No matter where you go, how far you travel, how many state lines you cross/provinces you visit… you will always be alone with your thoughts.
* a reminder for you – – Waist or Waste..
By misunderstanding the key to freedom, it becomes an anchor.
Value your intuition. When you suddenly have an “A-Ha!” moment, or when a thought pops into your mind.. Act on it right away. (PL2014.19)

If I stay very still…. the moment will pass
If you are content with the status quo, your progress will stop. Always seek for ways to improve yourself and continue to move forward one step at a time.
The moment will pass, yes.. but you are still in the same place, facing the same dilemma. The only constant in life is change. Accept the challenge/opportunity and move on. Letting go is not always easy, but it is progress.

The bigger the task, the more your convictions are tested. When ever you are undertaking a huge task, you may encounter resistance, Don’t give up, and let your strong resolve carry you to completion. (PL2014.17)

Be creative in your efforts. If something is not going well, take a step back and look at how you are tackling the problem. There is sure to be something you can improve on. (P:2014.16)

As summer brings longer days, the night invites dreams with poignant moments and poetic prose. memories, longing / desire whisper through dreams of yesteryear… that only you can hear.
A moment it time, can seem a lifetime. Being mindful means means you can decide how to make it a positive experience.. only you can decide how to live it.
Put all your effort into the “now”. You can only do your absolute best right this moment; not the past, not in the future, but now. (PL2018.27)

Chapman Mills, a lovely interlude .. whether on foot or kayak,
Don’t strain, don’t rush, and don’t be greedy. When you are doing something, you may rush things to get good results quickly. Instead, relax and enjoy the process. (PL2018.7)

Use the power of your smile. A smile has the power to help people feel at ease, cheer them up, and at times, give them courage. Smile and spread your warmhearted energy to the people around you. (PL2018.3)

Joyous Sunday everyone!
Yesterday I was reminded of how even tho’ I know how to sit, be still, meditate .. I seldom actually sit to really be still.. I may sit , yet I am active my mind keeps chattering, I have the telly on, or I’m on my computer.
When I eat .. I am mechanical about what I am doing, I prepare a meal (something to eat) because I know that I’m supposed to be eating at least 3x a day. Then, I will eat as I prepare, maybe sit to eat a bowl or plate of something.. and then I move along with whatever other activity I’m engaged in. This is being busy /active .. but … I ask myself how mindful am I being.
I’m not alone, I bet everyone of you can tell me something similar is going on in your life right now. When I ask you to be mindful, to BE in the moment .. are you able to do so… or are you like me.. Do you need to make time to focus, to be still… to allow your body/mind to simple STOP. Let Go of the mind chatter, and BE.
We all have different ways of feeling and thinking. Let’s always accept others’ differences and respect one another. Remember that “different strokes for different folks” is the key to having harmonious relationships with the people around us. (PL2014.13)

Enjoy be happy, make time for YOU today.. even if it is only 10 .. 15 minutes. I use this music to help people unwind, I have them close their eyes and just listen to the music, it is a short piece, …joyful, and catchy. Let your body respond to the notes, and the fun of the tune. No words, just music that will weave itself through your conscious state, and activate the “energize” button in YOU. (Meditation in movement/dance)

I do have a short video of the movements that work beautifully with the music, but have yet to figure out how to show it to you. Nudge me if you want more info.
Music is created/produced and played by Dave Renz.
Begin each day with a renewed sense of appreciation. Always remember that you are here today thanks to God/Universe and thanks to the many people around you. Let’s make each day meaningful by starting out with a feeling of gratitude.(PL 2014.6)
