Be Meek

eggs touched up

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.

The Fog

FullSizeRender

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.

My Being of Unconditional Love

IMG_2379

My body is the vessel of my being.

It holds me, carries me, represents and protects me.

Why do I judge it, harm it, ignore it?

My body has unconditional love for me, always doing its best to support whatever next idea I have about how to decorate it, what to put into it, how to use it.

It will not last forever and it may not always be able to do or give me what I want, but in the still of the night, no matter what I ask of it, if I listen very carefully, I can hear it saying, “I love you”…every organ, every bone, every muscle, every cell.

It’s time to love it back…unconditionally.

Burning Embers

Fire Within closeup

The embers of the fire need tending to keep them bright and strong, to share their light, to give off their warmth.  They are not intended to be smothered, but to be gently stoked and shared, to be given a safe space to fully express themselves. Nurture those burning embers and know the power and joy of that light within.

Inspired

Do things that inspire you…not things you do because you have to.  Do things because they feel right.

Create a space of joy around all that you do and you will no longer need to be motivated or driven.

Do what you do to fulfill you – not to take you to some better place, but to complete you right where you are.

Replace motivation with inspiration and feel true satisfaction in your work.

Every breath a new beginning

20151001_120510With 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.
