Every Friday I intend to share some of the quotes I post on Twitter and Facebook, with some of my expanded thoughts and feelings on it here.

“Organic Wisdom” is what I have found speaking to me in those quiet moments, that guides me and that echoes Truth in my life. Please feel free to download, or share this image in any way you’d like.

How many times have you said, “You’re making mommy sad.”

Or maybe “He made me so angry.”

Yeah, I’ve done it too. And guess what? It’s an excuse.

It’s not my child’s job to make me happy. It’s his job to explore life, learn and grow, make mistakes and make messes. Not carry the burden of what others will think or feel about Who He Is.

And my anger? Comes from me, baby. No one else can “make” me angry. They can only offer me the mirror to reflect on the angry I’m holding within me.

It’s not their job to make me happy.

It’s their job to show me how I can choose love and happiness in any moment.

Our job is unconditional love. The job of everyone else in our life is to push our buttons. (Byron Katie)

When we give the responsibility of our happiness to someone else, we take it out of our own reach and we place it as a burden on them. Then they no longer have the ability increase their own joy and we no longer have the ability to celebrate and share in joy together.

Two people, twice as unhappy.

How would it feel to instead choose happiness and peace regardless of what someone else felt capable of doing or feeling in that moment?

How would it increase the very thing being sought after?

Being busy sucks, and it’s toxic if it’s not a good busy. Our busy has been both good and bad, full of stress and overflowing with goodness. Ah, contrast…

May’s Newness ::

♥ I’ve tweaked a few things on my site and am loving my new header and the new layout for my tools. I’ve also fixed the annoyng issue of the font not working in Chrome. Since my new design launched in March it’s been nonstop tweaking and fixing. Let me know what you think or if anything isn’t working properly for you!

♥ The Organic Business Mastermind is running again for the third time. We start on Monday!! (There are still last minute spots open if you’re ready to jump in now!) I’m really excited for these groups. Thriving to me means doing what we love and are called to do. Making that happen for myself, helping other women make that happen…it lights me up like no other.

♥ The Conscious Caravan is officially launching for the summer! We are traveling with a tribe of families to inspire, connect and educate families in communities around the country. These families fill my heart so much, I can’t even put it into words yet. (Hop over here to contribute to our outreach and get goodies from me and the rest of the Caravan!)

May’s Highlights

Here are some of the popular posts from this month:

♥ Yes, You Survived – Have you ever had someone reply to you that they “survived being spanked” as a child and so will their children? Send them this post.

♥ Connecting With Children Doesn’t Have To Be Awkward – It used to be awkward for me to connect with children. But then I started meeting children who insisted I get over that.

♥ The Mother’s Day Meditation – If you haven’t grabbed it yet, you still can download it for free here.

♥ Making Time Together :: Yoga in the Woods – I’m sharing this one just so everyone can see my rockstar partner do the wheel.

Inspiration from May

♥ Best. proposal. ever.

This video doesn’t even need an intro:

♥ Okay so this may not be real but it’s a damn good story about how Lincoln thought up Facebook first anyway.

♥ We missed the solar eclipse being on the East Coast but I’m hoping we get to see the transit of Venus next week!

♥ I love personal growth. Bit of a junkie actually. I’m also a bit of an organizational junkie (which you wouldn’t know if you saw my RV right now). Which is why I like this article on developing your own personal curriculum.

♥ I work with so many women (every one of them and myself included actually) on the messages we picked up on as children and how they are still influencing us. Here are three of the most popular we are inadvertently teaching our kids.

♥ Okay, this is just plain cool. You really have to take a moment for your eyes to compute these are NOT real fish! Be sure to read how he creates them – one layer at a time!!

♥ How fascinating is this idea, to find a whole sea of creatures on a moon?

Now, let me preface by saying I don’t think it’s beneficial to focus on the number of comments you’re getting (or not getting) on your blog.

Tracking comment stats is one of the worst indicators of a thriving blog.

In fact, since turning my comments back on, I get very few comments compared to previously. And if you’re on Facebook or Twitter, you’ll likely find you get more interaction there since those sites are meant to be more social anyway.

So before we even look at any tips to get blog comments coming in, I want to talk about INTENTION.

