Self-discovery

We discover ourselves,

not in travel,

but by being still.

Soulful living

I feel an ache so deep 

that I can do nothing 

but follow it...

New beginnings

Things grow,  

die away, 

then blossom again…

Connecting within ourselves

Clean the window to your soul 

so the rays of the sun sparkle

in your heart...

Self-honesty

Its good to see others through 

eyes of compassion as long as 

your eyes tell the truth, 

otherwise you will be foolishly

blinded by your denial.

Enjoying life

It is the season for joy.

Free of desire,

I am content 

to lie in the grass

and breathe in 

the mystery of life.

Transformation

Feel the sunlight enticing you to come out and play

as you emerge from your cocoon to become 

a beautiful butterfly...

An open heart

Let love

seep into 

 everything 

  you do.

Seeing our greatness

You are not who you think you are.

You are so much more…

Enjoying the journey

As long as there is something new to learn,

        the adventure will never be over… 

Happiness

We are forced to seek external happiness 

if our true source of joy (which is within us), 

is buried under our wounds...

Feeling grounded

Plant your feet firmly into the earth,

and at the same time,

stretch your fingertips to the sky, 

to the moon, to the stars…

Celebrating life

When you follow the rhythm 

of your own truth,

you will dance joyfully with life.

Faith

Erase the well-worn footprints of yesterday,

trusting that your new path is perfect for you...

Fresh beginnings

Picture yourself as a woman who

has released old negative stories

about herself and has rewritten

the pages of her life with kindness

and compassion.

Suppression

Many of us were taught as children 

to swallow our feelings, 

but suppression is a breeding ground

for isolation and loneliness.

Acceptance

When you no longer look 

at the world through your past,

you’ll have mastered your lessons.

When you have mastered your lessons,

there will no more suffering.

And when you glance back in the rearview mirror, 

you’ll see how perfect your life has been.

Clarity

Sometimes our world

has to be turned upside down

in order for us to have

a clearer view of whether

we are fully living or 

merely existing...

***

Picture yourself as...

Picture yourself as a woman who...

has found her way back to 

who she is.

like the moon and the stars,

knows her purpose in life.

feels the pull of her soul gently

leading her into the unknown...

***

Seeing our gifts...

We all have special abilities.

It can be our thirst for adventure, 

our compassion for others,

or the peaceful rhythm in which we dance with life.

It can be our ability to grow more beautiful with age, 

see the world through a lens of optimism, 

or how we live in moment because we have 

chased off the ghosts of our past.

It can be how we weather our storms,

or how we share ourselves with the world...

***

An open heart

Picture yourself as  

a woman whose

soul is infused

with the colors

 of a rainbow...

***

Feeling connected

The real journey begins when

you pry yourself loose of fear.

When you are no longer afraid, 

the world becomes your friend.

***

Compassion

When we descend to

 the bottom of sorrow,

we rise with a softer rim 

around our hearts and 

a deeper appreciation for life.

***

A new day

Picture yourself as a woman who

gently closes the door on her past.

***

Lost at sea

A heart that doesn’t avail itself

is like a ship without a compass.

Looking inward

It is much more painful 

to live an unexamined life 

than it is to look

deeply at ourselves…
