Strength is not born of rigidity or impenetrable barriers.
Strength is open, flowing, embracing…a constant balance of contracting inwards and expanding outwards.
Strength is resilience, peace, ease.
Strength is the unstoppable force of love.

Flowering
Sometimes the world outside seems so bleak, so grey, so dim…without hope.
Then I dig down inside to find my deepest self, alive and blooming.
There, I find peace and promise flowering.
And the world seem a little less grey.
Smiling Eyes
When the care is genuine, unconditional and free,
the eyes portray that authenticity.
When you truly love what you do and where you are,
the heart shines, the air softens, the eyes smile.
When you look into smiling eyes,
there you find hope, joy, inspiration.
Intension
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.
Evergreen
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.
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.
Forget and forgive
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…
