Sometimes you are a light and aren't aware that you are the light. This is the best kind of light. Helping someone to feel better without doing anything grand on your part is a gift.

Someone just being in your presence and feeling better about themselves is a gift. It's an unforced feeling of peace between two people. You are sharing your light...or you are receiving someone's light. It's an effortless action that brings a quietness. 

You know you have the light when people want to be around you. Even strangers will strike up a conversation with you just to have an extra moment or two with you. Do you have the light? <3

There
is
no
past.

There

no
future.

There 
is
only
ever
this 
moment.

​Live like it is. <3

Technology has taken away the quietness of day to day life. By this I mean, the ability to just keep to one's self without worry of interruption.

We've become a society of having to be "on" all the time. To respond or not respond to the various means of communicating is a way of ranking peoples importance in your life. It's annoying, right?

Growing up we had a phone connected to a wall. It rang and you answered it not knowing who was on the other end. If you wanted people to know you weren't home, you had an answering machine. Simpler times.

With this need for instance responses we say and do things without thought. This causes a feeling of unrest. Maybe you don't need to respond so quickly. Maybe you could set some boundaries for access to you. Maybe you could say less and think more. <3

Beautiful things can happen when you choose to surrender control. Your purpose becomes clearer. Your ability to fulfill your purpose receives clarity.

God, Creator, Universe, Higher Power, Source from all that is, awaits your surrender. You will receive everything you need to fulfill your purpose when you let go of what you cannot control. You will be given that which you are.

The fear of trusting what you cannot see is real. So, instead, trust in what you can feel. You know what feels "right" and what feels "wrong". Trust yourself. You got this. <3

Peace: freedom from disturbance; tranquility; everything co-existing in freedom and harmony.

There is a misconception that God, Creator, Universe, Higher Power, Source of all that is, is the one responsible for the state of our society. Nothing could be further from the truth. 

Past and current beings are the reason that we do not have peace. It is our own misunderstanding about who we are that has caused such ugliness. 

The great thing is is that we can change things with a simple changing of the mind. Yes, our minds are that powerful. Replace hate with love and all will be well. Yes, it truly is that simple. 

Peace be with you. <3

The longest journey we are ever going to make in our lifetime is from our head to our heart. It's the journey to finding one's soul. It is a struggle because we listen to the voice inside our head instead of the feelings in our heart.

That voice is very distracting and isn't to be trusted. We act impulsively because of the voice and because of that we will usually find ourselves to be in the wrong. 

The mind roars while the heart whispers. It's between these two sounds that we have to rely on our soul for guidance. 

​My rule of thumb: If there is peace in your heart after you have made a decision, then it was the right decision. <3

In a world where we've grown to distrust...be kind anyway. 

The warmth that I feel when I give and receive kindness is bliss. The act of being kind has no price tag. Your smile is enough to let someone know that you see them. Your words are enough to let someone know that you see them. Your willingness to listen to someone's woes is enough to let them know that you see them.

There is no cost for genuine kindness and you have an endless source. Use it often. <3

Yesterday I found myself in a situation where a vulnerable person was being treated unfairly by people with authority. This was done around other vulnerable people who were too afraid to say anything.

Instead of becoming angry I became the voice for the voiceless. I ensured that the woman felt she was worthy of the care she was seeking. My quiet indigence caused the staff to rethink how they were interacting with this woman. 

At no time should anyone stand by and watch another being get treated with disregard. It is perfectly fine to bring peace to the moment. It is perfectly fine to let another being know that you see them. Just do it. <3 

As beings we are notorious for carrying around "stuff" that doesn't belong to us. This is very distracting behaviour. It also causes "blockages" in our life where the good stuff is supposed to flow from.

It takes commitment to sift through one's heart and mind. It takes a willingness to let go of everything that no longer serves you. It takes faith to believe that the right things will find their way to you at the right time.

Fear of the unknown halts us from letting go of the familiar. Fear is a punishment we give to ourselves for our own mistakes. We are imperfect beings. We will make mistakes, but the beauty of life is that there is always a way forward. Understanding that brings peace. <3

"It" exists because I want it to exist...good or bad. We all have the capability to "it" something into existence. The challenge for us is to recognize that if you want it then it is already yours. What does that mean?

It means that what you think about, pray about, wish about will happen, so you should be very careful how you do this.

Wanting something when you are not ready for it will bring hardship. Wanting something when you are ready for it will bring gratitude. 

If your want is forced, it will bring hardship. If your want flows to you with ease, it will bring peace.

Your thoughts and actions dictate your life. Only you have the capability to design your life. Evaluate where you are right now in life and ask yourself how YOU got yourself there...good or bad. <3
