No expectations.
No resolutions.
Just Intention.
Your desired gift to yourself and the world, celebrated, shared.
Put away doubt and fear.
Repeat your intention with truth — make it so.
“I am…”
Radiant…joyful…powerful…open…beautiful…graceful…confident…inspiring…
Calm…strong…grounded…intelligent…aware…wise…
Compassion…acceptance…love…peace…
I am…
I AM.
Another new year…
Another new day…
Another new minute…
Another new moment…
Another opportunity for joy.
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.
Happy is as happy does.
Feed your happy.
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.
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.
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.
Forgive and forget, so they say…but can you forget and forgive?
What if you forgot to send out an email that hundreds of folks were counting on for inspiration? That marked the beginning of your new week? That added a little lightness to someone’s day or made a difference in some little way?
Could you forgive yourself enough to send that message a day late, still filled with love and inspiration? Could you love yourself enough to honor the hectic pace that got away from you without judging too harshly your set of priorities? Could you simply say, “This message will still matter and will serve its purpose, even in this different time dimension.”
I hope so…
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.
