Laugh

I am a recovering serious person. I don't think I will ever totally break the habit but I am learning (little by little) that life should be fun and that I need to laugh much more!

Not just at myself but at life in general. I have had some lessons in that recently with a series of cosmic jokes. Situations that have helped me to see that I can either find the humor in it or let it ruin an otherwise delightful day.

I feel so much better when I can laugh instead of cry.

Hold on Loosely

One of the hardest things to do when you love someone is to not hold on too tight. It very quickly can turn from love into control and manipulation.

We all need to choose whatever it is that makes us happy and not fear losing those we love.

I think 38 Special said it best - Hold on loosely but don't let go....

Pave Your Journey with Joy

Each of us has to make our own way in the world. It is not so much the route we choose that makes the difference but how we see the path.  It can be a difficult climb against the steep terrain or a grand hillside adventure.  Whatever the circumstances, you will love the view at the top if you pave your journey with joy!

Circle of Life

June has been a month of both tremendous joy and deep sorrow in my life. There were births that filled my heart with delight and deaths that I thought I might not recover from.

All were events that changed me forever but now I can see it as the perfect unending circle of life.

Never Enough

Why is it that when we wish and hope for something and then attain it we feel the excitement diminished and we are left wanting more?

It is because our desire is the energy pulsing through us that is the unstoppable expansion of life.

Each time we accomplish what we desire we must ask for more because in the eternal pursuit of spirit it will never be enough.

Help Yourself First

The airlines have a safety instruction that in the event of an emergency you must put on your mask before assisting another passenger. The message is very clear – you cannot help anyone if you do not help yourself first.

If someone is ill you cannot help them if you aren’t healthy, if they are poor you cannot help if you are living in poverty. But if you are thriving and well you will have so much more to give.

If you want to be of true assistance to others you must always help yourself first!

Defining Moments

We all have defining moments in our lives, the instant that something occurs that changes us forever. For me one of those moments came last year when my grandson was born.

To say that it was a life altering experience would be an understatement. The immense joy that has filled my heart is more than I could have ever hoped for.

In one miraculous moment everything became very clear and suddenly I understood all that was good and possible in the world.

Happy 1st Birthday to my precious baby!
