No Worries

Image
Hey, that thing you’re worried about—stop. Don’t waste another ounce of your precious energy on it. Instead, take this moment and ask yourself: am I loved? am I healthy? is there a roof over my head, food in my fridge, gas in my car, a little money in the bank? If you can say yes to any of these questions, then you have riches beyond measure and that worrisome thing, doesn’t matter, not even a little.  Live in Love friends, not fear. Be happy every moment. Do more of what nourishes your soul. Elevate your thoughts, take some deep breaths and smile—laugh with the purity of your inner child and marvel at the wonder of who you are—you are a tittle of our Divine Source, our Cosmic Consciousness, our Loving Creator and you are as beautiful and infinite as the Universe.  So stop worrying, none of it really matters anyway.   Always, be well. 

Be Kind, Be Well

  ♥️ this ♥️ Just had to re-share… I want you to look at this photo.  I mean -really- look at it.  What do you see? Two women. Two battles. Two hearts. Two souls. Two bodies.  When you look at this photo, try not to judge.  Instead, try to understand that we all face our own battles every day.  Some we might share with others, some we keep to ourselves. They might be obvious. They might not be. Everyone is facing something they struggle with.  EVERYONE.  And no matter what separates your battles from hers, his battles from theirs, we are ALL human. Be kind ❤ ************************* this photo touched my soul this photo moved me deeply  I have had an unhealthy relationship with food my entire life—as an adult, I have been a binge eater, growing to nearly 300 pounds and I have starved myself down to 117 on a 5’9” frame. Even though I am finally comfortable in my own skin, I will always struggle with my body image, as most women do, whether or...

Gratitude Journaling

Image
  Slipping into clean sheets The hum of a box fan Iced coffee to-go on Saturday morning Hot tea, daily Puppy kisses whenever possible Wind chimes before a storm Ambient Smooth Jazz  Writing traditional Haiku Yellow swallowtails Towering bright white cumulonimbus clouds Quantum physics  Birds of prey  The musical genius of composer John Williams  Gratitude keeps me humble. Gratitude keeps me from taking things for granted. Gratitude keeps me grounded. Gratitude keeps me ever focused on the present moment.  When was the last time you made a list of things for which you are grateful? Make one now, in the notes on your phone—add to it whenever the notion strikes you. Refer back to it when Ego gets in your head. A simple expression of gratitude allows the Divine spark within to show you what an extraordinarily abundant Life you are living, Now. Be well. 

Black Sheep

You do not have to explain the way you live your life. to. anyone. People will judge you—let them. Your life, your path, your journey, is yours and yours alone. People fear what they don’t understand. Your peace and bliss upset their demons. You are healing generational trauma. You go against the grain. You stepped outside the box, broke it down and got rid of it. You don’t conform to societal norms—good! That really gets ‘em steamed. Why? Who knows and who cares! By merely existing the way you do, you live rent free in their head—isn’t that funny.  Be your authentic self. Always, unabashedly. Let the haters hate. Power is the ability not to have to please, and you will never please everyone, so live your life unapologetically your way. You're no wallflower, let your Light shine. Be your best, truest self. Be mindful, grateful and kind in every moment. Smile at the sun, howl at the moon. Be silly. Be weird, embrace it. Find your people. Live your Truth. Love out loud. You know who ...

Three Crows

Image
  It started with one curious crow. He showed up one day and perched on the fence for a long time, checking out the lay of the land and probably trying to work out the physics of just how he was going to alight on any one of the hanging feeders filled with food. Crows up close and personal are bigger, and more beautiful, than you might think. I named him Corvin. He continued to come, alone, day after day as if he knew I was watching and waiting, as if he was trying to send me a message.  The first time I put out some whole peanuts—just tossed them on the ground. Corvin cautiously studied them from the fence line for a long time before diving in, literally, iridescent black wings carrying him gracefully to the ground. I held my breath as he cocked his head side to side, up to the sky, all around and back down to the feast I had laid out for him. I watched him shell nut after nut and then he took a beak full, extended those beautiful wings and flew away. Ahhhh, bliss. The next d...

Breaking Old Patterns and Behaviors

Image
  This past week, I was confronted with a very challenging situation that was a heavy dose of negativity—for days I was caught up in an uncomfortable drama that I, alone was causing. Instead of using my own knowledge and experience when difficult circumstances come— allowing them to flow through and then letting them go, I fixated on the problem, feeding it my frustration and anxiety until it became all consuming—an old pattern of behavior that was as easy as slipping into my favorite cozy pj’s. Last night as I was counting my blessings, something I haven’t done this past week because I was so consumed, I asked for guidance. How do I maintain my peace, my gratitude, my bliss, in a World that is anything but? How do I interact with people, places, things and events that seemingly want to douse the Light I’ve tried so hard to become? The answer came to me this morning so clearly, an answer that should have been obvious, an answer to which Source always gently guides me—write.  W...
