Burning Embers

Fire Within closeup

The embers of the fire need tending to keep them bright and strong, to share their light, to give off their warmth.  They are not intended to be smothered, but to be gently stoked and shared, to be given a safe space to fully express themselves. Nurture those burning embers and know the power and joy of that light within.

Every breath a new beginning

20151001_120510With each exhale, I let go with full gratitude. I empty spaces, create hollows and clear out the residue of all that has created and sustained me.

Then, with effortless ease, the inhale comes swirling in, creating the next new vibrant moment, filling the gaps and hollows, adding onto the full, rich, and vital being that is me.

And so it is that I welcome every exhale with delight, knowing that I am creating the very pathway for my next new beginning and welcome every new beginning as it rides in upon my next breath…again and again and again.

Every breath a new beginning.

Focus

sunglass 1

Awareness is like a lens that allows you to choose your perspective, to decide what part of the view is clear or fuzzy.  The perspective you choose determines your story.

Wisdomful

We say we want our children to be more mindful, but aren’t they already in their minds enough?  Why don’t we encourage them instead to be more wisdomful?

Joyously Moving Forward

Joyously Moving Forward 2

Dissolving the idea that work, life, or who I am needs direction, drive, determination, pain or intense commitment. Simply moving along wherever the joy takes me. Knowing that is enough.

Joyously moving forward.
