My antidote to being frenetic indoors is to sit in stillness outdoors. Barely well enough dressed for conditions and sitting with as much direct contact with the ground as possible. With a cup of coffee. I sit and stay in that minor discomfort for as long as possible. The act solves unsolvable problems and it … Continue reading Antidote

Growing A Garden- Cultivating the Inner Experience
I meditated the other day and asked whatever Universal Awareness is out there to bring me insight. Nothing is particularly wrong with life in this present moment, but there is just a feeling of being unsettled. Like knowing that a sink-full of dishes needs to be done or that a pile of laundry has accumulated … Continue reading Growing A Garden- Cultivating the Inner Experience
Priceless.
This view. It was priceless. It was expensive. It cost me a lot to create this picture of this present moment. It cost me the time to walk. It cost me every decision I made in order to curate a lifestyle that celebrates movement- from how I rest up, to how I fuel activities, and … Continue reading Priceless.

Thoughts About Unconditional Love.
Love. Without condition. Without exception. Without timeframe. Without prerequisite. Without judgement. Without fear. Without limit. Without exhaustion. Without end. Without distraction. Without interruption. Who benefits when I don't love myself unconditionally? Who benefits when I do love myself unconditionally? What does unconditional love look like to me? What does unconditional love allow me to express? … Continue reading Thoughts About Unconditional Love.
Standing Tall.
What do you stand for? Consider it. Write it out. Live that truth. I stand for unconditional love. I stand for witnessing every facet of humanity. I stand for joy. I stand for beauty. I stand for wonder. I stand for delight. I stand for simplicity. I stand for light. I stand for alignment. I … Continue reading Standing Tall.

Dawn.
It is a new day and I am grateful. For every challenging day I have, I know that a good rest and a new dawn follow. It may not be a better day, but it is different and I know I am also different. Growth happens during rest and I feel that I have more … Continue reading Dawn.