It’s important to know yourself and know why this topic matters (or if it really matters). Do you:

• Hope it will increase readership?
• Want to experience more connection with readers?
• Wish to facilitate connection in others?
• Use it to bolster your own sense of approval?
• Just think a successful blog “should” have lots of comments?

Examine your deeper reasons and align yourself with an intention that resonates with you, hopefully one based on something other than “should”, “have to”, scarcity or fear in any other form. Question any assumptions as well, because you’ll always find exceptions to the “rule”, which means this really can be done in any way that feels like a beautiful fit for you and your higher intentions.

Once you feel aligned then move through these tips to help you meet your goals.

1. Quit Taking It Personally

Why is this first? Because if you’re feeling triggered or upset in any way you’re going to create an experience based on yuck and funk, instead of one based on love and trust. And yuck and funk don’t serve you and your goals.

For a number of reasons, most people won’t comment and it has nothing to do with you or what you’re writing. (It’s not all about us after all, )

People are busy. They may love your stuff but in order to have time to read it at all it means they don’t have time to reply. Some just don’t like commenting, others don’t feel they have anything to add, a few think it’s dangerous, a couple don’t know how it works or even know they can, and more have even more varying reasons.

There are things you can and probably will want to examine in order to increase blog comments, but for the most part…

The people you have the biggest impression on may never say a word.

This is okay. All is still well in your world.

My Suggestion :: Before you write, connect to your Truth, your purpose, your authentic voice and the intention you set above. Lean into Trust that your words will reach the right people in the right time. Release all else.

2. Make It Stand Out

Lots of people write blog posts that are interesting or inspiring to PERUSE on a Sunday afternoon but don’t exactly leave an impression.

If your blog posts aren’t remarkable, they won’t be remark-able.

This is one part Taking a Stand (mixed in with a fair amount of Not Afraid to Ruffle a Few Feathers), one part Saying Something New and one part Making a Real Impact. Not fluff or wave-making for the sake of filling space or getting reactions. But honest-to-goodness words that will intrigue, inspire or help someone in some way. Things that make you go hmmmm or Aha!

(Don’t go overboard on sensationalizing every blog post you write. Just ask yourself “what makes this post remark-able?”.)

My Suggestion :: As you write, connect to your core and allow the words to flow from you, leaning into the Trust that it’s safe (as well as important) for you to speak from your heart on important and sensitive topics.

3. Make Your Blog Posts “Legible”

Obviously, I don’t mean your handwriting style. But your style of editing matters in getting readers and thus to get blog comments.

• Is your blog post giant paragraphs of words or do they alternate in their number of lines so as to create a flow for the eye?
• Do you use photos, blockquotes, bullet points, sizes and colors too much or not enough?
• Is your font fancy and hard to read, or do you have light-colored fonts on dark background?
• Is it too small or too large?
• Are your colors reflective of you without being too overwhelming (primary or neon colors can be too much for a lot of eyes)?

Basically, is your post easy to read AND visually appealing?

A possible way to judge this is by finding out of whether people are even staying on the page long enough to read the content by installing Google Analytics. Check for the average time spent on a page (for a blog post, it should be a couple minutes). This will tell you if people are hanging around or jumping ship as soon as they land – if this is something like 10 seconds than they probably aren’t liking the first impression they are getting or the visuals they are seeing (or music they are hearing – seriously, turn that thing off. I’m going to pull a number out of thin air and say that about 97% of people hate the surprise of music, even if they love the music).

My Suggestion :: Do a blog assessment from a reader’s point-of-view, and from your Analytics point-of-view, or ask for some gentle feedback from someone you love.

4. Make commenting easy to do.

Spam filters are a must to make it easy for you. Captcha is good too. Moderation is good if it works for your schedule and doesn’t keep them waiting for days to see their comment go live. (WordPress allows you to only moderate first-time commenters, which is very helpful.)

But make it easy for readers:

• Can they find comments or is the placement of the “comment here” link complicated?
• Is it complicated (like Disqus or RealID)?
• Would they like or dislike Facebook comments instead?
• Is your Captcha a total butthole and difficult to read?
• Do you have to be logged in or can it be anonymous or custom (specifically talking to Blogger users here)?
• What about the words? Is it the plain “Leave a comment” or something more clever?
• Is it so clever it doesn’t make sense to others?
• Is it too wordy?

