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.
Brave hearts do not express courage with reckless abandon, fearlessly, wildly lunging forward. Rather, with discipline, wisdom, and awareness they intentionally explore a space that feels unfamiliar, unsafe, and with trust in themselves they willingly go there anyway.
Meek is not to be cowardly, rather it is gentle, patient, non-violent, and creates a soft space from which your power emerges in its most natural form – one of compassion, vision, abundance, and joy. Be meek.
One world, countless interpretations…pick the perspective that feeds your soul.
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.

Dissolving the idea that work, life, or who I am needs direction, drive, determination, pain or intense commitment. Simply moving along wherever the joy takes me. Knowing that is enough.
Joyously moving forward.
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.
Thoughts floating by like clouds in the sky.
Watching…smiling…simply noticing.
The breeze blows.
The water glistens.
The sun shines.
…always in the place of my heart.
When you remove the pit in the center and scoop up the pulp on a chip, you are left with a perfect little craft in which to float through your day, cradled and nourished in your own shell.
Float, bob,and sail on…
