DEVOTION IS A PRACTICE
WHAT IS SACRED TO YOU?
Do you stay the course?
Do you show up regularly?
DO you do what you say you'll do?
The word "SACRED" is bandied about a lot these days. Does it hold TRUE meaning for you? No judgment or shame needed... but please check in here.
Be willing to ask yourself big questions.
when do your priorities get sloppy?
wheRE do you go complacent?
can you pause but not quit?
are you too distractible?
Whether in the realm of relationships.... faith... principle... path... project... or promise,
I believe to declare something as sacred, we must practice the art of devotion.
But don't be daunted.

SACRED CAN BE CLAIMED
Now I get it. Some part of you - or perhaps all of you - may NOT be on board.
This notion of DEVOTION could:
feel sappy or ridiculous
seem unrelated to your goals + pursuits
have been modeled to you as blind fanaticism
appear out of reach with your current life demands
And still - MY INVITATION is to find what matters, and bring yourself to it fully... and soon.
We can implement and integrate dedicated focus without veering into territories of obsession or over-sacrifice.
Modern life is demanding and chaotic, yes. And, I'd be willing to bet that in your life, right now, you can find devotional space and time for what is vital to YOUR wholeness and wellness... or OUR WORLD'S wholeness and wellness.
We are masterful creatures when it comes to stuffing non-essential activities into our buckets of availability. Pair this with possible fears about what is calling out to you being too much... too hard... too big... and it becomes more clear why we resist. But hear this...
Devotion is not suffering.
Sacred is not perfection.
Commitment. Persistence. Consistency.
These are the skills to hone... the tools to wield.
Clarity. Vision. Purpose.
These are the pieces you'll define, hold and adjust along the way. And the good news is...
Awareness + Willingness is all
you need to make a start.
SHOW UP ~ DO THE WORK ~ TAKE THE TIME
BECOME A DEVOTEE TO WHAT MATTERS TO YOU.
You are needed!
If you recognize a truth, a pull or something here niggling at you down deep or perhaps from seemingly far off, sit with it for a bit. Let it marinate in you for awhile. If you'd like to hear more about my process for LIVING THE QUESTIONS, watch my video about RECONCILING EXPANSION WITH SECURITY.
Should you require or desire support for your process, I offer PERSONAL PATH GUIDANCE SESSIONS for sensitive + spiritual beings.
LOVING ME / ROOTING FOR YOU,
