How much…?

Begin your day with gratitude. Step outside and state out loud everything for which you are grateful. Take a moment to breathe deeply knowing that this day is full of potential. Stop, listen, be. Realize that your words, thoughts and beliefs dictate how you will choose to experience the day. Find ways to express love.

How much love are you willing to receive? How much grace? How much peace? True happiness is the natural expression of your being when unobstructed by the mechanisms of the mind. Choose now and forever to bring the best version of yourself to the present moment.

\”What happens when we slow down and pay attention? Everything! Innumerable delights are right at hand.

Thank every one of the ten thousand things: gratitude turns our world right-side-up.\”

~Ezra Bayda~

In moments of challenge, it is especially important to remember that grace is still at hand. Underneath the chaos is a vibrant, eternal stillness that is your birthright. Though the mind will often attempt to distract you, peace awaits.
