Love just goes round and round. In a world where we can be anything why not be kind and drop some ♥️ along your way?

Here's me dropping you some ❤️. And thank you to @sammythebuyer for taking this clip. It truly makes my heart so happy 😊 

With love and in kindness, Shiv ❤️

Are you wasting the one gift that you get every single day, until you don’t?

The dream that became a waking nightmare. I am not the happy hippie you might think I am. Listen for me and join me for Part 2 💕 
You are probably not who the world thinks you are, are you?

Is walking the secret weapon we don't realize we have until we longer have it?

Temporary or permanent, losing the ability to just get up and walk is an eye opener, but wait until that time comes and it is too late. 

Once again, the last time I lost my ability to even walk from the bathroom to the bedroom, and later when going to ER became the plan, when it took forever to get to the car from the house, and then from the car into the ER, the value of this simple act was not lost on me.

It's easy to think we can walk later but the best time to walk is now while you can, because you can, for the times you can't, and for those who can't.

It's easy to wish we could walk when we can't, and yet, so often, it's even easier to not walk when we can! 

These are the talks I have with myself when I feel pressed for time or just don't want to do it. 

And there are times I would rather just not get out. 

But one thing I have learned from this side of 55 and my grumbly kidney, is that regret is heavy. 

Especially when carried with the inability to do the thing that I thought I could do anytime. 

So, 99% of the time this talk to with my inner selves gets my butt out there, and never is it a bad decision on the other side.

Quite the opposite. It builds resilience, and makes the next time easier. 

Do I give in sometimes? Of course. I am a silly human feeling my way on the planet and sometimes the plan is forgotten and the feelings are felt. But mostly, and that is what counts, mostly, I take those feelings out for some fresh air.

What gets your butt out when you might want to linger in your feelings, or just hang on the couch?

Always with love, Shiv ❤️

Our light and our love are our superpowers. How are you using yours today?

Smile at a stranger. 

Hug a friend.

Send a note to someone who means the world to you. 

And most of all, drop some love along your way and feel it come back in myriad ways. 

Dropping some love your way as I remember this sweet morning drop. 
 ❤️ Shiv

If not now then when?

In the world of sameness it's time to be ALL of YOU. Everyone else is taken (nod to Oscar Wilde for the inspo!)

Who are you being today?

I think I will be me, so you can be you, and together we can just BE ❤️ 
Love, Shiv

How can your what ifs be reframed today?

Thinking about this as I flip through my journal and see a note from self written in December.

The feeling of failure is always close to me. Expectations of self are high and not always sustainable. Rightly so. 

But not always easy to practice. But sometimes when my pen hits paper and mind communicates through it the right message comes and can serve not only that moment, but moments like today when it is re read and felt once again. 

The reminder that the What if reframe is available when conditions are suitable (not to be confused with denial or gaslighting one selves, or others!).

Today, in this moment, I am not close to that feeling, but the feeling is so very familiar to me that I thought it might be familiar to you to. 

So, what if everything is as it should be even, and especially, when it all falls like it is falling apart?

Perhaps there is a little room for a what if convo with all of your inner selves. 

I have them on the regular. Love to know if you do too 😒 🤔 😃. 
Love ❤️ 
Shiv

This time last week I was home recovering from a stay in the hospital on Dilaudid. I was curled up in the fetal position for 15 hours straight.

Today I went back. Not as a patient but as someone who wants to say thank you. 

I dropped off a thank you card and labyrinth stickers for the ER team, Dr Ally, Preston and Darlene, who took such good care of me when I didn't know what to do with myself.

"What costs nothing but means everything" — came to my mind as I walked back to the car, because kindness doesn't need a budget. Just intention.

They held space for my pain. They treated me with kindness and care when I was at my most vulnerable. They did their job, yes. But they did it with humanity.

The card took 5 minutes to write. The drive back took 10. The act of someone saying "thank you, your kindness means so much."

That stays and hits the heart of both the giver receiver.

None of us know when we'll need someone to hold us through the worst moments. Today I could give back a fraction of what they gave me, yet in the equation of life every fraction matters. 

Sometimes the smallest act can have the biggest impact. 

Progress isn't always forward. Sometimes it's a circle back to say thank you.

Kindness is the gift that keeps on giving and costs nothing, yet the results it can reap are priceless. Give the gift of kindess today and drop some ❤️ along your way. 
Love Shiv ❤️

Thankful for the Anglez who cared for me in 2nd (unrelated) ER visit in 3 months! Never have I felt so much pain in my body. 

Grateful I did what I could before this took over. I am home, fragile but on the mend. 

No regrets comes from living this philosophy in the smallest of ways, doing what I can, while I can, because I can, for the times I can’t and for those who can’t.

None of us are here forever, so all we can is all we can do and we must do it while we can, because there will be a day when we can’t and I know I don’t want regret to carry along with me.

Never take for granted the little things, like being able to stand up, I was curled in fetal position from 3pm to 6 am the next morning! It’s the small things that make us grateful.

With love, Shiv

This is what coming out of hiding looks like.

Not ready. Not polished. Not got it all together.

Just me at my desk pulling my hair out because stepping back into the light after five years of grief and shame and staying small is scary as fuck.

I lost my yoga business. Menopause flattened me. And for a while the old questions crept back — what do I have to show for 25 years?

Here's what I have: a life lived fully. Not glossy. Gritty, raw, real and so very free. But lacking in the tangibles.

"And the day came when the pain to remain closed tight in a bud became more than the pain it took to blossom." — Anaïs Nin

That day is today. For me. And maybe for you too.

I'm Shiv. Your Midlife Reclamation Coach.

I help women in midlife plug the holes in their souls so they can become whole. No reinvention. Reclamation is the game we choose to play.

If you've been hiding too — I see you. Let's walk out together.
