About Cari Ellen
Hi, I’m Cari Ellen.
And I am a proud over-sharer.
I love to go deep. Speak my truths. Hear yours.
In my world there is no such thing as TMI.
Why?
Because when we are willing to be vulnerable and share our messy humanity, our honesty heals us AND helps others to feel not so alone.
'Cause guess what?
Chances are, they have felt the same exact way.
I Believe...
-
I believe that our souls not only agreed, but were actually eager to come to this spinning planet, get a body, and have this human experience.
-
I believe that each one of us came here to “Earth School” to learn, to grow, to EVOLVE.
-
I believe that the hardships in life help propel our expansion, and are simply a non negotiable part of what we signed up for.
-
I believe that the joys in life can serve the same purpose.
-
I believe that every single one of us has our own unique path for this evolution, and that the beautiful loving light within us is our guide.
And when we fully accept our limited humanity,
yet live from our unlimited divinity (as much as humanly possible),
our lives work so much better…
Things feel easier. We are happier. More peaceful.
Why do I believe this?
Well...
a belief is just a thought you keep on thinking!
So I am continually training my brain to believe the kind of thoughts that serve me, that make sense to me, that help me make sense of this time space reality.
And it’s easy because these beliefs not only resonate deeply in every cell of my knowingness, but they also make me feel so good, so centered, so empowered.
I love moving through life with the certainty that things are happening FOR me, instead of TO me.
I love knowing that every time I choose to relax into SURRENDER I release resistance, thus allowing the flow of life force to come THROUGH me.
I love building my muscle memory of TRUSTING that everything is exactly as it’s supposed to be, especially when it feels like it’s absolutely not.
When I believe I am being held by a benevolent stream of energy that has my back...
This, to me, is a life where I can feel safe.
This, to me, is a life I can love.
But it wasn’t always this way for me.
When I was 14, I lost someone to suicide.
It changed me, it changed my life, it changed everything.
It changed the way I looked at the world, it changed the way I FELT in the world.
For over 40 years I carried a weight that I didn’t know how to put down...
the belief that it was my job to make sure that all the people I loved were happy...
... or at least happy enough to stay.
And I’ve only recently begun to realize and accept that other people’s happiness is actually not within my control…
That the only person’s emotional wellbeing that I have any sovereignty over is, of course, my own.
So I am now choosing to let go of feeling responsible for everyone else’s life, and instead, focus on what I am truly responsible for, living and loving my own life, as much as I possibly can.
Last Valentine’s Day, I embarked on a 365-day journey where every single day, I look for the moments that make my life worth living.
Then I capture them with my camera and creativity.
Next I write about them with reflections from my heart.
It is an incredibly powerful practice and a great way to train my brain to look for that which MAKES ME HAPPY and gives my life meaning.
Then lastly, I share them with others, sprinkling my “Looking Through The Lens of Love” moments out into the Universe.
Because my dream is to uplift and inspire you to also “Look Through The Lens of Love”.
It would truly be my honor if you followed me on my journey.
And an even bigger honor if you allowed me to support you on yours.
We are only here on Earth for a short time, why not learn how to live and love each day to the fullest?
Let’s practice BEING DIVINELY, as much as humanly possible, together.
With so much love,
Cari Ellen
I practice Being Divinely
EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
