Beyond the Ordinary…

Sometimes you are called upon to do extraordinary things. When this happens …act upon this calling… for it will mean that you serve in a life altering way for another human being.  Going beyond the ordinary isn’t about power; it is about service.  It is about following the inner calling that says, “help this person”.  It’s about using your [...]

Climbing Trees by Dark…

I don’t typically arrive home at night planning on unexpected adventure.  By day’s end I am usually in a reflective mode, quietly examining events of the day…looking inward … quieting my mind and pondering peaceful rest. Alas, I recently found myself climbing a 15 yr old 70+ ft high tree to rescue two cats who had conveniently left [...]

August 2011: S T U D Y

For most of us, August is a reprieve.  It’s a time to relax, escape, holiday…and enjoy the remaining time of summer.  It is the month before the world begins to beat faster with many other new beginnings.   This August, consider the meaning of STUDY in your life.  What are you willing to learn, understand, study?  What new experiences [...]

TRUTH

In a perfect world there is the integrity of kind words and actions.  There is hope and the mindful blessings that occur when one is easily kind and compassionate.  And there is truth. Much can be done to live kindly and with loving action.  But without truth you become easily lost.  Without truth your lies, [...]

June 2011: YOUR INNER CHILD

June may indeed be the most appropriate month to re-connect with your inner child – the part of you that has always been there.  At times you may allow your inner child to have fun and play, but perhaps most of the time, your adult nature dominates – your sense of responsibility, work, or duties takes priority. [...]

Your Authentic SELF

Perhaps one of the most undervalued privileges of the human experience is self-knowledge.  Beyond describing what it is that we do for a living, our preference of music genre, or our favorite ice-cream flavor, how well do we really know our self?  Much of our adolescence is spent contemplating who we would like to be (or [...]

FOCUS

Just about now, you might be desperately wishing Spring would arrive…or hoping that there is more ‘good’ winter to enjoy the outdoor activities that you have embraced this season. Which of these is your focus ? While much of the excitement and anticipation of January’s resolve and intentions may be fading, this is precisely the right [...]

February 2011: ‘New LOVE’

Entering into our second month of this new year, February’s inspiration is an emphasis on love, romance, and intimate relationships.   But consider the notion of NEW love.        Some ideas worth contemplating…      Open your heart to a new infusion of divine love - with a (new or existing) partner; a different activity, hobby, or personal interest; or a new behavior or [...]

Examine your Perspective…

Remember how your perspective affects how you feel, make decisions … and live life. Case in point.  From your perspective, is this picture of daytime or nighttime?  Remember that you see the world through your eyes.  Your reflection of the world and even those you come into contact with is muted by your assumption that others see and think in similar ways to you.  We all [...]

January 2011: ‘Surrender and Release’

It’s a novel way of embracing the ‘new’ in your life – letting go of what no longer serves you…  Being willing to surrender and release is a powerful way to consider how you will celebrate this new year and (if you choose it) how you will live the entire month of January.  Surrender and release [...]

if every day…

What does the magic of Christmas feel like?  Think about it for a moment and re-experience those feelings within you.  Christmas inspires your heart in ways you don’t always experience.  We associate Christmas with ideals of love, kindness, giving, joy, hope, and special moments that come from our ideas and ideals of what it means to share, love, and [...]

Celebrate…

During December, as the people of the world celebrate their culture’s holidays, I am reminded of the beauty that we strive to create:  candles lit on menorahs, wreaths to decorate our front doors, lights that create amazing brightness, ornaments and objects shimmering, sparkling, bright colors that are seen everywhere, and delicious foods that we indulge in and enjoy.  What are you celebrating?  [...]

You Already Are…

I think about the fact that we are both perfect and at the same time, evolving…a work in progress.  This notion is prevalent in Yoga practice: in the idea of Sankalpa which encourages us to be, enjoying our perfection and our beautiful nature as unique beings – while at the same time, considering what our true [...]

December….

December is a beautiful month for many reasons.  One of which is to embrace the notion of BALANCE.  You see, while the focus for some may be on shopping, overindulging, lack of self-care….the real beauty of December is in the balance.   This year, why not embrace the magic and beauty of this month…and of [...]

Communicate your TRUTH

Reflections of November Nature always fascinates me.  The incredible LIFE that is always present all around us: animals, plants, the sky, water  – all of it moving, growing, evolving even if we don’t bother to pay attention.  Nature is perfect in it’s ability to communicate with us.  All we need to do is stop and [...]
