Garbage stinks. It’s a fact of life. But here’s a trick to make it a little less smelly — or rather, smelly in a good way. Take a cotton ball, soak it in essential oil, and drop it in your bin (underneath the liner or the bag). It’s an easy and inexpensive odor-fighter that helps keep your trash from getting too pungent. Your nose will thank you.

We cannot always rely on fleeting moments of inspiration. Our threshold for creative expression only expands when we show up every day and wrestle with the process.
As you ease into your creative process, choose into morning rhythms that give the most space for you to share God’s breath of life, be formed into yourself and harvest wonder from the world around and in you. And when you do start creating, do it from a place of abundance. Nothing is too petty, too silly, too stupid, or too weird to be included.

experiences emotions differently. The first step is to bring a sense of openness to a negative emotion, an acknowledgment of what is happening, by asking yourself: What am I experiencing right now? The goal is not to clear or push away the emotion, but rather to welcome it and use mindfulness as a tool of exploration. “Feeling emotions is a subjective experience, so if I’m feeling anxious, for example, I’ll explore what it is to feel anxious for me: that I feel tightening in my chest, feel jittery, and have rapid-fire thoughts about something impending happening,” explains Kimberly Brown, a meditation teacher and author of the forthcoming book Navigating Grief and Loss. “We don’t try to get rid of anything—not pain or bad thoughts—we try to receive it, to allow it, to open to it, to bring kindness.”

Calling in” doesn’t mean you avoid calling out injustice when you see it, right?
That’s right. I created a continuum—I call it “The 5 C Continuum.”
There’s calling out, which is publicly shaming people. There’s canceling somebody, which is when you want someone to really suffer, lose their job, lose their platform, or at least take a hit to their reputation. There’s calling in, which is when you use love and respect instead of anger, blaming and shaming to pursue that accountability.
Then, there’s calling on. Sometimes you don’t want to give people your time and attention. Calling on is what you do when you want people to do better, but you’re not going to invest the time to make them do better. And the fifth C is calling it off. Why are you bothering to waste your precious time with people lying, trolling, cherry picking their facts, and gaslighting you? Whether that’s happening online or in person, you’ve got a choice to disconnect, and I recommend that you do it. – Loretta J. Ross

There’s a big question that’s crucial to ask: Are you willing to face any feeling in your life? Most people are not willing to face painful feelings. And if you’re not, then fear can have a powerful hold over you. But if you’re willing to face any feelings, then you can be fearless.
Alongside that, I think it’s important to ask: Are you willing to fail? And are you willing to fail dramatically? I believe a good goal is to be willing to fail, fail dramatically, and not be embarrassed. If you’re truly humble, you could never be embarrassed. – Jim Murphy
