Do you smile when you wash dishes, dance when you dust, hum as you pay bills? Last night I was giving a talk on how to make friends with cleaning. As I was chatting I realized it isn't cleaning that is the problem- it is our relationship with cleaning, our habits and belief that causes the irksomes. What we think about cleaning or any chore will decide our fate.
As I type this blog, my joy is palatable. I'm on fire to play with shifting our relationships with chores to ones that will support and lift us up. Imagine driving to work singing to the radio- with a big old smile on your face. Mowing the lawn - drenched in the smells of spring. Scrubbing toilets as a deep meditation... the possibilities are endless. I love this so much I can't wait to play myself. Next bill paying session is going to be spectacular! My cleaning day is going to rock! And my grocery shopping a trip in curiosity!!
I've played with this idea for years but last night lightening struck! I get it. I'm going to play with it. I will share it and it is going to change the world! HA!
Today, pick something you are dreading. Taxes, dentist, washing your socks, plucking eyebrows, brushing your teeth- anything... Create space to play in your thoughts. A little spark is all you need for a fire to start.
Comment below- tell me what you are going to do to change your world! One chore at a time!!

Today: slightly spicy with sweet overtones
The sun is shining. The wind is blowing. I ate lemon, chia seed pound cake with my 3 year old niece this morning. For lunch my hubby and I tried a new Korean restaurant and had radish soup. It tasted like a clear potato soup.
This afternoon Lauren came over to practice my talk for her upcoming Synergy Talks. I will add in some of my experiences with cows and kittens. After our practice we chatted about giving talks, love and life.
After my hubby gets done giving a sound bath/singing bowl treatment I'm going to see if he wants to go for a run in the woods.
This is life. This is my life today. The spring flowers are starting to bloom.
I wonder, will I remember the sweetness of this day or the moments in between? There are always moments in-between. Those moments range in flavor from spicy, savory, bitter, salty to bland.
When I write life feelings in terms of flavors- they all are needed in the dish. Which flavors do I notice? Which ones will I remember? Do I like complicated or simple flavors?
This blog is three blogs in one. That's what I'm going with today.
Notice the sweetness of the day, look for new flowers and think of the day's moments as of flavors and not judgements.

Synergy Talks 2017! Coming to Seattle March 29- April 2nd
Hi All,
I would like to introduce you to a friend of mine Lauren Hrusak. I met her through my coach training. Have you ever met someone who lights up a room? She was sharing in class the other day and it was as if she was also conducting an orchestra.
Over the past 8 years of blogging I believe this is my first introduction post. Way to long in coming but today I was inspired.
Lauren has created an event in Seattle called Synergy talks. She created it much like the Ted talks. There will be multiple speakers, speaking for only about 13 minutes followed by 10 of discussion. Lauren has gathered some amazing speakers which I can't wait to hear!
You can learn more later in this post but I wanted to share with you what inspired her create such an event. We need more Lauren's in the world. Come catch the buzz of energy!!! (scroll down to register)

"I had a vision of Synergy back in the summer of 2014.
I
was working I job I hated and wondering why everyone around me (including
myself) had forgotten about their
dreams and was just so damn unhappy.
All of sudden I saw an image of a group of people
gathered together to discuss their goals and dreams. It would be a personal
growth and development group. A community, a tribe, a family that supported and
uplifted one another. I realized the three common ingredients to achieving a
goal:
1. A deadline.
2. Accountability.
3. The support of others.
What if I could create something that could foster
those ingredients?
That's precisely when Synergy was born. I thought no
one would be interested in joining a group like that so I kept my idea to
myself for many months until I launched the group in January 2015.
When Synergy first launched it was only supposed to be
about setting individual goals in a group setting, but my brother, Brent Hruska encouraged
me to deliver a recent blog post as a speech to kick off the group.
So I did.
I delivered a speech with the message of the
importance of believing in yourself as absolutely paramount to achieving
anything. From that month on and every month after I gave a talk based on a
prominent theme in my life.
So, after giving more than 15 talks the past two and a
quarter years I figured I could share some of them with the public, and thus
Synergy Talks! was born.
Thank you for saying "yes," to opening your
mind and experiencing a shift.
About Synergy:
Synergy is a collection of goal setting individuals.
Through the positive and encouraging community
fostered by Synergy, group members are inspired to achieve their goals, no matter
how big or small.
Synergy functions as a support system, a motivating
network, and a loving family.
What is Synergy's purpose?
1. To ignite within us a renewed enthusiasm for life.
2. To experience inspired transformation.
3. To foster positive momentum in our lives and the lives of others.
The five tenants of Synergy
1. We only speak positively toward and about others.
2. We support each other.
3. We uplift each other.
4. We inspire each other.
5. We believe in one another and most importantly ourselves."
Cheers,
Lauren Hruska
Lauren brings exactly what she says! This is the first Synergy event- Lets support her and her vision.
