life's moments

Epiphany: a sudden realization, a sudden intuitive leap of understanding, especially through an ordinary but striking occurrence.

My dear, dear friend in HMB and I share this thing. We talk about our lives, our families, our children, our relationships; it's cheap therapy you know and girls do this (being the brilliant beings that we are). Conversation allows you to notice things, learn new ways, invite understanding, dig deeper for compassion, figure stuff out - we call this 'phifin' and it can occur in conversation and often after the fact. A single point of clarity is a 'phif' - these are good and might lead to 'phifin' (multiple aha's) if you pay attention.

A 'phif'can pop up at any point in time, so keep your eyes wide and your heart open. And remember, one small shift necessarily changes a dynamic.

xoxo, P
