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.
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
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.
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 world is full of givers and takers. I’m a giver. On some days it seems there are a whole lot more takers. I used to get upset about that. Now, I just spend more time with givers. Unless I want to feel useful…then I hang out with the takers.
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.
Do you really need to be right?
Is there just one answer to the question?
Can’t we find space for both our opinions?
Perhaps in this complex Universe
We are intended to have different perspectives.
Perhaps through our varying views
We can impact the greatest change.
It’s easy to partner with those who share
The same point of view.
Divinely powerful to embrace that which is different.
Could it be that our opinions intertwined,
Instead of butted against each other,
Can lead to greatness beyond each of us
As we stand in our opinions alone?
Let’s partner in our differences,
Nod to each other’s strengths.
Let’s meet at the top of that mountain,
grow the Universe stronger and brighter
With love, compassion, and respect
For one another and our opinions.
