    Resting in Awareness

    Let me just be like that little rock that sits so elegantly and confidently on the banks of the lake. Not fighting or resisting her experience, but letting it all happen just as it is. This is rest. This is true peace.

    Bent but not Broken

    We appreciate the light so much more when it comes after the dark. We appreciate the Spring after the Winter, the sun after the rain, the healing after the pain. Then we get to help walk others through the darkness because we know the way.

    Nurturing Our Little Lights

    My little girl has a bright light within her soul, growing brighter and brighter each day. Who am I to want to stifle this and keep her beaming, beautiful light all to myself? To keep her like a light flicker when it can be a flame?

    When Our No’s Become Yes’s

    I'm saying "yes" to a few quiet moments outside before this day begins. I'm saying "yes" to a slower day, a day of rest. I think this is the "yes" I really do need. Thank goodness for the "no's" because of all the needed "yes's" on the other side.

    Joy In the Being

    How often we have to fight for peace...but when we do, we find it. My peace was here in the splashing and giggles and wet floor. I wanted it to last forever.

    When I Love God More

    When I love God more, I love myself more. I love the image of God inside me. I even begin to love my inadequacies and limits and shortcomings because of the way they draw me back to him.
