I was playing on the zen board at work when I visited the gift shop :)


Sometimes we speak to change the world;
sometimes we speak to keep the world from changing us.

Love

Macy and Cassie.....just being Macy and Cassie :)

"Love is considered the most basic emotion that human awareness can feel; therefore, it is the closest to the source of life. The burst of well-being you feel when you fall in love is due to the fact that you unconsciously open the channels of awareness that allow more Prana [Life Force] to flow."

-Deepak Chopra

Turn your wounds into wisdom.

You will be wounded many times in your life.

You'll make mistakes.

Some people will call them failures

but I have learned that failure is really God's way of saying,

"Excuse me, you're moving in the wrong direction."

It's just an experience, just an experience.

-Maya Angelou

Living

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing. -- Agatha Christie

Fear

I have always loved this passage and I hope you do too. :)
Namaste,

When people show you who they are, believe them, the first time.
Not the 29th time!
That is particularly good when it comes to men situations
because when he doesn't call back the first time, when you are mistreated the first time, when you see someone who shows you a lack of integrity or dishonesty the first time, know that that will be followed by many, many, many other times that will at some point in life come back to haunt or hurt you.
When people show you who they are, believe them, the first time. Live your life from truth and you will survive everything, everything, I believe even death. You will survive everything if you can live your life from the point of view of truth. That took me a while to get, pretending to be something I wasn't, wanting to be somebody I couldn't, but understanding deep inside myself when I was willing to listen, that my own truth and only my own truth could set me free.

-Maya Angelou

Hey Fred, You wanna go bowling???

My mother was really telling me to go ahead and love life,
to engage in it, give it all you've got.
To love it with a passion.

-- Maya Angelou

A good affirmation for me today :)

My friend Jo sent me this picture yesterday and I thought is was pretty cool.
I hope you enjoy the prayer of "hope" below.
Namaste,

I pray we, all children of the earth,
no matter our path to enlightenment,
come to realize that we are one.
We may walk our own paths, but we are not alone,
for we walk at the same time, toward the same end/beginning.
From our individual perspectives, be we Pagan, Christian, Muslim, Jew,
Buddist, Taoist, or Hindu, we are the same.
I pray that we all feel the love of our Creator
and by example learn to see each other as brothers and sisters,
allowing the boundary lines of religion to fade away.
May the Creator bless your path.
May you always have enough, and may you give enough in return.
Blessed Be.

-Fae Aisling

All you need is love

"If you are here because you feel sorry for me,
you are wasting your time,
but if you are here because your life
and destiny are linked with mine, then we will make a difference..."
