Do You Have a Favorite Agreement?

In eager anticipation of seeing don Miguel Ruiz speak this upcoming weekend in Austin, I’d like to dedicate this week’s posts in honor of his simple, yet profound teachings. For those of you who are unfamiliar with don Miguel Ruiz, his book The Four Agreements is an absolute *must read*.  In 138 short and easy to read pages, he provides a construct for ridding ourselves of limiting beliefs by putting in place four agreements. You can easily go to Amazon and read tons of reviews, the outlining of the book, etc., so I won’t bore you with any of that.  Continue reading >>

Marilyn Monroe, Speak It, Sister!

We all have our favorite beliefs, mantras, words we live by.  You might guess that based on the name of this blog, mine are Trust Life Today.  And although I do love everything those words mean to me, my FAVORITE belief is probably the one that I’ve felt and known since I was a little girl.  This one: Everything happens for a reason. Sounds simple, it may even sound corny.  Yet still, it sums it ALL up for me.  This is one of those rare things that I feel in my bones. Because of my deep belief in, and resonance Continue reading >>

Me? A Hippie-Vegan?

Me? A Hippie-Vegan?

Writer, mother, wife, friend, breast cancer survivor, Truth sayer, dreamer, seeker, lover….  So many labels.  Did I assign these to myself?  Did others assign them to me and I chose to accept them?  Are there other labels that I chose to reject, and therefore do not appear in this list? How do we decide which labels we own and which we reject? Over the weekend I attended a meeting filled with 100+ people who in some way are connected to WordPress (the platform I write this blog on).  During the introduction, the host happened to catch my eye, and although Continue reading >>

One Hell of a Year!

Dec 302011
 

Although today isn’t officially New Year’s Eve, in sticking with my Monday, Wednesday, Friday posting schedule, today’s article has the honor of being the last Trust Life Today (TLT) post of the year.  Why honor?  Because the first post was on January 1st, which means this post will not only finish up the year of 2011, it also completes one year of me writing for you (and let’s be honest, writing for me too)!! I’ve LOVED every minute of it. Here are a few highlights of 2011: January 1 – the first TLT article appeared January 21 – I retold Continue reading >>

Grateful: The Big, The Small (and PLENTY in-between)

Grateful: The Big, The Small (and PLENTY in-between)

What do getting rid of Spanx, dog walking, hair, breathing, and Trust all have in common? Based on today’s title, if you guessed: Things Leslie is Grateful For, you’d be 100% correct!   I was released yesterday by my plastic surgeon to: begin light weight bearing exercise (up to 5 pounds) – yes walk the dog – Yes! ditch my Spanx – YES!! For those who are unfamiliar with the lovely world of Spanx, I wouldn’t mention this to its founder, but I see them as a glorified girdle.  Although not keen on the idea of wiggling into this compression Continue reading >>
