Sitting in stillness…waves come crashing in…loud, powerful, ferocious. Yet, in the stillness, I know only their beauty, their strength, and their humble gifts of positive change.

Where You Live
Nothing that enters from the outside can define a person. From within – from the space of the heart – comes the guidance and morality by which we live. Your heart is where you live.
Whatever Floats Your Boat
When you remove the pit in the center and scoop up the pulp on a chip, you are left with a perfect little craft in which to float through your day, cradled and nourished in your own shell.
Float, bob,and sail on…
Let Go…
Forgiveness is letting go of the idea that the past can be better.
Unconditionally
You are light. I am light.
You are happy. I am happy.
I see you — the vibrant, perfect energy that is you.
I don’t need you to have struggles in order to feed my stories.
You are loved. You will prosper.
You will release patterns that hurt you.
You are released from serving my insecurities.
Be free of the shackles of my faults, my fears, my challenges. They are not yours.
Thank you for carrying them, for holding onto them so dearly, but you no longer need to.
I don’t need them anymore and neither do you.
We can just exist in the pure and natural state of joy that we are…
no stories, no struggles…
just light and love.
Rainbows in the Sky
Just when you think you know what the sky holds and the clouds look like, you glance upwards and see a swirling prism glistening on the wide blue canvas above you. Then, you remember the magnificence, the bliss, the joy that are always there for you…if you just notice.
Belief Thief
I wonder what my days would be if I only engaged beliefs that fuel my natural state of peace and joy.
What if I stopped taking on beliefs that don’t serve me – beliefs others have about me or what I think they think?
What if I were to just be…perfectly imperfectly me…and to stop being a belief thief?
Love Songs on the Breeze
Stand in the forest and just listen. You will hear the trees singing. It’s a quiet song that floats on the breeze as they gently sway in the currents of the air. Their song says “I love you…for all that is you…no matter what comes with you into the forest.” The trees welcome you, happy to have you there, just as you are.
Carry the kindness of the trees with you as you move through the jungle of life. Welcome all, just as it is. Then, feel the joy rise up in you that comes from this unconditional love. Feel the joy of being a tree swaying in the breeze, singing songs of love.
The Silver Lining
There is always a silver lining. It may be thin and barely visible, but it’s there, hugging the darkness, giving it form, and offering the portal, the transition from darkness to light. It’s always there. It just may take a little more effort to find it sometimes.
Feel the Road
When you look out the car window do you see what is to come, what you have passed, or what is there right now? When you look in the rearview mirror, do you see what is behind you or is it right there with you? Can you meet yourself in the space between the past and future, your experiences all merging seamlessly to create the landscape that is this present moment? Are you aimlessly passing by each moment or are you actively immersed in the experience?
See it, feel it, live it…every moment.
