTS

IT'S OK NOT TO KNOW, YOU KNOW?

1/15/2020

This comes from one of my favorite kids books, Dear Boy. Personally, I find this reminder suiting for the new year. 

We're into a new decade now, you guys! Happy New Year! And oh my... it can feel BIG. Now I know I'm naturally sensitive to overwhelm, but the new year can bring up so much pressure to make a change, to have big plans and to determine all of our goals that we wish to accomplish in the coming year. 

Don't get me wrong, I am a HUGE advocate of goal setting. I know and have experienced the value of it, but only when the timing is right. When you are truly open to it. 

I don't know about you, but I typically need a good month to process the new year. I need time to recover from the holiday season, get my feet back on the ground and to really be curious about what arises. Sometimes it's comes in a visualization, sometimes a feeling, sometimes a mantra and sometimes a word that continues to cross my mind. 

What's the point of all this? My reminder to you that it's OK not to know what's ahead. It's OK to not have all the answers. It's OK to sit in the uncomfortable space between movement and reflection. I have learned, and continue to be reminded that the answers will come, time will tell and the Universe has your back. 

So what if we pushed the external pressures aside and gave ourselves [space] to be still and listen? To pursue our dreams and to always trust magic, as Paris Rosenthal states?

WHAT I'M EXCITED TO SHARE: 

I know it can be daunting to transition away from your favorite makeup brands, but I also know how important it is to make {safer} choices in what you put on your skin. If you have a clean brand you love - congrats! If you're still searching, I'd love to share the 'Flawless in Five' collection (above) from BeautyCounter. It's a six-piece customizable makeup set... AND it comes with a FREE retractable foundation brush until January 27!

As always, I offer 10% back (via venmo or paypal) for first-time BeautyCounter customers and all members get free shipping + 10% back in product credit!

WHAT I'M READING: 

Lately, I've been attempting to simultaneously read one book for fun and another for growth. This started when I was trying to read Daring Greatly last year before bed and I realized personal growth does not need to happen as my head hits the pillow. While it takes me longer to finish books, I'm loving this new rhythm and this is a favorite, as of late:

REVOLUTION OF THE SOUL - Seane Corn

If you're not familiar with Seane Corn, please get to know her. Not only is she a highly respected yoga teacher, but an activist who provides some raw honesty. It's incredibly interesting IMO. ​
