Harmonizing from the When I think about harmony, I think about music. I think about an orchestra or symphony — so many different instruments, each one with its own unique sound, its own voice. Every instrument is special. Even in a drum circle, when everyone’s holding something similar, each drum still carries its own vibration. Together, they create rhythm, movement, and the heartbeat of the circle.
It’s the same in life.
We’re all out here, living our lives, walking our paths. I live in a suburban-urban area — there are people everywhere I go! And we’re growing. I love people. I love connecting, visiting different communities, sharing experiences, learning, laughing. But I often wonder — what does harmony really mean? How do we create it?
In the journey of self-reflection and spiritual awakening, we can get caught “in the weeds” — wondering who we’re meant to stay connected with, who we’re being called to release. We notice our own behaviors that need shifting, and sometimes we see those same patterns in others. But the truth is, we can’t change other people. We can only influence — and that influence starts from within.
To create harmony, we first have to be ourselves.
Take care of yourself. Truly. Actions speak louder than words in any loving relationship — including the one you have with you. Nurture yourself. Be kind to yourself. Love yourself enough to follow your heart and to do what lights that inner spark.
Where the heck is your passion?! 🔥
Find it. Follow it. Let it move through you.
When we love ourselves, when we’re following what ignites us, and we’re connecting with the people we love — that’s harmony.
Speak to yourself with love. Speak to your neighbors, your friends, your co-workers with love. We’re all children of this planet, still figuring out how to be grown-ups. Goofy, imperfect, beautiful humans doing our best.
Have kindness and compassion — for yourself and for others. Find that sweet spot where you know: you’re here to experience life, and so is everyone else.
You can be gentle without tiptoeing.
You can hold firm boundaries with love.
You can treat others how you’d want to be treated — and if you don’t know what that feels like yet, spend some time with yourself. Learn what you need, what feels good, what nourishes you.
We’re all part of this great big symphony of life. Play your unique instrument. Share your song. And together, let’s make music with the world.Heart
