    Welcome to Summer

    When I sit in silence, sometimes I grasp my opposite wrist. I feel my bones nestled neatly under my skin. We're spiritual beings in bodies

    Imagination

    I have the ability to imagine anything I want. I learned to prepare for the worst so I got really good at imagining worse-case scenarios.

    Living Without a Net

    Yesterday was a day in my history. I lived without a net. I stayed in the present. I didn’t look forward or back. It was a free day.

    I’m Forgetting to be Small

    I've lived my life in fear. I had an inside infrastructure designed to keep me safe. Making a commitment has changed everything and nothing.

    Courage to be Accountable

    I’ve decided to put a wall mirror in my meditation room. Nothing fancy. Just something I can gaze at to reinforce my accountability.

    Digging a Hole

    I once dug myself into a hole so deep that I had no idea how I would get out. It became my secret. And my burden.

    Testing my Wings

    I have lost my ability to sing. I wonder if my tender emotions have been part of it. So I went on a retreat to learn to love myself.

    Broken Open

    I was on a path where I was receptive and open. When one is in that state, one never knows the form the teacher will take.

    The Power of Compassion

    I remember the day I started a support group for parents and caregivers of chronically ill and special needs children. It didn't go well.

    Inner Storms

    I've talked about my commitment to serenity. I make it sound so simple. Words are easy to say. But how to truly live by them?

    Journey To Me

    I’ve learned how important it is to honor my needs, not deny them. Now I bow to the wisdom of my vessel and honor the inner alarms.

    The Valley of Bewilderment and Astonishment

    The love in this valley goes beyond love of self, love of other. I am in love but I do not know with whom.

    It Takes Courage

    My silence is a gift. My mind is a gift. My heart is a gift. My human vessel is a gift. I am in charge of rising. I am in charge.
