Designing a bliss-full life

Happy Sacred Sunday!

First of all, happy belated Valentine’s Day. Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day?
We don’t celebrate it because my husband and I got married only 4 days prior, so we’re just coming off anniversary celebrations.

But the holiday does always prompt me to think about love, and it is always a good day to remember everyone and everything you love about your life.

That’s actually what resonated with me the most about the person I interviewed on my podcast this week. 

My friend, Lulu, is a 67-year-old woman who changed her life at 55, releasing addictions, losing 110 lbs, and eventually following her dream of living in a van and traveling the country.

I sat down with Lulu and asked her all about her journey and her transformation. 

Something I noticed in the time I’ve spent with Lulu is the way she talks about everything in her life. In all the time I’ve spent with her, I never heard her speak about anything in her life with dread.

She uses juicy and exciting adjectives to describe everything she does: from taking a shower to making a salad, to editing her YouTube videos, and planning her meetups. Her energy screams, “I love my life!” and it is absolutely contagious.

But I also know one thing for sure: That’s not just how Lulu is. That is who she became.

Designing a life you love is a decision you get to make.

It’s less about waiting for a grand awakening and more about a thousand little decisions. It’s also about noticing the daily rituals and habits that you love enough to turn from ordinary to bliss-full simply by speaking about them with love. I learned this from Marisa Peer, and I witnessed it in Lulu.

Lulu’s story is a reminder, that living with intention is a practice; a choice to move through each season with eyes wide open, a heart attuned to wonder, and a willingness to design a life that sparks bliss.

This week, I invite you to Notice the places in your own life where joy already lives, Name one thing you want to experience more deeply, and Nurture it with a small, loving action. That’s how we build a life we don’t want to escape from, a life we don’t need to wait to celebrate on Valentine’s Day.

Sending you so much love today and everyday,
