Say what needs to be said without hesitation

Do you find yourself compromising, holding back from expressing what is truly in your heart? Don’t be afraid and just say what needs to be said.

Wisdom comes naturally when you are humble

You will stop growing if you have a conceited or boatful mind. Always remember to be humble.

Experience of the Joy of Change

It is truly amazing when you look back at yourself this year compared to last year, or today compared to yesterday, and realize how much you have improved and changed.

Needle felted with sheep’s wool that I sourced from shepherds in the area, back in the days when felting was not a common craft / art form in this area…. I found one shepherd who shared my passion, she is the one who had dyed the roving…. that I used for skin tones. I still have my needles and I keep a stash of roving “in case” … I get “the urge”… felting is a relaxing form of expression .. and it helps me keep in touch with “nature”. I would drive the back roads looking for sheep.. Drive up to strangers wanting to know about their charges.. how often they sheared, what did they do with the wool….

I walked the pastures, enjoyed the sheep dogs that herded the sheep, met wonderful grounded souls.. who loved the animals and the earth as much as I did.. I pray and thank the Universe regularly for the life I have been blessed with.

Its not about the quantity of friends one has, it is the quality of the friendships…. in this I am also blessed,

PL Precept #10 Love yourself and others.

Thank you dear reader for sharing time with me today. Near or Far I appreciate and have love in my heart for each and everyone of you

time

Time moves on – nothing really stands still

Think about it, even when you stop physically moving, and you sit down… your internal organs, your heart, the blood racing through your veins… It is constantly humming along…. your breathing will slow down, your whole essence of Being will slow and calm..

Let’s not even bring up your gray cells, that intangible “thing” science has called our brain … it doesn’t consider the word time..

We simply are... we seem to accept that our computers, cell phones, iPads.. need recharging, need extra storage, Pause reflect.. our bodies/minds need attention and care… When was the last time you did a personal update? clear your cache? get rid of obsolete unused and no longer required items/thoughts?

Thursday

Thru the mist of early morning… with the distant sound of the world waking around me… I stood and waited. Would today be the day? I felt a deep sigh escape unbidden from somewhere within me… I had to focus on the tension between my shoulders…. manually letting my shoulders drop into a more relaxed pose.

I had come to meditate and pray… I thought a friend would join me… but I saw no one at the gate… the prayer bell would ring soon… slowly I turned back into the quiet and serene ambience of the inner room. Sandalwood incense floated lazily into the still morning air.

As I bent my head and brought my hands together in silent prayer, I felt the gentle embrace of a warm breeze brush casually past my silent form… This moment was mine… In closing my eyes and saying yes to the silent beating of my heart… I acknowledged the greatest gift in life, is to live in faith… to believe that what will be will be.

Every day is a new beginning a gift from the Universe… the gentle flutter of my heart is steady and pure… in Letting Go.. I am renewed.