Remember that the options will look different to you if you’re logged in, as well as if people are trying to access it from their smartphones.

My Suggestion :: Do a comment system assessment and look for alternatives to anything less than easy-breezy.

5. Ask for and create engagement.

Asking for engagement might be a simple “I’d really love to know you’re out there; please say hi” or it might be a question you ask at the end. Keep in mind that the post has to be something worth commenting on (see #2).

Creating engagement is usually done through answering questions or adding your own replies to theirs. (Be genuine with this.) Another way to create engagement is to share your post on social media mentioning the conversation happening in the comments and asking for more viewpoints. (Again, be genuine and aligned with your intentions.) You can also ask readers to share any remark-able posts, since it seems to be new readers that often do the most commenting.

But I’d also recommend asking yourself some questions.

• What kind of comments do you want?
• What kind of person would you like to comment?
• And what kind of things do you feel if you get no (or no positive) comments? (DIG IN to those feelings so you can be free of them and continue to do what you do authentically.)

My Suggestion :: List a few possible ways to ask for and get the kind of comments you want from the kind of readers you love, experiment with your ideas one at a time, and watch your feedback (comments and analytics) to see what works for you.

6. Stay focused.

If your blog is new, remember that there are a gazillion bloggers out there trying to get their start too. It takes time, and an investment of your energy to bring in the right people and then only about 20% of them will actually EVER comment.

Be patient and connect to your intention again and again.

If your blog is also your business, keep in mind that comments do NOT equal success. Very financially UNsuccessful bloggers have TONS of comments. And there are very successful businesses that are making 6-7 figures and getting no comments at all. Your blog comments have nothing to do with your success (unless of course you’re spending all your time trying to get comments instead of actually doing the things that will support your business – oh snap! Yeah, I called you out!).

My Suggestion :: Put your energy into the projects, tasks and areas that matter first – creating something worth consuming and getting it out to the right people. Trust the process of all else.

And let me add a seventh…

Experiment. Try new things. Keep track of the results. Do what works for your spirit first and then what works to get blog comments.

What about you: What’s your perspective?

Do you comment or rarely comment? Do you feel like no one is listening if you get no comments? Do you have a comment policy or a tip of your own you could share?

Busy and “bad timing” are going to be the excuses we use for our entire life until one day we realize that “busy” is something we create to avoid the Big Dreams telling us it actually IS time.

• “It’s not a good time to start eating healthier. I’m too busy to get myself feeling well.”
• “It’s not a good time to follow my dreams. The market is crap right now.”
• “It’s not a good time to talk about this. I have too much going on.”
• “I’m just too busy, but when things slow down…”

But is that even possible?  Aren’t we “too busy” for things to slow down?

Don’t wait for some magical day when the Universe reorders itself to create some impossible gap in your busy schedule to finally do what your heart, your family, your Life is aching for.

It’s not going to happen.

Instead the Universe is going to give you a dream and say “If you say you’re ready, I’ll support you. I’ll start by showing you what you get to let go of and what fears and ideas you get to examine, so that you can make a place for this in your life.”

Don’t get to the end of your life and wish you had started living years ago when hindsight suddenly shows you just how right the timing actually was.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

This is a friendly reminder: The summer course for the business mastermind begins June 4th, just a little over a week away.

What sets this group apart? It includes:

• The nitty-gritty, step-by-step, “How-do-I” coaching to simplify the process
• Powerful built-in systems of support from like-minded sisters
• And guidance to DIG IN, overcome your fears and blocks, and not get stuck in the paralyzing “Holy-crap-what-am-I-doing-what-will-others-think” syndrome

There are still spaces available but it’s filling up with just over a week to go.

If you feel that resonating pull, click here for all the details.

• Work or want to work for yourself doing something you love that also makes a difference in the lives of others?
• Have a current blog, business or Big Idea but have no idea where to go with it (or even where to start)?
• Want the wisdom of 10+ personal years and 3 generations of entrepreneurial experience, coupled with powerful intuition and guidance, to help you strategize, design, and recreate your business into something successful?

