Palms Up Manifesto

Zumba at church!

We believe we honor God by taking care of our bodies. God can use us the best when we’re healthy in spirit, mind and body. And it’s crazy fun too 🙂

This is the face of a woman who stopped asking permission to do the things she loves. To create what she wants to create. This is the face of a woman who sees her internal drama and isn’t that surprised or put off by it anymore. “Oh, we’re doing that again? Awesome.” . This is the face of a woman who is ridiculously hopeful for our world. She sees what’s possible, what could be. And it’s beautiful. This is the face of a woman who argues with her husband, cries when her 8-year-old daughter is pissed at the world and pretends to care about Mario Kart and the number of curves on the latest track. This is the face of a woman who is dying to the old tired parts of her story. Letting them go. What’s left? Joy and lightness in the midst of the heaviness of life. . It’s a beautiful spot to be. Right in the middle of her life. Seeing the mess. No longer afraid (well, most of the time 😉). . #palmsuplife #youfullyalive

Sitting in the back with my date to worship this morning 🥰 #graceandlove

Friday Fun Facts! 1. I’m 37 and a half. I love this age. I used to think this was old. But now that I’m here, I feel more like myself each year. 2. I’m wired to look for meaning in just about everything. Slow Seattle traffic? My child spilling cereal on the floor? 32 straight days of rain? An argument with my husband? I’ll see some metaphor or story or learning each time. Sometimes I want to turn off that ability. 3. I’m intentional to talk about things I’m practicing too. Palms up, healthy leadership practices, paying attention, releasing outcomes, sabbath are all things I’m learning as we go. 4. I turn my work brain off with puzzles, reading, exploring new PNW towns, walking around our neighborhood and dancing in the kitchen with my kids. 5. I fell in love with my husband all over again on our trip to Florida this month. Sometimes it’s hard at home, with him running @happycamperwoodshop, caring for our kids and my work at @marysvilleumc for us to really see each other. I’m thankful for rhythms where we show up and pay attention in a new way. Here’s to seeing our beloved ones in a new light. ❤️ . I love hanging out with you all on here! Hope you get lots of moments this weekend to rest and play 🎉 #palmsuplife #followfriday #fridayintroductions

Remembering the day we left for a week cross country with ONE suitcase for all four of us! I could write a whole essay on how it felt to take way less that we usually do. And how our kids are older. And how it was super weird to wear the same clothes multiple times (after washing them!). . But what it really led to was a sense of lightness. Traveling lighter invited me to depend on the present moment. Having fewer things brought me simplicity. I loved it. Even while it was a bit awkward. Here’s to traveling a little lighter in our lives this week. Let’s put the heavy stuff down for a moment. Ask someone to help us hold it. We might find a bit more freedom. Palms up. #palmsuplife #simplicity #haveless #minimalism

Meeting new friends. Enjoying the stories. We’re not alone. Palms up. #palmsuplife @umclead

Palms up. Celebrating growth today. Showing up as I am, mess and all. Offering a little of what I see. Releasing the outcome. @umclead day! My talk is at 9:00 am PST 🥰 #palmsuplife
