Gosh I love this post so much (and thank you as always for sharing what I do!). The play and curiosity piece has been a big nudge the universe has been sending me lately (and the energy of Ireland does that too!) - and every time I say “God / Universe, thank you for showing me just how magical life can be” or use the question: “I wonder what this is opening up for me?” The energy shifts around the change and everything feels lighter. It takes me out of control mode and into trust (self and universe) that I have all the skills to ride the wave and that if what I “plan” doesn’t happen it means that something better is designed on this intentional path. I also usually get a glimmer of the goodness that is to come!

There is so much power in talking to the universe. Indeed, it shifts us out of control mode and opens us up to wonder (I experienced so much of this in Ireland!). Thank you being a doorway to intuition and inspiration, my dear!

So much of this resonated with me but especially the one step at a time part. My tendency is to plow forward with new things in earnest, often at the detriment of other things in my life that are important to me. So this year I’ve been really focused on moving important things forward bit by bit, one step at a time as you say, with as much patience as I can muster.

Also, as you are always so good to remind us, to do what I can and surrender the rest.

I cannot wait to make those raspberry pistachio scones and I can’t wait to hear more about what’s next for you. Whatever it is, it’s bound to be brilliant.

Ahh, I also have the tendency to plow forward. It's been a real practice to slow down and to allow an intentional, turtle's pace (I literally just had to remind myself today that the path will unfold as I move ahead, and that it's okay that I can't see or even conceive of a finish line). Somehow your words landed at exactly the right moment. Step by step. Surrender. Ahh.

I hope you enjoy the scones my dear!

This post was perfectly timed. I mothered myself and my kids this morning and made a batch of these scones (subbing what I had on hand--chocolate chips and orange zest!). Sooo rewarding and yummy! Thank you ❤️

Chocolate chips and orange zest! What a beautiful combination. I love that you made these for yourself, and that you made them your own. Sending my love!