Are you ::

Would you ::

• Like to make $2,000-$10,000 a month working less than 20 hours a week?
• Benefit from a group learning experience, where others may ask questions you forgot and where you can riff off one another to brainstorm incredible possibilities together?
• Like to overcome your fear of putting yourself out there or not being good enough?

The summer Mastermind course is open for registration and is already filling up!

Masterminds are 8 week programs consisting of a small group of women looking to expand their dreams and ideas into something that will bring in a real, sustainable and organic income – something that will support their families, their lifestyles AND their values.

This is for you if you,

1. have an existing idea and aren’t sure how to get started or what to do with it
2. have an existing business in the beginning to mid-stages of growth (or stagnation) and,
3. are ready to commit to your group, yourself and your dreams. This program most benefits those who have an online business (or want a stronger online presence), and/or offer services and information.

This is NOT a blogging e-course. This is NOT for the hobbyist.

This is for the woman who is ready to take her blog or her hobby to another level.

This is for the woman who is ready to start playing bigger, who has a voice, a message and a gift to share with the world and who is ready to say “Yes” to the possibilities of creating a real business on her own terms.

Doing OBM was intense, electrifying, staggering. It was a whirlwind of brainstorming, processing, and getting so clear and focused on why and what I wanted to do that discovering the rest of my answers became easy. – Jenn Gibson, Roots of She

What You’ll Get To Do

:: Move past your fears of playing bigger
:: Access the confidence AND ability to create a successful online business
:: Organically grow your income without burning yourself out
:: Experience the magic of feeding your dreams

Just Some of What We’ll Cover

:: The 3 most CRUCIAL steps you must take first (before you do ANYTHING else)
:: How to bring in the right readers, clients and customers
:: Which products and offers you can create and HOW to actually create them
:: Your website MUST-HAVES, including how to protect yourself against hackers
:: How to do it all in a way that feel authentic and fun
:: Tons and tons and tons more…

We’re talking my 10+ years of self-employment and nearly $10k of training in marketing and business foundations, sales funnels, target demographics, authenticity, freemiums, drip campaigns, search engine optimization, money blocks, time management, and all the nitty gritty details of what to do, why to do it and how to do it in the most powerful and effective way possible.

Basically, I’m going to give you the exact tools I used to go from making $200 a month with a blog to making nearly 6 figures in just over a year.

I honestly feel so much clearer about my business now, and I have focus and direction (two things I was lacking without even realising it). You’ve prompted me to DIG IN and get to grips with some fears I had about putting myself out there. I now feel armed and ready to move forwards. – Rebecca Mindful Misfits

Side note: We’re at DrumStrong with The Conscious Caravan this weekend! If you’re in the area I’d love to see you there. And stay tuned for the official introduction to the rest of the Caravan!

Every Friday I try to share some of the quotes I post on Twitter and Facebook, with some of my expanded thoughts and feelings on it here.

“Organic Wisdom” is what I have found speaking to me in those quiet moments, that guides me and that echoes Truth in my life. Please feel free to download, or share this image in any way you’d like.

We live in a fast-paced culture.

Ideas, thoughts, images, words, stimulation in one form or another is constantly flying by our heads.

We’re over-stressed, over-committed, and overwhelmed.

And although we know there is a time to process, to feel, to sink into our sorrow and experience what it’s offering us, we’re all craving that deep sense of gratitude that reverberates in our bones, craving to be overwhelmed with joy.

You don’t have to chase gratitude and joy.

You just have to stop and think.

Close our eyes and think about who your children are as people (not as the makers of mistakes).

Close your eyes and think about the core intentions of your partner (not the way he or she has learned to act on those intentions).

Close your eyes and think about what your body is capable of (not what you criticize it for).

Close your eyes and think about Who You Are – beneath the commotion and the ideas and the fears and the incessant need to impress or resist.

Just create a little space – in your schedule, in your home, in your head – to experience what is aching to fill the spaces of your heart.

What are you thinking of these days?

I would ask them the customary questions: How old are you? What grade are you in? What’s your favorite subject? What do you want to be when you grow up?

