This is how I want it all to feel…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I want waking up to feel like that first glorious inhale after having been underwater.

I want my days to feel like that one song (you know the one) that always moves you to tears with its meaning.

I want mealtime with my family to feel like a reunion of hearts.

I want my body to feel like silk in a strong breeze, fluid and graceful (like this video).

I want my friendships to feel like toasting marshmallows for s’mores around a cozy campfire.

I want my marriage to feel like not just a meeting of bodies… but also of minds, hearts, and souls.

I want my nervous system to feel like floating down a spring-fed river on a hot summer day.

I want my neighborhood to feel like a web of interconnected hearts.

I want my home to feel like filling a bucket from a super-deep, pure well.

I want my life to feel like watching the sun setting into the Gulf of Mexico.

I want making money to feel like opening the perfect gift from someone I love.

I want paying bills to feel like bowing deeply in respect and gratitude.

I want giving to feel like receiving.

I want laughter to feel like wind chimes in a gentle thunderstorm.

I want my end-of-day to feel like a whispered ‘thank-you’, from the heart, on a long exhale.

I want challenges to feel like climbing a beautiful stone staircase hidden in the forest.

I want writing to feel like sipping cold water from a red licorice straw.

I want creating to feel like a fountain of joy-bubbles.

I want connecting to feel like seeing a dear friend after a prolonged absence.

I want my heart to feel like a white sandy beach on Anna Maria Island.

You know what to do, chicky… spill it.
