    You know those roadblocks you have been running up You know those roadblocks you have been running up against? The ones that you think block the path that is supposed to be yours? Maybe your response has been to try to push harder, to try to control what is not yours to control, to thrash, or any other number of emotionally exhaustive ways to breakthrough. Even if we break through, the True Self's did try and warn us, we just refused to listen. Unnecessary pain lies on that road we thought had to be ours. The roadblocks are there to help you ponder and tweak or entirely change or daringly believe that your life is capable of far more than your limited thinking in this moment can trust to be true. 

The roadblocks are your True Self's gentle and then more jarring way (if we ignore the first helpful signs) of telling us our path is different, and we just have to be brave enough to trust it. This is one of many ways our True Self's communicates. 

New on the blog to begin a new week in Monday's Motivational post 🦋 Decoding the Inner Compass: How Our True Self Communicates

These seemingly simple details in our cooking add that flavor that elevates deliciously, thus eliminating the need for excess ingredients or fancy tricks in the kitchen. Just one of the many ways to add flavor that are taught in TSLL's Intro to French Cooking: Everyday Deliciousness cooking class!

    To read. Everyday. Is oxygen. A hold-in-my-hand-co To read. Everyday. Is oxygen. A hold-in-my-hand-copy. A companion ever present. To learn. To understand. To discover kindred connection. To past lives and life journeys. To realize possibility and life's breadth of opportunity. To deepen appreciation. To be inspired. To see the humanity. To be connected while delighting in one's own company. To savor a moment of stillness while traveling within the mind. 

Books, reading, has changed the trajectory, experiences and journey of decisions thought and turned into reality possible. Books provide freedom and a map to unearthing truths waiting to be found. 

Visit TSLL.co where you will find in multiple regular postings books being shared: the weekly This & That (each Friday); the monthly A Cuppa Moments w/Shannon where I share verbally the books I recommend, what I am reading and what I am curious about; and the monthly Outfits of the Month post where each outfit is paired with a soon-to-be-released book or new to me book. 

One can never read enough books. ❤️📚📖📚📖📖📚❤️
