Happy Sunday, beaus and beauties! Hope your week is off to a joyful start. I just returned from dropping Kasey off at the airport and I miss my girl so much already! We had the most amazing time together, just eXperiencing life and soaking up each other’s presence. We really are soul sisters!
Let’s re-cap with some “W” highlights, shall we?
Christina (@wholisticliving) recalled the “why of WHY she fuels her body with #plantPOWER foods.
My ‘why’ is right here. I am so blessed for my family. This is why I am a beachbody coach, so that I can be here, always with my beautiful family. Living a life of freedom with the ones I love.
Jessica (@the_toned_teach) fueled herself without worrying! She realized the act of worrying was not serving her and made the decision to actively kick it to the curb. YOU GO GIRL!
Starting my Saturday with delicious spelt flour pancakes! Same recipe as normal but used Bob’s spelt flour instead of coconut. #glutenfreegoodness all over! Topped with my new #truenutrition custom protein, cocoa powder, and pb2! W is for worry-free weekend.
Way to go, ladies!

X is for…eXperience life!
Everything is okay. You are perfect at you are. In this very moment, the thing that you are eXperiencing is what you are supposed to be eXperiencing. What does that mean? It means that eXperiences happen for us – not to us. The Universe isn’t “out to get us.” The Universe is “out to give to us.” When we accept and live from this life begins to flow and every eXperience becomes an opportunity instead of an obstacle.
I was watching Super Soul Sunday this morning after getting home from dropping my soul sister, Kasey, at the airport. Oprah was interviewing Panache Desai, a new generation thought leader and spiritual teacher. Panache spoke so simply yet so clearly and transparently about eXperiencing the fullness of life.
At one point, he said two words that totally made everything crystal clear: “EXperience YOU.” What does that mean? It means that you are the answer. It means that every eXperience that you long to have is already available to you. The connection with “something greater” than ourselves that we desire and feel called to is inside of us. To Panache’s point, “The only place we acn eXperience that is within yourself.” By owning that, we can help others see that they, too, have that eXperience inside of them. All you have to do is becoming willing to feel that eXperience and it will come. Because it’s there.
We sometimes think that we need to do something special to eXperience something great. But you already are great. You don’t need to do anything to prove that yourself. YOU are the keyholder. You can unlock that space inside of you that will allow you to open up to your greatness and eXperience life. So, how can we start?
Just become willing. Regardless of what you believe in, you can achieve this. Just offer up a prayer to the Universe, to God, to Holy Spirit, to Buddha, to you … wherever you find your connection … stop for a minute and say outloud, “I am willing to eXperience life. I know that life is working for me. I am open. Show me the way.”
Stay lovely,
Heather

Thank you so much for that Heather. I needed to hear that today. Wonderful! And I am so happy for you and Kasey for finally meeting up!!
You got it, sister! So glad you could see yourself in this post. Believe it.
Great post- however, spelt is not gluten free! Hopefully Jessica doesn’t have celiac or gluten sensitivity, but I have made that mistake in the past!
Thanks for informing the readers! I always thought spelt was gluten free until I researched it more!
Oh my, totally passed over my head! Thanks for that correction. You’re absolutely right. xo
Ah! You’re so right, Ali. Can’t believe I missed that. Thanks for catching that.
