Loss

Today I heard of another friend who lost their mother.... It gives me great pause to hear that news. It instantly brings me back to that life altering moment almost 19 years ago when my own mother passed.

There is nothing you can say or do, it is only the love and sympathy you feel deep in your heart for anyone who experiences such a loss. You know their life will never be the same.

Mirror Mirror

What do we see when we look into the mirror. So often we don't even acknowledge what is really there. Do we see the beauty that exists in each of us or do we focus on the imperfections?

Most often what we see in others is only a reflection of what we hide from ourselves. There is a lot to learn if we can see what is really in the mirror.

What do I Support

Most of what we learn in the world is protest, being against something in one form or another. What I am beginning to learn now is that every time we push against something the other side becomes further out of reach.

If I want peace and prosperity in my life then I have to concentrate on that and not on war or poverty.

If energy flows where thoughts go then I want my full attention to be on those things that I love and support!

Treasure Hunt

Life is full of treasure, not buried but out in plain sight if we just look for it. It is so easy to notice those things that we don't like but if we change our perspective we will see the precious gems that are all around us.

Sometimes I make a game of it and see how many things I can find when I am going about my normal day. Maybe a sweet child smiled at me or I saw someone helping someone in need. No matter where I am I always find things that touch my heart and make me smile.

Go on a treasure hunt of your own and see what you can find.

Perfect Time

Sometimes it can be difficult to accept that things don’t happen exactly when we want them to. So often we try to control it and then we are disappointed in the outcome.

There is a beautiful unfolding to life and it will all happen in the perfect way and at the perfect time.

Sharing

Every day is a new opportunity to share the blessings I have in my life. What is so unbelievable to me is that the more I give the more I receive and it just continues to grow…

Today it was as simple as waiting patiently at the grocery store behind people who had to use assistance to pay for their food, or giving the sweet woman $20 for the delicious tamales she sells in the parking lot.

It reminds me how truly fortunate I am and how I always want to find ways to share that with others.

Transported

I love those things that transport me in time. Like watching an old movie or hearing a great song from my childhood. Having that lovely memory is not a wish to go back but more of a confirmation of how I became who I am now.

Feeling all the intense emotions I had as a young girl combined with the life experience of a grown woman is very exhilarating to me. It’s like being a time traveler and having the best of all worlds!
