Celebrated 37 cycles around the sun yesterday, and I’m welcoming in the magic of my 38th year with joy in my heart and a twinkle in my eye! Here are some rainbow sprinkles I’ve received along the way… ⠀
1. Laugh. A lot. It’s the best medicine.
2. Always get yourself the flowers. And the chocolate.
3. Smile at strangers. You never know what people are going through.
4. Connect with nature. She is my bible.
5. Make stillness a priority.
6. Remember you have two ears and one mouth. Listen.
7. See through the lens of compassion. We’re all human. And we all struggle.
8. Take the scenic route. See the beauty that is all around and listen to the music!
9. Be kind. Be kind. Be kind.
10. Speak your truth. Even when it’s terrifying. Even if people don’t like it, they will respect that they know where you stand.
11. Remember your sacred no. One of the greatest forms of self love is boundaries.
12. Plants are our friends. Talk to them.
13. Tell all of your relations you love them – often.
14. Show them you love them even more often.
15. If you’re feeling stuck, move.
You got this, and nothing is permanent.
16. Know where your food comes from.
17. Talk to Creator like your best friend.
18. Bless up your water. You are co-creating your universe with the water of your body through the vibrations you hold within your being.
19. Live with intention. Your attention is your currency, and where you’re placing your attention is your intention. For better or for worse… 
20. Be mindful of your relationships. Everything is medicine. Everything is poison.
21. Sing! It’s nectar for the soul.
22. Get your feet and hands in the dirt. There are so many blessings in our connection with our Earth Mother.
23. Avoid plastic whenever possible, and don’t be wasteful.
24. Watch the sun rise and set whenever you can. This planet is breathtaking. Don’t forget to soak it up.
25. Dance! Move intuitively and connect to the rhythms of your body. So much wisdom is held there.
26. Floss your teeth.
27. Adopt some plant babies and nurture them like you would a child.
28. Make your bed everyday. Show up for your life.
29. Look yourself in the mirror everyday and tell that magical soul how much you love and believe in him/her!
30. Be vulnerable. Therein lies your strength.
31. Do the things that scare the shit out of you. That’s where the real magic is.
32. Remember that gratitude is the highest vibration in the cosmos.
33. Live the beauty way. Leave everything more beautiful and blessed than you found it.
34. Find where your joy and service intersect, and show up in devotion to it every single day. This is your purpose.
35. Be present with the altar of your heart. What are you allowing in your heart space? Better yet, create a living breathing altar in your home too, and pray with it every day.
36. Why, why worry? When you can pray. Fear is nothing but a negative fantasy about the future. You could fail, but what if you fly my darling?
Fear is nothing but a negative fantasy about the future. You could fail, but what if you fly my darling?37. What others think of you is none of your business. How you feel about yourself is your sacred responsibility to tend to with love and care.
38. Don’t take life too seriously. It’s all just a big, bold, beautiful, messy, precious dream.
