THE HEAD BOWS to the HEART


......the head bows to the heart
(my morning tea bag tag on the string says)

..great reminder to stay in the present moment
.....go to center


thus begins
my day

never too late to be happy
here & now
and any moment fear,
stress, worry, or doubt enter my head
.....go to center

so....my head bows to my heart

SITTING ON THE EDGE


this morning's tea bag tag says....
wisdom
character and
consciousness
conquer all

~(unknown)~




Only Awareness Remains........
Life moves, undulates, breathes in and out,
contracting and expanding.
This is its nature, the nature of what is.
Whatever is, is on the move.
Nothing remains the same for very long.
~Adyashanti~




Live everyday
wide open
inspired
(Adyashanti)








the universe loves ...
gratitude under
ALL
circumstances

no matter what is
happening around you.

30 days of saturating
yourself with gratitude
WILL
change your life

beyond recognition

what you
radiate & live

the universe will
DELIVER

matching the intensity
of your gratitude

bring it on....
thank you !
thank you !
thank you !

FLOW ~ 2

today's epiphany..................

i'm repeating my un-happinesses based on
someone elses idea of being happy.

...REACTING to how they think i should be

...BELIEVING them when they tell me who i am.

now i feel
the reflection is me

this is the day to change the dream..........

Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.
~ Henry David Thoreau ~

Dreams are the touchstones of our character.

~ Henry David Thoreau ~


The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
~Eleanor Roosevelt ~



A happy life is just a string of happy moments. But most people don't allow the happy moment, because they're so busy trying to get a happy life.
~ Abraham ~


Look deep,

deep into nature,

and then you will

understand

everything better

~albert einstein~



Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.

Live the life you have imagined.

BELIEVE....we contain the potential for everything within us........................














CREATIVE CONSCIOUSNESS "Creative visualization is not just a technique; ultimately it is a state of conscious-ness. It is a consciousness in which we deeply realize that we are the continuous creators of our universe and we take responsibility for that in every moment.


There is no seperation from us and God;
we are divine expressions of the creative principle on this level of existence.
There can be no lack or scarcity; there is nothing we have to try to achieve or attract; we contain the potential for everything within us.
Manifestation through creative visualization is the process of realizing and making visible on the physical plane of our divine potential."

IMAGINE

“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together..
there is something you must always remember.

You are braver than you believe,
stronger than you seem,
and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is,
even if we're apart...
I'll always be with you.”
~ Winnie the Pooh ~






“Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known."
~ Winnie the Pooh ~

The Color of TRUST

My heart is filled with awe & wonder when I witness what a brush filled with paint will do.

The Mandala continues to mystify me as I journey into the creation of these wonderful geometric patterns. The mystery continues to unfold in front of my eyes of how color moves the Spirit within to listen to my Soul's Inner voice that beckens me to TRUST the process
....surrender to this medium
....surrender to Life
....surrender to "Being Here Now"
