Freedom from guilt

Guilt (whether it's our own or guilt we lay on others) separates us from God, 

people, and ourselves. It steals our sense of connection, our joy, 

and our peace of mind..

Connecting to others

Love is the lesson we're all here to master...

Doing life

Life is about patience, forgiveness, tolerance,

continuing to grow so that we can be our best, 

and random selfless acts of kindness...

Investing ourselves in love

When we allow ourselves to judge, blame, practice a belief system that subscribes 

to guilt and punishment, our hearts are forced to live on a battleground. In taking responsibility for our part in things and no longer seeing ourselves as victims, in forgiving ourselves and others, and by practicing true compassion, our hearts will flourish and we will have put an end to the idea of war and separation... 

Pure love

Love is not about choosing who give our affections to. 

It's about living with an open heart; a heart free of judgement.  

Often the hardest people to love are our best teachers. 

Connecting with our inner self

We hide our pain, even from ourselves, because we don't want to feel it. 

We swallow hurt because we think showing our emotions is a sign of weakness. 

However, the definition of courage is the ability to connect with our own feelings...

Healing

When we have made peace with the past,

we come to know freedom...

Loving all that is

Universal love is not the same as personal love. 

Universal love spills itself into every experience.

Universal love is self-love expressing itself outwardly.

Open arms

If it hurts to hang on, it's time to let go. 

Letting go doesn't necessarily mean we have to give up something. 

Sometimes, we just need to loosen our grip...

Loving you

Don’t try to prove yourself. 

Just be yourself.

Seeing only good...

 There is beauty in all that is... The ability to see it comes from 

accepting things as they are, not as we wish them to be...

Growing wings

Life will always hand us the perfect lesson...

Friendship

A genuine relationship is built on trust, respect, 

and direct, honest communication... 

Faith

Sometimes the best thing we can do to help someone is to simply trust their journey. 

The kind of faith that it takes to do that comes from our ability to trust our own journey...

Aligning with our soul

If we have the good fortune to discover the things 

that speak to our soul, we then, must have the courage to 

create a life that represents what we love...

A new beginning

Fear creates a bleak little world. Bleakness creates feelings of hopelessness. How do we manage the hopelessness? We find ways to run from it through addiction. We become addicted to having fun, feeling good, chasing the feeling of happiness, love, power, achieving... How do we overcome these self-defeating habits? We begin to create something new by stepping away from these behaviors, facing whatever fears we were running from to begin with, and trust God for the rest...

Looking deeper

Free yourself of worldly ideas.

Meaning is found when we look 

beyond the meaningless...

A season of joy

Free of desire, I am content to lie in the grass

and breathe in the mystery of life...

Releasing old stories

Going up

The higher you rise,

the clearer the view...

Finding ourselves

When we abandon ourselves, loneliness lives in 
the shadow of every decision we make...

Being grateful

Lack doesn't exist for those who

live in a state of gratitude…

Getting ready to fly

You’ll never know how high you can soar

until you have tested your wings...

Being you

The more you let yourself be you, 

the happier you will be...

A kind heart

 Compassion makes us beautiful

A child's joy

Don't ever lose the child-like part of you that is curious,

 playful, adventurous, spontaneous, open-hearted, 

and who is awed by the simplest moments...

The happy learner

Sometimes truth isn't pretty nor easy to accept, 

but a true seeker is someone who knows that truth is their friend... 

Creating color

In earlier years, I was closed minded. The little world I had boxed myself into had no color or wiggle room. Things were either black or white, right or wrong. All things which were taught to me as a child. It wasn't until life became really painful that I began to examine what I had created. Since then, it has been a process of un-learning, re-creating, listening to my own truth...

Loving all that is

  Let love seep into everything you do...

Being guided by God

It is your season for joy. 

Life wants to take you places 

so beautiful that

you haven’t even dreamed 

of them yet.

Be sure to leave behind all 

the pieces of the past 

that won’t compliment 

the beauty of what 

lies ahead.

Don’t diminish the experience

by trying to plan the journey.

Your soul hungers for 

something that is beyond

the realm of your mind.

     The moment you say “yes”,

    your old life will vanish 

    and your new one 

     will dazzle you with

it’s splendor…

Precious moments

Some of the most precious gifts may be the ones 

we underestimate: fellowship, faith, simplicity, serenity...

Picture yourself...

Picture yourself as a woman who

stays beautifully balanced with humility, 

is comfortable in her own skin, 

loves without attachments...

Knowing ourselves

What is your story? Your biggest hurdle?

Your saddest moment? What makes you laugh? 

Are you forgiving, flexible? Is it easy to be vulnerable?

How do you treat yourself? What are your dreams?

Hearing God

Living soulfully means listening to our conscience.

Heart wide open

The more we open our minds and hearts,

the more fully we live...

Friendship

The best kind of friends are the ones 

who alway encourages us to be ourselves...

The sweeter things....

There are no moments too small

when it comes to the heart...

Self-care

How we feel about ourselves determines how we treat others...
