The Journey
New experiences offer an opportunity to explore undiscovered aspects of ourselves. Fresh adventures have a unique beauty all their own. When you view your journey as a joy and a celebration, you’ll find that true security comes from a willingness to be fully present within the never-ending expansiveness of life.
Today is a new world filled with infinite possibility. Participation is key. Be willing to explore, experience and feel. Don’t close yourself off out of fear, for you never know what beauty may be waiting to unfold in your life. Listen and allow your authentic self to shine. Planning creates a rigid sense of expectation and limitation that precludes our ability to trust and express our inner wisdom.
Plans are meant to inspire movement. They open the heart to new ideas and start a flow of change in our lives; however, often that is their sole purpose. Once we set sail, the winds determine the direction.
Don’t wait for some achievement to give meaning to your life. Instead, see yourself as an adventurer into the infinite. The destination is joy.
The Power of Presence
“There is only one perpetrator of evil on the planet: human unconsciousness. That realization is true forgiveness. With forgiveness, your victim identity dissolves, and your true power emerges–the power of Presence. Instead of blaming the darkness, you bring in the light.”

When your own wounds are truly healed, you’ll be less reactive to the unconscious behavior of others.
Through the process of awakening, we come to recognize our wounds and understand what triggers our own reactivity. From this space of awareness, challenging people and situations are transformed into empowerment. As you walk consciously through the world, you’ll discover greater peace and compassion. When you witness others caught in their self-made distress, instead of joining them there, you’ll bring a sense of calmness and purpose to the present moment.
Rather than seeing yourself as a student, healer, teacher or someone who is enlightened, see yourself as Presence – the nameless, formless, infinite source of being. You are far more than the roles you play in this life. You ARE life, an ever-expending expression of the love, light and laughter of the universe.
The Awakening Soul
“Each soul must awaken from the aloneness of a private dream world to greet the morning sun, view the sweet earth, apprehend the great silence, and demonstrate an appreciative thanks to everyday of life by living in a rapt state of attentive awareness.”
~

Creating Space for Something New
In the ever-shifting flow of life there is a constant movement of growth and change. We are forever in the process of endings and beginnings, expanding into new areas of understanding and recognizing the validity of what serves us best on the journey. Don’t fear the amazing potential that wishes to express itself through you. Underneath the layers of thought and belief lies an infinite source of life that lovingly waits to be explored.
It’s important to periodically go within and take stock of your energetic balance as well as recognizing and giving yourself credit for how far you’ve come on the journey of awakening. All the answers that you require are within you; however, because it can be challenging to see ourselves clearly, we must learn how to utilize the reflection provided by the world. Should you find yourself judging, staying in the story, blaming or replaying old events in the mind, recognize that you are distracting yourself from going within.
Observation creates awareness. Awareness creates movement… and movement creates the space for something new to be experienced.
Be Changed by Love
Relationships provide the opportunity to discover who you are in the presence of another. As a multifaceted, radiant being of light, there is no end to this process of exploration. And, like the ocean, love is a mystery waiting to be revealed to those who are ready to receive her gifts.
When circumstances change, be willing to allow transformation in yourself. Clinging to old ways of being is resistance. As we evolve, our relationship to one another takes on new dimensions. It is there, meeting in the space between, that we can truly learn Oneness.
Honor those who grace your life by being the best version of yourself. With ruthless honesty and gentleness, delve inward to new places of discovery and wisdom will reveal itself to you. Ultimately, awakening prompts us to be a loving presence in the world. Make this your practice beginning where you are, with what you have.
The Path of Transformation
Transformation is possible only through acceptance of the necessity of opposites. When we accept life as it is without judgment we learn how to transform challenges into light, blockages into opportunity and limitation into freedom. The power of acceptance lies in our ability to embrace what is.
In rejection, life becomes a struggle. Only by contrast do we discover the balance required to create the beauty of which we are all a part. Do not resist life. Learn how to see opposites as complementary, yet equal aspects of the whole. Be a loving witness to the Yin and Yang of experience.
This is how one can transform suffering into empowerment. Practice the art of acceptance by saying “Yes” to life, even the hard parts. Ask yourself if you are enjoying what you are creating. Are you blissful? If not, consider taking some risks and discover a new path. There is no need to repeat the things you have already mastered. You are here to learn, to expand and play in the infinite realm of possibility.
The Healing Power of Laughter
Dreaming Change into Being
In each and every moment we are dreaming the world into being. You can consciously shift your experiences with grace and courage and birth a new reality of joy from the matrix of infinite possibility.
Throughout the process of exploration, realize that you have the power to create changes in your life situation through conscious engagement. In order to spot opportunities, focus on cultivating greater awareness and mindfulness within the present moment. Gratitude is a wonderful place to begin.
You can engage in empowering acts that make a significant difference in the world. Perhaps you choose to forgive more quickly, say “I’m sorry” when you’ve missed the mark within a relationship, or set aside thoughts of judgment. It takes courage to become solely responsible for your own path while honoring it as sacred. Ultimately, you’ll discover that you don’t need approval from anyone else because you have stepped into the dream and are now consciously engaged in the art of creation.
