As the sun rises, it is not our task to seek what is missing but to marvel in all that is there.

The Fog
Can I open my mind without thoughts rushing in? Can I clear the path and feel expansive and light when all my thoughts and feelings seem so dense and heavy? I focus on my breath — its softness, its calm and gentle assertiveness as it moves through my body — and I begin to notice the light, to feel the freedom, to be the quiet…to know the peace of just being. On my breath, the fog lifts and I expand beyond.
Where you are
Lonely or peaceful…longing or inviting…isolated or surrounded…empty or full?
It’s all in the lens you select.
Every breath a new beginning
With each exhale, I let go with full gratitude. I empty spaces, create hollows and clear out the residue of all that has created and sustained me.
Then, with effortless ease, the inhale comes swirling in, creating the next new vibrant moment, filling the gaps and hollows, adding onto the full, rich, and vital being that is me.
And so it is that I welcome every exhale with delight, knowing that I am creating the very pathway for my next new beginning and welcome every new beginning as it rides in upon my next breath…again and again and again.
Every breath a new beginning.
Focus
Awareness is like a lens that allows you to choose your perspective, to decide what part of the view is clear or fuzzy. The perspective you choose determines your story.

Wisdomful
We say we want our children to be more mindful, but aren’t they already in their minds enough? Why don’t we encourage them instead to be more wisdomful?

Container
No matter what size the container, we all have the same-sized Self. See the light within.
Now
Happy…now…happy…now…happy…now…happy…now.
It really is that easy.
Climb In, Cuddle Up
Whether the Universe creates the nook
or you carve it out yourself,
climb in, cuddle up with peace and joy,
and let everything else go.
Clouds
Thoughts floating by like clouds in the sky.
Watching…smiling…simply noticing.
