Perspective is everything.
Perspective applies the lens, tells the story, creates the experience, leaves the memory, defines impressions and molds beliefs.
Is it time to change the lens?

I am
I am earth, holding your deepest secrets.
I am water, bending and moving to carry you.
I am air, lifting and inspiring you.
I am fire, igniting your passion and will.
I am the freedom you have to soar.
I am all that is within and around you.
I am.
I am you.
INDEED
What is my true purpose?
To make great food?
To see and nurture the gifts in others?
To tread gently in this world?
To marvel at the rain?
To be joyful?
To care for the who that I am?
To know peace?
To live in love?
Yes. Yes, indeed.
My true purpose is to align my doing with my being and to act with vision, intention, and determination.
The River
Today I will soften into the power of me.
I will flow like a river on a determined path,
fully yielding to the unexpected turns and objects along the way,
not giving into them but using them to jettison me forward,
staying true to myself, even in the face of the unknown…
strong, serene, complete in who I am.
Knowing that my strength is in my peace.
Ultimate Strength
Softness that bends like a blade of grass.
Truth expressed with kindness.
Reverence for all life.
Elasticity to bounce right back.
Nimbleness of a spry young nymph.
Grace that holds others hearts like a leaf catching a falling dewdrop.
Trust that actions today will yield a grander tomorrow.
Happiness in all outcomes.
The Perfect Cup
Fill your cup and keep it full, not just of anything, but with what nourishes, strengthens, and completes you. Nothing bitter, nothing bland, nothing that blocks well-being. Simply delicious, comforting, fulfilling. Sip, smile, refill.
Still Perfection
The other day as I lay in stillness at the end of my yoga practice a sensation came over me, one of equanimity, of wholeness -a rather unfamiliar but wonderfully delightful and nostalgic sense of seeing and experiencing pure peace, joy, and perfection. It washed over me and surrounded me as if I was marveling at something on the outside, someone else’s greatness. Then I realized…this was the feeling I often had as a very young child. Pure peace and joy in who I am.
To know that it was all still there – the peace, the joy, the perfection – despite the countless blemishes and scars of a well worn life gave me such resounding hope – hope for the child within me, hope for the child within you.
It is in there, always, forever, no matter what…that we are whole, perfect beings, each and every one of us, each and every moment of our existence.
We just need to remember that.
And, as long as we can remember we will know peace and joy.

As easily as a mark is left on the sand it is left on the heart.
Honor Who You Are
Whether you decide to tuck it all in tight or let it all hang out, as long as you honor your natural spirit and find joy where you are there’s nothing more you need to do.
Master of My Domain
To be the master of my domain does not mean to have ultimate power and be in control of everything. Rather, it is to live in complete balance with all that exists in and around me and be in harmony with everything.
