Blessings in your life, Visible but often missed. Learning to notice. How many times have we heard the phase, “count your blessings”? Or we should write a “gratitude journal”, to remind ourselves of all the things we have in our lives that we are to be grateful for. Does it occasionally seem that we are…

Frustrations fade as eyes grow soft, vision expands, Tranquility dawns. How wonderful is that moment when you first feel tranquility stealing over you. That fleeting moment when the jaw relaxes, the shoulders drop and the eyes soften. It seems that those moments are so rare and precious in our busy lives that often times we…

A single blossom Surrounded yet set apart Self-companionship. Our society does not seem to value the ability to be alone. We are constantly inundated with the idea that we must always be with someone, either romantically, socially or even in the workplace. That being alone is a negative state that should be avoided whenever possible.…

Small leaves reaching out New sprout from unlikely place Growth makes a difference. Sometimes we grow in unexpected ways. Do we really know what are our strengths and weaknesses? Should we be expected to know everything about ourselves or are we allowed to be surprised when we discover that we’ve grown and changed…

Unable to see, The trap’s escape eludes me. Dreams of flight remain. Having a dream, but being unable to see the way to achieving it is a true trap of the self. Frequently we have a dream but end up so frustrated because we cannot see any way to get out of our present situation and work towards…

It wells from inside, unbidden and unconstrained, Joy shouts loud and clear. Sometimes it might seem that joy is either difficult to find or even completely absent from our lives. Our society would have us believe that joy and happiness are only present when we have new things, expensive things, are madly and freshly in…

Open to the world, Reach inwards and then upwards, Letting self shine forth. How many times have we thought that something was absolutely impossible for us to achieve? Or we have talked ourselves out of something before even giving it a try. I have been guilty of this for quite some time, have told…

Unsure and timid, I want nothing but to hide. The world pulls me out. How is it that we can both be so afraid of attention, yet as humans crave it so much? That desire to have attention focused on us, yet the fear that we will, we must be found lacking. Often times it…

Icy winter’s beast, Facing unstoppable change, Embraces new life. A last remnant of Winter, facing the warming of the Spring’s sun and change that cannot be stopped. Some change we look forward to, like the coming of spring after a long winter or the birth of much wanted child. And some change confuses and scares us, like the…