(Kinda similar to how I use to talk to adults actually: What do you do? How’s the weather? Time flies huh?)

You know, the kind of questions that you don’t really listen for the answers.

But then I started meeting children who liked to make up their their own age (or name), who didn’t go to school, and who demanded (not with words but with their very presence and the way they experienced life) a whole new kind of interaction.

And it was awkward at first.

I didn’t know what to say or how to say it. It was uncomfortable to be alone with a child I wasn’t related to because there was an expectation of interaction that I didn’t know how to handle (compared to the idea that we don’t have to interact quite as much with children we do know – ack!).

I was realizing today how different that is for me now.

I woke up this morning and immediately upon noticing there was actual SUNSHINE I grabbed my yoga mat and headed out the RV door. I intended to salute the sun all proper like.

We’re camped with our caravan and sitting outside next door was my new friend, whom I call Little Turtle, for we both are learning a lot about our own personal turtle shells. As we greeted I did what I would do with any friend…

I invited her to do yoga by the pond with me.

She grabbed her mat, her brother even came along for a few minutes before he decided he had better things to do, and the two of us saluted the sun together.

Then we laid by the water and just spent time together.

In my past I would’ve felt compelled to ask questions or mentor her in some way (oh the ego!). I would’ve had a different tone in my voice and a direction I felt we should take it (educational no doubt).

But our time together was casual and comfortable instead.

We talked about the water and our favorite colors, and Googled on my phone what different colors mean (she’s all about the happy, creative colors!). We wondered about the weird animal sounds we heard and talked about brothers.

The generations between us didn’t matter. We were just able to BE together, as friends.

And this makes me really happy. I have friends of so many ages and backgrounds and beliefs. And for years I missed out on what these young and wonderful friends bring to my world.

Like the enjoyment of sitting and watching the bugs skimming the surface of the water.

Last night Justin and one of the kids went off to a juggling meetup. An hour driving together, several hours juggling with other adults, and an hour back. As friends. Right now he has a 10 year old friend helping him work on the engine as they talk more about juggling. As friends.

It just makes me smile.

And being authentic has also become easier. Zeb and his new friend (and Little Turtle’s brother) were playing in the RV and I needed to get some work done. They were having fun and talking and I was struggling with overwhelm and feeling distracted.

So I reached out in kindness. “Hey guys, would it be okay if I had the RV to myself for awhile? I’ve got so much work to do.”

“Sure Mom.” “Sure Tara.” And they finished up their game, asked when I thought I’d be done and headed outside with a smile.

In the past I would’ve resorted to demanding they go outside, or just internally huffing and puffing over how I never get what I need until I became resentful. I never would’ve thought I could’ve spoken to them about it in the same way I would speak to my husband. It would’ve been control or martyrdom for me.

I’ve missed out on a lot of time with these incredible friends, especially the incredible friend I have in my 12 year old son. There were lots of things I had to DIG IN to in order to release my own discomfort and fear and superiority: like the emotions or reactions that would come up for me, the old stories about permissiveness, and the kind of connections I really wanted in my life and what had me settling for less.

But most importantly the idea I had learned that only people of the same ages could have real and meaningful friendships together and that adults were meant to lead children, not simply enjoy their presence.

You build with mortar the barriers around you
Going into shutdown mode
With robotic automation

And I pick up the slack
With my overwhelming frustration
An attempt to bulldoze your red brick wall

My mind whispers otherwise
Reminding me its compassion that tears down fences
That creates safe spaces that coax you out of hiding

But usually my ego wins
Responding from the fear recalled by my previously wounded heart

You’re not him
Any of those other hims
And I’m not the girl I was then either
Nor am I the person who taught you to withdraw

But still we slip into those places our experiences have created
Those places that tell you to hide
And me to fight for my life
That forget the safety we can celebrate in the other’s arms

And I’m thankful for those moments for two reasons.

One: that they never last long
That what used to be my entire experience of love
Is now merely a glimpse of a little girl’s fear that overtakes me momentarily
Before I remember who I am
And where I am
And who I’m with
And what we both need.

