May you open up to everything that is you; without judgment, in complete vulnerability knowing you have you, through the love that is you(rs). When we expand (‘think expansion’) and not contract, we allow our bodies and minds to breathe; emotions and circulation to flow; and dreams and desires to be created from deep within; […]

I saw where someone had pulled up the “Six of Clubs” [thank you] from one of my past, long ago posts.  It reminded me that I used to think of a card and then look up the meaning.  It was fun if nothing else.  And, it often coincided in some way with my experience of […]

“This full Moon corresponds to Vesak, also known as Buddha Purnima, a holiday observed by Buddhists across Asia. Sometimes informally called “Buddha’s Birthday,” it commemorates the birth, enlightenment, and death of Gautama Buddha. The actual date of Vesak varies depending upon the calendar in use in the particular country or region, but this year for […]

“There must be another life she thought, sinking back into her chair, exasperated.  Not in dreams; but here and now, in this room, with living people.  She felt as if she were standing on the edge of a precipice with her hair blown back; she was about to grasp something that just evaded her.  There […]

The result of the metabolic shutdown is a profound imprinted stress response.“    Google It is known that trauma and stress are two major reasons/catalysts for dis-ease and change.   I used to volunteer for hospice […]

If you find yourself having a ‘bad’ moment, time, day, or even prolonged period, perhaps, ask yourself if there is one slither of ‘not bad’ that you can see and feel inside of you…  Is there one place/thought/feeling that balances out or outweighs the ‘bad’ that you are experiencing…  Is there something that you can […]

I recently had my 60th birthday.  Woo hoo.   I’ve been in a sad lane that life is going so fast.  I’ve been in the appreciation lane that I made it to 60 because I, at one time, didn’t think I would live to 30.  I also have experienced the freedom in turning 60 which […]

“Valuing ourselves within our relationships also means we do not act or speak just to please others or to make them happy. It means we do our best daily to be completely honest with ourselves and with whomever we’re relating to, even if they want or expect something different or something more from us. When […]
