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…

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…

Sit beneath a tree, Listen to the wind whisper, Sharing it’s secrets. How wonderful it is to just sit beneath a tree and exist. To feel the sun and shade on your face, to listen to the wind, to feel the grass beneath you and the bark of the tree at your back. No worries,…

Life, joy and beauty, Sometimes where least expected, Always surround us. The busy lives we lead do not always leave much room for appreciating what lies all around us. It becomes doubly hard when, in addition to being busy, we are tired, stressed and always feeling like we are three steps behind where we think…

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…
