Healing Place
“As a spiritual person, nature for me has always been a healing place. Going back all the way to my childhood on the farm, the fields and forests were places of adventure and self-discovery. Animals were companions and friends, and the world moved at a slower, more rational pace than the bustling cities where I’d resided my adult life.” ~David Mixner

puesta de sol
Happy Friday, Everyone! As another week comes to a close, let’s boost our spirits by speaking words of gratitude over our week. Even if you have had a tough experience, or you dislike your job, or you are extremely exausted by the stress, verbalizing positivity will greatly increase your emotional energy for enjoying your weekend, and for entering the fray again next week. Whisper words of genuine thankfulness for your provisions, for friends you leaned on, for unexpected delights, for your safety, for the good work you performed, for anticipated bad news that never happened, for everything you learned, etc. Finish by saying, “I am truly blessed!” Even if things were far from perfect or desirable, affirming your blessings will strengthen your inner core. Try it! Let me know if you did indeed feel uplifted!

Cimmaron Snowshine
“When you can’t find the light,
That got you through the cloudy days,
When the stars ain’t shinin’ bright,
You feel like you’ve lost you’re way,
When those candle lights of home,
Burn so very far away,
Well you got to let your soul shine,
Just like my daddy used to say.
He used to say soulshine,
It’s better than sunshine,
It’s better than moonshine,
Damn sure better than rain.”
~lyrics by guitarist Warren Haynes (1994, Allman Brothers Band)

Stretch Your Limbs
Barbara Lazear Ascher said, “There is a need to find and sing our own song, to stretch our limbs and shake them in a dance so wild that nothing can roost there, that stirs the yearning for solitary voyage.” Few ever get to experience that level of total-abandonment. Most of us are dedicated shoulder-to-the-grindstone
Fan into flame the gift of God that is within you!

Inscribe Love
Where is the mark on this world that says you have been here? No, I’m not talking about carving your name in a tree trunk (please don’t do that). Perhaps your legacy is recorded on paper – great, but paper disintegrates. Maybe your words have been carved into stone – congratulations, but stones can be broken. Inscribe your love on hearts and your mark will last forever.
