Dream freely. Create joyfully. Live happily.
Sparkle
Carefully pack and load the fuel of your inner self. Confidently launch it wide and free.
Let the essence of you sparkle like fireworks. Hear the oooos and ahhhhs.
Happiness
The art of happiness is to serve…not just those you choose to serve…not just at times that are convenient to serve…not just from the excess reserves…but to serve…all.

The Edge
Sometime you have to leap from the edge of the familiar to allow your true self to shine.
Awakening with the Setting Sun
Even as the north wind blows, full of power and force, bearing down on my bow, a peace and stillness comes with the setting sun. I surrender fully to this moment. Grounded and centered, feeling my emotions, my passion awakens.
Peeling Away the Layers
When I am truly present, I feel each experience within my body. I receive it with my breath. I prod it with my thoughts and explore it with my feelings. Then, as I peel away these aspects of experience, these many layers of me, my inner wisdom welcomes that experience, absorbing it like a sponge, until that experience becomes me.
When the layers dissolve, all that I experience is me.
Daybreak
In the stillness of daybreak, I quietly unfurl the sails of my deepest self and freely allow the winds of life to fill them.
Paradise
This time tomorrow there will be no rain.
Just clouds dancing by.
This time tomorrow there will be no rain.
Because, just as today, there can be no rain in the paradise of my heart.
Be you…
Let your true self shine…no matter what that looks like and as long as it feels good.
The Spring of Joy
Where does joy flow from? Riches? Popularity? Possessions? Or are these just means by which we hope to feel joyful? The essence of joy sought by the deepest self is that born on
a child’s smile,
the flitter of hummingbird wings in the air,
the rays of sunshine that glitter on the ocean’s edge,
the dewdrops glistening in a spider’s web,
the silent pause between doing and being,
the peace that flows on the breath,
the love that springs from the heart.
Ahh, joy from its purest source.
