I typed this into the chat box, to a message to my wife. No, no, both of us are healthy middle-aged people. Just as tired and achey as the next middle-aged parents, coming to grips with sore hips, backs, and eyes that now need reading glasses. For those minor inconveniences, I am daily grateful. Nothing a little more yoga, patience, and five pairs of expertly-placed reading glasses around the house can’t solve.

Revolutionize your love? It takes three minutes to align with your self and your self-love. Here’s the scoop!
Hello, sweet soul and friend. How are things going? And how are you taking care of your big heart today? For me, it’s been an odd month. Changing schedules, covid outbreaks, clogged drains. In other words, life!
So, schedules. During the past month, I all-but-abandoned a part of my morning routine. Today, I started it up again, and it felt like coming home. To me. To why I love myself. It helps me remember me – ALL of me – when I get lost in productivity, books, helping others, and even house cleaning! Here are three sentences you can write down to wrap yourself in love at the start of every day 🙂

The Freedom Shower of no Regret
Howdy, beautiful soul! How’s it going in your heart today? You meeting each morsel of life, fully-present and absorbed in the miracle that is existence, or are there deeper, darker thoughts afoot?
Deeper thoughts that involve one or more of the following trails:
If I only coulda said this…
If I only woulda done this…
I shoulda known better…
These are some of the strongest leading trails of thought that are big clues. To what? Regret.
Regret is a mighty foe. It not only keeps you unforgiving about what you did/said in the past, it keeps the lens from which you view life darkened, distorted. In yoga, they call this kinda viewpoint on life avidya. Avidya definition: ignorance specifically : blindness to ultimate truth. I know, Regret is a true Joy Block.
So, how can you be at your shiniest, most joyful self, with regret? You can’t. But, here’s what you can do.
Today I’m here to let you know how you can rinse some of your avidya away, so you can embrace and get closer to YOUR ultimate truth, which is Joy and Love.
Let me know what you think!
sending you love, light, and soapy bubbles of healing,
Heidi Esther

Don’t know what to do? Ask
Hello, sweet soul. Do you ever get in a spot where you don’t know what to do? Either because you are in shock, at a loss for words, or wound up with intense emotions?
Last week, I started a lovely live YouTube convo with a new friend in my basement office. Thirty seconds after going live, my son called me. Twice. Later, I could hear my dog barking, for like ten minutes.
After my convo, I realized I had sent my son to the wrong hair salon; the new hairstylist wouldn’t take checks or a card over the phone. And my daughter didn’t think barking would bother my show from upstairs.
Coming into the kitchen to get lunch and apologize to the hair stylist, I saw dishes all over. Which are the kids’ duty while they are home in the summer.
So, full of both remorse and irritation, I started chuckling.
Really? Laughing? Yep.
During that live conversation, not five minutes prior, I had a tarot reading. In this reading, an “extra” card that popped out of the deck. What was that card? It told me I will be best served today by tending to my emotions.
Tarot. It’s not a Ouija board. It’s not a crystal ball. It’s not for witches or psychics.
Tarot is a powerful personal development tool for everybody to channels your intuition and flow knowledge right to your grey matter. Like that wise, unfiltered, and honest second opinion you’ve been waiting for.
What do you need? An open mind.
Is it helpful? In a way, it saved one human’s life. When they didn’t know what else to do, Ej, the tarot reader on my show, turned to tarot. They share some of their journey with me, in the show.

When Emotional Tsunamis hit your fan…
Staring at the horizon above the meadow at a tree-lined subdivison, my anger smokes out my fingertips. My body is in a yoga pose, called Warrior Two. Which always looks to me like an archer stance, ready for battle.

A story… Recently, I woke up and I felt off. About 20 minutes into reorganizing my bathroom closet, I realized that I was in hard-core avoidance mode. As I weeded out the slimified old lotion bottles, I knew it was time.
I sat down and cried. I didn’t judge or question myself. I journaled. THEN, that afternoon, I connected with two friends to process the meltdown.
