Kindness

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.

- Philo of Alexandria


This was my favourite quote as a 17 year old.
I had forgotten it, but today it strikes a chord

Connections



My sisters and I...


From "Transitions: Prayers and Declarations for a Changing Life" by Julia Cameron

All that is necessary
to make this world a better place
to live is to love - to love as
Christ loved, as Buddha loved.
- Isadora Duncan

We do not interact at random. We are in each other's lives for spiritual reasons. We have "business" with one another. By consciously choosing to focus on why I have met someone, on how I can best serve and expand another I bring to each encounter a heighened awareness. As I sak to love and serve all, I bring forward my spiritual gifts and call forward the gifts of others. Grace fills every moment when we are truly present. Sometimes we transit each other's lives like benevolent planets.

A new day!

When I started counting my blessings,

my whole life turned around.

- Willie Nelson
