Love the world, in an ever widening circle of kindness, and keep loving until the day when love conquers all hatred and no one and no thing is excluded from loves tender embrace. For of all the treasures in life, there is nothing better than giving a person a piece of your heart!

Wow, the sky is so clear this morning. I’m helping a client work on her self discipline later today. So while I sat and watched the sun rise, I was thinking about intentions, being clear about them, and bringing them to life. What does it take?

Dr. Wayne Dyer says: “Intention is not something you do, but rather a force that exists in the universe as an invisible field of energy- a power that can carry us. It’s the difference between motivation and inspiration. Motivation is when you get hold of an idea and don’t let go of it until you make it a reality. Inspiration is the reverse- when an idea gets hold of you and you feel compelled to let that impulse or energy carry you along. You get to a point where you realize that you’re no longer in charge, that there’s a driving force inside you that can’t be stopped. Look at the great athletes, musicians, artists, and writers. They all tap into a source.” read more

“Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.

Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.” read more

“I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed … Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.”
~ Michael Jordan

It’s another Monday, and that’s the message the sun held for me today, as it had to struggle to burst over that big cloud embankment. I have a full week – Of bringing dreams to life, juggling time between helping others with their pursuits, and launching my own visions. But I’m up for the challenge!! Life is grand. read more

“Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand-and melting like a snowflake…”

Sundays seem to always have this more relaxed feel to them for me. It’s not that I’ll accomplish less today, I’ll just be going about it a little differently. I wonder what I can do to bring this “Sunday” feeling to everyday other day of the week … Turning down the heat in the hand, so the snowflake melts a bit slower … ? read more

“Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes – every form of animate or inanimate existence, leaves its impress upon the soul of man”.

As part of my zen training, I gave up watching the news. Especially in the morning. But this morning, I couldn’t help but turn on the Weather Channel to see Nemo the Blizzard. Leaves me wishing I could put on a snow suit and go outside and make some snow people and snow angels. I suppose I could hit the beach and make sand castles and sand angels. But it’s just not the same …. I do sometimes miss the beauty of winter. read more
