With the intention of connecting within and writing a morning meditation, I practice exercises to wake up my energy body.

I give attention to a spiritual tool as I set an intention to use it in my daily self-care

I started looking back on all the topics and tools we’ve reflected on over these 500 days. Today, I picked one to look at.

Gentle Teaching is an approach to help those struggling to feel safe, feel love, be engaged and show gentleness and love to each other.

I thought worrying was a problem specific to me until I learned about psychological time versus clock time.

With open arms I welcome Spring with the newness, the color and warmth. Inspiration offers an overall dose of good. So I made a decision.
