What If Your Discomfort Is Actually Your Compass?
Maybe the obstacle is the way after all.
Welcome, fellow seeker of pebbly truths!
Whether you stumbled here by chance or followed a friend's recommendation, I'm glad you've found your way to The Pebble in Your Shoe. This space is dedicated to exploring the edges of our comfort zones—where growth happens, and wisdom takes root.
If you're new here, these posts capture the essence of what we explore together:
And here's what's been stirring conversation lately:
Each week, we gather here to examine the stories we tell ourselves, the discomforts we try to ignore, and the transformations that become possible when we finally pay attention. Some conversations are gentle, others more challenging—but all are grounded in the belief that our difficulties, like well-placed pebbles, can lead us to deeper understanding.
You'll find new posts every Wednesday. Feel free to join the conversation in the comments—this community grows richer with every voice that joins in.

I just returned from Yin/Nidra yoga class and had to learn how to tune out the construction happening next door to the studio. It was hammering and I am one of those people who gets annoyed, but learning to tune those noises around us out. If it is annoying or difficult, that means I need to practice it!
Thank you. I was just reading about AMOR FATI and a 2015 blog by Alan Bridges that was all about seeing the gift in what happens that alters what you thought would be... Have to run out but I hope to have a look around soon!
