"The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers."

Feel the abundance
Go ahead, and let yourself be wonderful. It's much, much easier than you think.
Nothing has to get you down unless you choose to get you down. Stop looking for reasons to place judgments on events and realize the abundance that always is.Go ahead, and let your beautiful purpose flow out through your words and actions. Let go of the twisted reasoning that says you must hold yourself back.
It never makes sense to be any less than you are. Richness arises out of how much you put into each moment, not from what you hide away.
Instead of wasting your energy on blocking your true self, use that energy to create and fulfill and express in ways that are wonderful. Instead of constructing and maintaining doubt, release and nourish new joy.
It's so much easier to be who you are than to try and pretend who you're not. Go ahead, feel the abundance, and let yourself live its endless possibilities.

Think and feel
You can think and you can feel. You can reason and you can abandon all reason.
You can understand logic and you can appreciate beauty. You can find great value in a mathematical formula and also in the chorus of crickets on a summer night.
Do you understand the limitless possibilities that arise from such a potent combination? Can you feel the power that lives within your spirit?
When your thoughts and your feelings support and encourage and amplify each other, truly great things happen. When your creativity is enabled by discipline, and when your thoughts are energized by passion, nothing is out of reach.
If your thoughts stray too far from your purpose, you can feel your way back. If your feelings keep you stuck in one place, you can think your way out.
You are one, and yet you can think as well as feel. Continue to more fully experience the wholeness of that miraculous contradiction, and you'll know that it is no contradiction at all.

Dark Night of the Soul
This is an amazing video from the Humanity Healing Foundation that I want to share. If you are a light worker and are on your journey, this video will show you there is a light at the end of the tunnel. During those moments where it seems "ignorance is bliss" this short video will remind you that "ignorance is NOT bliss" and that we must continue to grow and heal as one. I for one am Grateful For Today as I step out into the Unknown. Thanks, and Much Love to All

Do what matters
Do what matters, not just what is convenient. Do what is fulfilling, not just what is easy.
Just being busy will not lead you to anything of value. Instead, challenge yourself to be effective in the service of a meaningful purpose.
Any particular stretch of your time can be infinitely valuable or it can be hopelessly worthless. Which will it be right now, on this very day?
See that every moment has the potential for soaring greatness. Let your words and actions, your thoughts and deeds express that potential in your own special way.
There are many skills that must be studied and developed, and you can choose the ones you wish to acquire. The skill of living, however, need only be allowed, for it is already within you.
Live with richness, with great fulfillment and joy and substance. Do what matters, what really matters, and delight in being the unique, beautiful person you are.

Feel Encouraged
The world will not always offer you encouragement. Often you must supply your own.
Many times you'll have good reason to feel sorry for yourself. Yet you can just as easily choose to feel encouraged about yourself.
Reach deep inside and find the goodness that is always there, the goodness you may have forgotten about. Feel the positive purpose that nothing can take away from you.
You are worthy and relevant, effective and capable of the very best. Remind yourself often.
Keep in mind that every disappointment is temporary. Every frustration can be overcome.
There is every reason to persist, to endure and to move forward with the most positive of expectations. Because deep within, you know you can.
