Let go…
Now, really let go…
Now, really, totally let go…
And, let it be.

On Her Merry Way
There once was a girl who carried a bag of doubt and shame.
And, she wore a coat of her ancestors’ woes.
One day, as she walked her path, her bag fell to the ground.
The contents of the bag rolled into a patch of wild flowers, glistening with peace and love.
As she gathered the contents of her bag, a few wild flowers mixed in.
She noticed how the flowers lightened her load and at the next patch added a few more.
At the next field, she filled her coat pockets with the flowers.
…and she floated along on her merry way.

Travel your path with peace and love.
Feel your connectedness with the earth.
Shine your light in the sky.
Stay well, positive, and true to your heart
and everything else will fall into place.
Just keep on keepin’ on…
Flowers Amongst the Weeds
My stepmother, an avid gardener, once said, as I asked how she figures out which plants to pull from her garden, which ones are weeds:
The only difference, my dear, between the flowers and the weeds, is which side of the fence they grow on.
Could it be the same with our thoughts and feelings? That we are working too hard to label them, to decide what side of the fence they reside on, to determine whether they are good or bad?
Can you allow your thoughts and feelings to just be a part of who you are? All coming and going, not divided by fences, simply there in that moment. All existing as beautiful pieces of who you are, precisely planted where they should be, part of the garden that is you.
Perhaps it’s time to tear down the fence along the garden’s edge and to allow the garden to shine in the beauty and richness of all that grows there.
Be Inspired
Set an intension, a collection of a few words that will guide or inspire you to achieve your true calling – not just how to make money, win friends, or fight the battle, but how to share your unique gifts, how you will leave your mark on the world.
Let the words come to you without too much effort and then let the intension resonate through you, creating a vision, but not an obsession. Allow life forces to rally around your intension and don’t get too caught up in the planning, the how’s and why’s. Just leap with confidence into each day, knowing that your intension bubbles up from your deepest self and can guide the most amazing, fulfilling experiences…if you just let it.
Free your inner self to guide you and let the Universe do the rest.
Make it a great week!
Whatever happens…
Whatever happened yesterday does not decide today. Whatever happens today will not determine tomorrow.
So, at the end of the day, no matter what has happened, know that you can wake up to a whole new tomorrow.
Apologies for this not getting to you on Monday — tried an “enhanced feature” on word press to set the delivery time and it appears it didn’t work! Happy Thursday!
Go with the Wind
Have you ever noticed how birds fly? Not just how they propel their bodies through the air so magically, but how they so effortlessly get out of each other’s way. Flying through wide open spaces in the sky, they maneuver instinctively, kindly, and gracefully as a community. Each has their assigned space, so it appears, but even when one veers off course, the group gathers in and keeps on going, supporting that one that briefly faltered. Sometimes hundreds of birds will be circling, swirling, and moving through the air at the same time — no collisions, no hurt feelings, no judgment. Every one honoring their own path and that of the birds that fly across theirs.
What would happen if we went through the hustle and bustle of our day more like birds? Instead of issuing judgment or disparaging remarks as someone flutters across your path, can you simply find another current to ride… tilt a wing…show them the way…and keep on going?
Soar on the wind with kindness and grace…and make it a great week!
Soar
Spread your wings. Feel the natural rhythms of the wind. Trust your instincts. Find ease in the work. Let your inner self guide you …and feel JOY.
Grateful
There are so many wonderous experiences and gifts in your life. But it is only through appreciation that the richness, the joy, and the abundance surfaces, completing and sealing those experiences as the gifts they really are.
Become aware of one thing that you can appreciate…right now. And feel grateful.
Great…
And
…Full
Love a little more
Settle your shoulders away from your ears, slide your shoulder blades down your back, squeeze them together a little, opening your heart space. Take a deep breath in and feel a little more love.
BREATHE! BREATHE deeply! Feel your chest rise, your ribs expand…FREE your heart. Shed the coat of armor, soften and expand the space surrounding your heart. Invite deeper and more fulfilling breath into the body, and begin to heal, soften, and strengthen your heart space.
Opening the heart allows you to forgive, let go of resentment, release fear…experience more freedom, more love, more joy.
Breathe. FREE your heart.
Keep BREATHing…love a little more.
