your daily rock : sing out!
I’m not a singer by any means. But it feels so good to let loose. So when Tess and I go on errands in the car, we sing. Loudly. Sometimes it is a rousing and endless rendition of “She’ll be coming ’round the mountain when she comes” in which we …

Practice bending today. Love, (These beautifully painted rocks are created by Kim Mailhot, aka The Rock Fairy.
your daily rock : daydream
Find 5 or 10 minutes today (or more if you can, but I know you’re busy on Facebook) to simply daydream. Eyes open, or closed. Sitting or standing. Outside or inside, let your mind wander. Watch clouds, envision a change you want to make in your house, your body, your …

your daily rock : show compassion
Compassion, like love, is unconditional. Otherwise, it’s not compassion, is it? Showing compassion for people who argue with you, who spout awful things on Facebook, who hurt you–that’s the real work. Showing compassion for people who agree with you, who post beautiful things on Facebook, and who would never hurt …
your daily rock : stay grounded
Get barefoot. Go stand in the grass for a few minutes today. Don’t underestimate the power of nature to ground you. Love, (These beautifully painted rocks are created by Kim Mailhot, aka The Rock Fairy.
your daily rock : be delighted
As kids, we are wildly delighted by CARDBOARD BOXES! LADYBUGS! CAMERAS! TRAINS! LIGHT SWITCHES! As adults, we hide our delight. Today, allow yourself to be delighted by everything you see. You will feel lighter and happier, I promise. Love, (These beautifully painted rocks are created by Kim …
your daily rock : find courage
I wonder if we really find courage. Or if we had it all along, and it was just dormant or hidden or inaccessible. I think we’re born with an amazing courageousness. And we let it get small and hidden by comparing ourselves with others, absorbing the stories that other people …
