The Season of Giving
Searching and racing?
Racing and pushing?
Depleted, distracted, disconnected?
Let your presence be the present.
Watch. Listen. Love.
“Let your heart speak to others’ hearts.” ~Yogi Bhajan
Happy
Happy is as happy does.
Feed your happy.
Swirl
At times it feels like life is a whirling vortex — too many obligations, too much to do, all in the name of success.
But, just like in every space of darkness, there is a flicker of light, in every space of chaos there is moment of stillness – a space for a breath, a pause to say, “How does this feel?”
As you float in that momentary space, determine whether it is angst or joy. If it is joy, dive in. Swirl. Let everything else go.
Find your success in the joy.
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.
Nothing Else Matters
Repeat after me…
“I am happy.”
“I am good.”
Nothing else matters.
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.
Invite the Light Back In
Dance…laugh…cry…sing
Invite the sunlight back again.
It truly is that easy to go from darkness to light.
What’s stopping you???
Today is your Lucky Day!
There is something that has just happened or will happen any moment for which you can be grateful…you just have to choose to see it that way.
It will warm your heart, bubble up into your brain, and remind you how incredible your life is…if you’ll only let it.
Laugh…and Open New Possibilities
Laughter is a strong medicine for mind and body. It is a powerful antidote to stress, pain, and conflict. It also lightens burdens, inspires hopes, connects you with others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert.
There are many physiological and psychological benefits to laughter.

Laughter is a catalyst for creativity, new discoveries, and enhanced relationships, with oneself and others. Laugh more and you will find that you become more relaxed, positive, creative, joyful, and balanced.
Try this simple exercise: Take a full breath in and then draw your shoulders up towards your ears. Hold your shoulders up close to your ears. Count to two and then as you exhale, move your shoulders down and up quickly as you laugh, “ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha”, for six or eight times in a row. Repeat several times. Notice the release of tension in your upper body, notice your renewed energy and freer flow of breath.
Enjoy the benefits of laughter and know that, with every laugh…you open new possibilities for the Universe.
Make it a great week!
