Know the power of your light...

On difficult days

I need to be reminded

of the brilliant fire of light

that gently

colors the deep darkness.

May we be that light

for one another. 

 

You lift me up....

and

all

Beings..

Lift your spirits

and

Warm your hearts!

What stops YOU from coming HOME?

I love this flower!

Her vibrant color..

Her family of buds..

Her extended family

of white tipped stems...

Unique

and

Beautiful...!

As we take in her beauty

may we also

open

our hearts

and

Come

Home

to

our Mother, Earth...!

 

Come home

to living in a way

that honors Her Life

and the Life

of all Beings..

 

Our

Coming Home

and

Connecting again

 with

Our Mother

the willingness

to live

differently

and

gift us

with improved health

and

fewer

violent

weather patterns.

Our Mother's

call

and

Come Home!!

The time we don't want to take...

I am fascinated by the

incredible number of petals

waiting to bud forth

within Rose.

 

Rose is smart enough

to know that

in their time

all of those inner layers

will come forth...

and

she is willing to

give each layer

the time they need.

 

We

like Rose..

have many layers

of growth

within us.

 

Are we as willing as Rose

to honor

the growth process

for each of those layers?

 

Patience

and

Waiting

are not beloved words

in our culture..

Fast and First

better describe the norm..

 

How much happier

and healthier

we could be

if 

 like Rose

We

 gave ourselves

the time we need

for all

that is coming to birth

within us!!

Reach for the stars...

beautifulfreepictures.com

 

Tree is challenging me

to reach for the stars...
To reach out of
my comfort zone...
and
this same challenge
to reach upward and beyond
confronts me
as I read the book
"Lean In"....
A successful woman's
journey
and the many times
she too
had to step
out of her comfort zone
and challenge
the many stereotypes
and barriers
women face
when they reach
 for
positions of
leadership and authority!

It is time

for me
and for
all women
to risk
reaching for the stars..

and fulfilling

 our dreams...

In unity and diversity

let us no longer hold back.
Our gifts and talents
are needed like never before...
Let us choose
to speak and to act
NOW
To reach for the stars
NOW

Let's BE the change

we are waiting for!!
NOW

 

Let the people of Iran know we care..

 

Our prayers are also with the people of Iran

who experienced a severe earthquake today.

Because of its depth

and

the fact that

 the epicenter was in

 a large unpopulated area

the number of deaths

was less than expected.

 

As thankful as we are for

the reduced number of deaths, 

this does not minimize

in any way

the pain and fear

currently being experienced.

Sending our love and prayers

can be a way of easing that pain

and helping the people of Iran

to know that they 

are not alone.
