As a member of Spiritual Directors’ International, I participated in a Native American Spirituality workshop. The messages were profound.

When I'm in the unfamiliar, I disappear. I steady my breath. Today, I step over the threshold into my alignment.

Life is full of opposites. The only consistent non-changing aspect is my inner light, my inner spark, my inner fire.

On this marked day of renewal for life, for love, for all sentient beings on this Earth, I offer this prayer.

My body is a feedback system. I tune in every morning and get today’s forecast. Am I in my body? I feel my body sensations.

Covid is looking in my window. I experience a guided meditation early this morning, and tears welled up. I choose to face my fear.

I know there are things you want. I know you want to be in charge. But integration is called for. It feels like death but it is not.

I breathe in patience and breathe out compassion. I stand as one with my spirit and human body, guided by my soul. I am whole.

Awakened by images this morning at 3:33, I thanked the angel who disturbed my sleep. Life unfolds day by day, lesson by lesson.

It’s been quite the time, the past 365 days. It takes commitment to look into my soul and remember integrity defines me, not fear.

When I’m a funk, I send out an SOS to my Higher Power for more understanding and comfort. Then I let go my request so I don't weigh it down.

Like the ocean, we ebb and flow in both sides of life: love and fear. We hold the wisdom to stand steady and allow the flow of love and fear

The breaking open reveals the doors to love and fear, the paradox of life. Both are always present because we are human and we are spirit.

The mind sticks to what it knows soaking up knowledge by example or taught by often wounded teachers. I am more.

We can grumble for those not heeding the warnings about getting together. The bottom-line truth today is gratitude, an emotion of the heart

We are on a journey. A mini incubator of life. Each of us seeks support because we've been broken open by pain. There's more to life.

I have used food all my life to hide my pain. Then I faced my food issues as a spiritual practice.

I feel a sense of belonging in this beloved community, I prioritize this time and work my schedule around it.

It’s time we put down the fight and pick up the love. It’s time we see the good in the different.

We are living in extraordinary times. Stay steady and true to yourself like the water wheel, knowing the next turn brings more insights
