How to Have an Invincible New Year

invincible new year

Yahoo! A new post from the illustrious Tama Kieves, author of This Time I Dance! Creating The Work You Love. This week Tama inspires us with powerful tips on how to own your mojo into the new year. Thanks, Tama!

This year don't set hollow goals or inflated ones, ones that will make up for every choice you didn't make before. That's like getting out a whip-- and calling it a rose. This year I want you to cultivate a power and presence within you that allows you to choose your good all the time, that takes every circumstance of your life and makes it a crucible that uses all of you. You are so much more than one year can offer. You are so much more than a few paltry achievements, even if they sound like the moon to you.

The Parts That Hold Our Power

The Parts That Hold Our Power

Lately I’ve been on the verge of a shift. I’ve experienced a lot of them over the years – new living situations, new careers, new relationships. But this one is different. It’s like there’s a part of me that’s about to burst through and experience the world differently.  

The possibility of what it can be like feels liberating. There’s no more fear of what others will think. No more shakiness in my body. No more second thoughts about what I’m about to say or the decisions I’m about to make. It’s just an expression of my truth with confidence and ease.

I’ve always referred to this state as ‘expanding into my full power.’ Each person may have a different image or experience of what this can look like for them. I’ve often seen it as my warrior self who’s finally ready to take center stage.

Magical Eyes Gave Me Permission to Love ME

On my recent trip to New York, after much tweeting and Facebooking, I had the pleasure of meeting Sheena Young. I instantly fell in love with her. As we spoke over dinner and then a stroll in the park, we began to see how we might help each other through our passions. Lucky for all of us, I got to interview Sheena on what role Magical Eyes played in her life. Read More...

Meeting My Inner Judge

Yesterday I was on BART (the San Francisco bay area’s subway system), ironically on my way to a yoga immersion self-discovery workshop in San Francisco. I say "ironically" because about halfway there, I tuned into my thoughts (or, one voice among them) and was surprised by what I heard.

Living What Our Heart Knows

Letting it in

It came through me like a powerful wind.  I looked down at my hands and noticed I was no longer in complete control.  Certainly I was allowing it to happen.  But the words were writing themselves.  Whatever was coming out was now flowing through me, not from me.  I felt that if I paused, this wave of inspiration would be gone forever.  I raced to keep up with it.

Your One Wild and Precious Life

Summer_Day_013451_
Hello dearest pinkies! I thought of you all today when I heard about a poem by Mary Oliver, "The Summer Day," long a mainstay of college admissions processes and orientations. (I've pasted it at the bottom of this post.) My sister, Weez, tells me that it is my great hope in life to be employed as a professional student. She's right.
