Consciously Sweeten Your Life

We always knew there was something more to this life.  In grade school we became best friends and our relationship has grown well into our adult lives.  Unlike the small classrooms of the tiny town we grew up in, we now live on opposite coasts in major metropolitan cities.  We both lead busy, ambitious, fast paced lives similar to most young people today.  And although our lives have lead us down different paths, we strive for deeper connections with those around us.  Those connections have motivated us to live happier, healthier, longer lives.  We‘ve realized that life is truly about the small things, and that part of our journey is to share our experiences.

We feel that we are all on this earth to find and share our gifts and believe that by doing this we are consciously contributing to the health and well being of this beautiful planet.  We want to live with purpose and be authentic, leading by example.  But when we sat down and started asking ourselves some tough questions, we realized that we may not always be honoring our true selves.  Are we “walking the walk?”  Do we wake up everyday to live our dreams and serve our own destiny?  The simple answer is NO!  Sometimes we wake up to serve our bosses, our friends, our partners, our families, our pets (YES, OUR PETS!) without stopping to check in with ourselves.  By nature, we work to please and serve others.  And although this service is noble and sometimes necessary, we’ve made a commitment to do the same for ourselves.  And the first step to that commitment is taking small conscious actions each day.

We’re contributing this blog because we know we’re not alone.  We want to start a bigger conversation, and spark true authenticity one small step at a time.

We’ve come to realize that by making small conscious choices, or “Dabs of Honey,” we really can sweeten our everyday life.  Our hope is that we can humbly share some ideas that inspire us, and you will be inspired to share your Dabs of Honey in return.  May this open conversation help us reveal our true selves and create a community of people who seek the same.  Small steps can lead to major change.  Together, let’s consciously sweeten our lives!
