Stand strong no matter temperature or conditions.
Shed the occasional brown needle with the wind.
Be nurtured and inspired by the earth, sun, and rain.
Stay evergreen with love and kindness.
And you will stand out in the forest amongst the trees.

The Season of Giving
Searching and racing?
Racing and pushing?
Depleted, distracted, disconnected?
Let your presence be the present.
Watch. Listen. Love.
“Let your heart speak to others’ hearts.” ~Yogi Bhajan
Surrender
Patience is
…trust
…presence
…holding a loving space
…allowing moment to unfold, unrushed, unaltered, with full belief that the value lies in letting go
…letting go of expectations, letting go of desire, letting go….
Patience is surrender.
Happy
Happy is as happy does.
Feed your happy.
Set your table with love and joy
It’s time to set the table and prepare for the feast…a feast not of food or of Black Friday specials, but of the hugs, smiles, and laughter that accompany a table set with love and joy.
The Lens
Lonely or peaceful
Empty or spacious
Burdened or fulfilled
Awaiting or needy
Ending or complete
Through the lens of love and compassion, the world can look so different.
Swirl
At times it feels like life is a whirling vortex — too many obligations, too much to do, all in the name of success.
But, just like in every space of darkness, there is a flicker of light, in every space of chaos there is moment of stillness – a space for a breath, a pause to say, “How does this feel?”
As you float in that momentary space, determine whether it is angst or joy. If it is joy, dive in. Swirl. Let everything else go.
Find your success in the joy.
There’s No Time In the Present
Time is fleeting, but only if you are looking forward or backward.
If you are truly present, then time is invariable. In the moment, time stands still.
If you want more time to do the things you love, then do the things you love.
Time does not fill spaces, spaces are filled with time.
Live your life fully present and you will find time.
Love in action
Compassion is love in action.
When you are compassionate with others, you accept them in a space of humble kindness. You are not excusing action or inaction on their part, rather you are fully acknowledging that the action or inaction is theirs and they are trying to do their best to be their best.
When you are compassionate with yourself, you invite the richest form of healing and growth imaginable within your deepest Self, knowing you are doing your best to be at your best.
Feel the love…unconditionally.
Feel compassion.
Nothing Else Matters
Repeat after me…
“I am happy.”
“I am good.”
Nothing else matters.
