01. Glint Celebrates 20 Years

For our 20th Anniversary, we are making 2020 a year to pause and reflect. Glint wants to celebrate twenty years of business by having people share their stories and business journeys. Everyone has a story, and it has been quite the journey for us; let’s face it, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. If anything, it’s hard to run a business, but what makes it worthwhile is reflecting on how far you’ve come. We all started somewhere and were impacted by significant moments along the way. It doesn’t matter if you’re in your first year of business, your fiftieth, or you haven’t even started. It’s about understanding the meaning of hard work and remembering that no matter where you are in your journey to take a moment to pause and reflect on what it took to get you where you are now.

The people you work with, the work you do, and the things you have accomplished are all a part of your success development. So, we ask, what makes you proud? What drives you? Where do you want to be?

02. Join The Movement

In celebration of achieving our twenty-year milestone, we want to encourage you to join our Pause and Reflect campaign. Together, we can spread words of encouragement, celebrations, and thanks by posting on social media and using the hashtag #pauseandreflect. Although the challenges we’ve faced in 2020 may have been overwhelming at times, taking a moment to pause and reflect over the last twenty years will likely give you hope, and confirm you’ve still made a lot of progress. So please, join the campaign and help us celebrate how great the last twenty years have been.

Reminder with love: it is okay to pause in the middle of overwhelm so that you can release, rest, reflect and rest. 

It is essential. 

What's the last thing you did to reset in purpose?

🌟 “Master Your Moments: Choose Response Over Reaction.” In the rush of emotions, it’s easy to lose ourselves to the heat of the moment. When triggers flare, the challenge isn’t just to react, but to consciously choose how we respond. 🌪️💡

🧘‍♂️ Slowing down when emotions run high is more than a practice—it’s a pathway to deeper self-awareness and control. By pausing to process what’s really happening, we shift from being reactive to being reflective. This isn’t just about calming down; it’s about choosing to engage with our feelings in a way that aligns with who we aspire to be. 🔄🕊️

💬 At the McBride Institute, we guide you through the processes that help transform emotional triggers into opportunities for growth and connection. Learn to navigate your emotional landscape with precision and grace. 🌿🗺️

📞 DM ‘HEALING’ to start your journey toward emotional mastery today. Discover tools and techniques that empower you to handle life’s ups and downs with equanimity and insight. 🌟📲

Happy World Donkey Day!

Donkeys are one of my absolute favorite animal friends. They are sweet, funny, resilient, and incredibly smart. 

Like many creatures, donkeys are often taken advantage of by humans. Neglected, abused, or just not appreciated for what they do. 

Think about the history of donkeys, and how they have and continued to help us. They are in many religious texts and stories, often carrying people (like Mother Mary) and loads for long, difficult journeys. In Colombia especially, donkeys bring books to rural communities. (Learn more by reading the picture book Biblioburro, which tells the true story of Luis Soriano and his donkeys, Alfa and Beto). 

My love gifted me this calendar from Little Longears Miniature Donkey Rescue in New Oxford, PA. The work that the people do to care for neglected, abused, and surrendered donkeys is beautiful. I hope to visit someday soon. 

Over their time here on Earth, I truly believe that if donkeys did not want to help humans, they would have left us to roam free. And yet, they choose to serve. They don’t ask for much, and we expect a great deal from them. 

Today, think about the donkeys. Hear their brays. See their ears. Feel how grounded they are, unafraid and willing to serve. And if you feel called to, check out https://www.littlelongears.org/ to learn how you can give back to these sweet friends who teach us so much. #worlddonkeyday #lovedonkeys #yoga #pauseandreflect
In meinem eigenen Leben habe ich die transformierende Kraft von Pausen auf eine sehr persönliche Weise erfahren. Gerade in den letzten Monaten in Sri Lanka habe ich wieder einmal deutlich gespürt, wie wichtig sie sind und dass mein Körper mir Signale sendet, wenn ich nicht regelmäßige Pausen mache um mich zu nähren. Meine Reise von Sri Lanka nach Europa, die Fahrt von Portugal nach Belgien in einem Van, die Aufregung des Zusammenziehens mit meinem Partner, das Neuaufbauen meines Business in einer Stadt – all das nach fast anderthalb Jahren als Nomadin – das alles waren Veränderungen, die mich gerade tief berühren und mir zeigen, wie gut es tut, diese Schritte in das Neue langsam und mit genügend Pausen zu gehen. 
In diesen Zeiten voller Bewegung und neuer Eindrücke ist es oft verlockend, einfach durchzupressen und mir keine Zeit zum Durchatmen zu nehmen. Doch ich habe gelernt, dass gerade in den intensivsten Phasen des Lebens die kleinen Pausen unschätzbar wertvoll sind. Es sind die Momente, in denen ich innehalte, tief durchatmete, um Klarheit und Ruhe inmitten des Sturms zu finden.
Diese Pausen ermöglichen es mir, mit den rasanten Veränderungen umzugehen und sie nicht nur als Herausforderungen, sondern auch als Gelegenheiten zu sehen. Sie helfen mir, mich neu zu erden, meine Ziele zu reflektieren und meine Energie zu bündeln & vor allem auch zu spüren. Ohne diese bewusst genommenen Auszeiten wäre ich vermutlich überwältigt von der Flut der Ereignisse.

Ich teile diese Erfahrungen mit dir, weil ich glaube, dass sie eine Brücke bauen können zu deinem eigenen Erleben. Vielleicht erkennst du dich in diesem ständigen Fluss des Lebens wieder und spürst den Bedarf, hin und wieder innezuhalten. Lass diese persönlichen Erlebnisse eine Erinnerung sein, dass es in Ordnung ist, eine Pause zu machen, egal wie beschäftigt das Leben scheint. Es ist nicht nur in Ordnung – es ist notwendig, um unsere vollste Präsenz und Freude im Leben zu bewahren.

This phrase serves as a gentle reminder to embrace mindfulness and presence in our lives. It prompts us to lift our gaze from the chaos of daily routines and to slow down, allowing us to notice and cherish the magic scattered throughout our existence.

By pausing, observing, and immersing ourselves in the present moment, we unlock the potential to discover extraordinary beauty and wonder in the most unexpected corners of our lives.

Ultimately, it encourages us to cultivate a deep appreciation for the richness of each passing moment. True magic isn't found in grand spectacles or lavish affairs; rather, it resides in the simplicity of everyday experiences that infuse our lives with meaning and joy.✨

You rush, chasing an invisible target, passing by without knowing what you're missing. You seek happiness, peace, fulfillment, you seek... And yet, you simply ignore it all, focusing on the goal.
Stop!
Stop chasing like a fox after a rabbit. Look around, see what surrounds you.
Do you feel the uneven path beneath your feet?
Do you see how beautifully the sun colors the leaves of the trees?
Do you hear the movement of the water in the river?
Have you noticed the heron flying, disappearing behind the trees? Can you feel the warmth of the sun, touching the path, the trees, the water, painting them in shades of orange, do you feel that warmth?

Peace. Silence. You are, here and now. And the peace you feel comes from within, You have peace, when you make it with yourself. 

"Peace is not something you wish for, it is something you make, something you are, something you do and something you give away"