And Two: that they remind me of those things at all
Of who and where I am and with whom
That they offer the contrast of a previous life I thought was normal
And the wonder I still dwell in because I’ve discovered that its not
That those places are no longer comfortable
No longer the first place I go
No longer the last place I want to leave
That they no longer threaten me
Or you
Or us together
But that they merely happen as a glimpse of an old self
A history we get to rewrite
And not a destiny we’re doomed to repeat
That it’s never long before your arms are wrapped back around me
And I’m sinking into your heartbeat
And we’re smiling again
With the reminder that decades past is not our reality
Even if we momentarily relive it
For old time sake perhaps

Yes, I’m thankful for the times you trigger my old shit
(although you’ll never hear me say it in the moment)
Because I want to be the woman who loves you that fiercely
As to lean into compassion instead of bulldozer mode
Into love instead of my own fear
Into what you need instead of what I’m afraid to give
(Yes, I have walls of my own
Not the kind that go up in a flash
But the more insidious kind
That stay up all the time
And are made of clear glass
Giving you the illusion of openness
Until you face plant against them.)

And I’m thankful for another thing:
This sacred little space we’ve created between the two of us
Where you learn to open up
(and I learn to shut up)
Where I learn to be patient
(and you hurry up and get there already)

Yes, we have our moments of fear
That manifest as anger and disconnect and hurt
But damn, only moments?
(I’d call it easy if I didn’t remember how fucking hard it was there for awhile
and how much we worked at this
and how we almost didn’t make it work)

I guess what I’m trying to say
Is your damn sexy
Red brick walls and all
And I’m glad you think I’m cute when I’m mad
Because I must be breathtaking to you
Right when we need to love each other most.

Every Friday I try to share some of the quotes I post on Twitter and Facebook, with some of my expanded thoughts and feelings on it here.

“Organic Wisdom” is what I have found speaking to me in those quiet moments, that guides me and that echoes Truth in my life. Please feel free to download, or share this image in any way you’d like.

Think of every smack received as a step back in one’s emotional, mental and spiritual ability to thrive.

Yes, we survived. But how might we have THRIVED if our mistakes were met with compassion and support, kindness and patience? How might we have learned to look at ourselves if we are never taught to see ourselves with anger or disgust or disappointment?

It’s true.

You could hit your children and they would most likely survive.

But not BECAUSE you hit them. Simply in spite of it.

An abundance of love, support, kindness, guidance and compassion can never do harm.

Disengagement, neglect, apathy, anger, impatience, criticism, or any form of assault always will.

Let me tell you a little story…

Several weeks ago I had a little bird in my ear telling me I needed to do something for Mother’s Day to share here. It, of course, didn’t give me any hints and just left me hanging for awhile. So I made a little note on my To do list and just wondered each time I saw it, with a bit of trepidation in my heart because really…do I need any more projects?

But I leaned into Trust that what needed to come forth would come and would do so at just the right time.

Well then Monday rolled around and Justin and I went on a nature walk and came to the end of a path and sat on the makeshift log-bench and watched the scenery while the dog ran around and I verbalized all my thoughts. I had thought of launching the parenting e-course or another paid product but I knew enough people would be talking about things you could buy yourself for Mother’s Day and I heard a little pang of “No, yours needs to be a gift.”

I thought to myself, “These are the women who give all the time. I want to give them the gift of receiving. I want to fill their cups.”

And as he and I spoke together the words just came out, “I think I’m going to create a little mini-meditation.”

A little bit of wisdom, a little bit of love, a little bit of breathing room is what I really want to offer you.

Later that day I sat down with my journal and allowed myself to process around what needed to come through me, who it was for, what it would say, what it would be called and got a very clear directive, “Don’t think about the words and the details now. Just sit down to record, and hold in the heart the women you most want to speak to, then speak.”

So I did just that. I climbed in the back of my sound studio (the backseat of the truck), closed my eyes, started the music in my ears and brought to my heart my mama and my tribe of sister-friends and you out there.

And then I spoke the words that needed saying. 

It’s not perfect. It’s not earth-shattering, except maybe for a few women who will receive it. The mini-workbook even has typos that I have no intentions of fixing.

But it’s filled with love. A gift from my heart and my wisdom straight to you.
