Love in action

Love in action 2

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.

Daily Injections

Joyful Yoga

“You’re Benjamin Buttoning,” my dear friend said.  What’s the secret?

Well-being.  When you have it, it shows.  It glows.

So, inject well-being into your life.  Let it flow through you, with you, and all around you…and then maybe you too will start to ‘Benjamin Button.’

How do you inject well-being?  More Joy… More Love…More Yoga.

“Certainly worth a try,” she said with a more youthful smile.

 

***

Celebrate National Yoga Awareness Month.  Take a yoga class or share yoga with a friend. Inject a little more well-being into your life!

Twinkle on

Twinkle On

Twinkling lights are so magical.  The anticipation of how they will brighten a path, shape a tree, light the way as night falls.  There’s a feeling that they were placed there just for me.  Sending a secret message of love and happiness.  Like a friendly smile, a generous hug, a simple wave, a knowing glance.  Twinkling lights make everything more special.

Twinkle on.

Stay on the Path of Love

Kripalu Lake

Worrying is about putting your thoughts, feelings, and planning into something you don’t want. Why waste that energy? Can you just focus on what you do want instead?

Close your eyes…take a deep breath in and out…envision your heart’s deepest desire. Now, frame that desire in a positive statement, like it’s already happening. Repeat that positive statement three times…and let it fill you.

Carry that statement with you and when your mind starts to wander down that path of worry, just bring it back here. Let your thoughts, feelings, and planning go into whatever brings you joy, peace, love.

It’s About Time

Time is Love

Choose wisely when you give your time as that is where you put your love.

When you give your time, be fully present. Give of it unconditionally.

It may serve to determine a shift in how you spend your time in the future. But for now you have chosen, directly or indirectly, to give that time.

You have invested yourself, you have brought your love, so give it fully to this experience, to this moment, and it cannot help but make the experience richer, the time more valuable, and the next investment clearer.

Time is love.
