The morning after a big snow storm so often arrives with visions of beauty, inspires feeling of hope, and brings a sense of aliveness, courage, serenity.
The true challenge comes in experiencing those things during the storm.

Contrast
Look for the contrast…the inordinary combination of experiences that color your life, that offer surprise, that stand out and remind you that anything is possible, and so much more striking with distinction. Seek and find joy in the contrast that makes life pop.
Strength
Strength is not born of rigidity or impenetrable barriers.
Strength is open, flowing, embracing…a constant balance of contracting inwards and expanding outwards.
Strength is resilience, peace, ease.
Strength is the unstoppable force of love.
Flowering
Sometimes the world outside seems so bleak, so grey, so dim…without hope.
Then I dig down inside to find my deepest self, alive and blooming.
There, I find peace and promise flowering.
And the world seem a little less grey.
Smiling Eyes
When the care is genuine, unconditional and free,
the eyes portray that authenticity.
When you truly love what you do and where you are,
the heart shines, the air softens, the eyes smile.
When you look into smiling eyes,
there you find hope, joy, inspiration.
Waiting…
Awaiting the first snowflake.
Watching the bobber at the end of the fishing line.
Waiting to become something else.
Anticipation can be joyous or anxious.
Anxious anticipation is worry.
Joyful anticipation is patience.
Smile…and wait with joy.
Intension
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.
Evergreen
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.
There’s No Time In the Present
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.
The Fold
Where the mountains end and the sky begins
is the fold of the Universe,
where sadness and happiness collide,
where the past and the future meet today.
Look not on the convergence
with longing, searching,
or a need to see the separation.
The fold is a place
where none of that matters,
where there is no goodness or badness.
All just is.
Where all of the moments of life blend,
Effortlessly
Naturally
Joyfully
Complete.
