In this very present moment I sit. I breathe deep. I illuminate my awareness with my breath. I turn my attention to everything around me. My focus energizes it all. I turn that focus inward. My body has messages for me and I listen with unconditional love. Just listen. Unconditional love is loving with no … Continue reading Gather.

Alignment.
I've been trying to sit with what it means to me to live in alignment with my highest self. At this moment it feels like living in a way that allows me to exist with grounded confidence and encourages me to show up in this world knowing where I have strength and abundance to contribute. … Continue reading Alignment.
Awareness.
What we focus our awareness on is what we react and respond to. Anything. The cold of the morning breeze. The bugs in the air. The rain. Our mind is always reacting to something. Have you noticed? Have you also noticed that sometimes things will remind you of a past occurrence? Rain can remind you … Continue reading Awareness.
Healing With Nature.
I previously discussed my return to running in the post Remember. While it has been a slow process, I am grateful for the opportunity to discuss it here. There is a lot to explore and a lot that has been making more sense to me as I retrace my processes and steps. I love the … Continue reading Healing With Nature.
Remember.
I went for a walk this morning. After I got to about the farthest point from the beginning, it started to pour rain. I put the hood on my coat up for a few moments, and then put it down again. A phrase from my time running came up, "we're not made of sugar." I … Continue reading Remember.

There is a good amount of information out there so I don't feel the need to add my perspective/voice … Continue reading Music.
Clarity.
Just because you can't see your destination isn't an indicator it doesn't exist. Trust your intuition. You might have wandered a little ways off course. Maybe you have gotten turned around or led astray and started moving in the wrong direction. Your perspective might need an adjustment. Get off the path. Get higher... Elevation always … Continue reading Clarity.
Instant.
Have you ever stopped to consider that this moment right now, this instant, is all that really exists? Our awareness is here. This second. Last second is gone. Next second hasn't come. This very instant. Right here. This is it. Are you aware? When you step back and observe this instant, what do you notice? … Continue reading Instant.
