Gratefulness
To live with an open heart is to recognize that my life is no more important or less important than any other living being. We are all here for a physical experience. To find the love that we are in this egoic world is to raise the consciousness of us as a civilization. As I gently open my heart through the healing of my wounds, I seek to find nothing but acceptance and appreciation and joy alongside the love that comes from heart centered living.
I see beauty particularly when I am in nature. I am constantly awed and feel incredibly connected and inspired by what I see around me. When I live in the moment, it is easy to see the beauty that lies around me. It inspires and brings me joy to tap into the beauty that surrounds me.
I have no family traditions that I cherish. The only cultural thing that I love is drumming. Am not one to conform to useless traditions simply because they have been done forever…not good enough for me, who lives in the moment, not the past. I do not subscribe to “tradition” culturally either. I was raised without knowledge of my ancestry, so it is not part of my living experience from day to day. I am perfectly content this way. I feel free from the constraints of society ...

I have begun to do this a week or so back. It is mind boggling what goes into the most simpliest thing s that we use each day. It takes so many unseen people to contribute towards the making of some material object that we use. It is more proof to me that no one can live in isolation or just for themselves in this world. We are interdependent on each other.
I practice mindfulness in order to stay present. Lately I have been focusing outwardly to the events that are politically happening to my relations in BC. Just yesterday, I realized that I have become stressed and angry and have lost my balance within for peace and serenity. Today I am reminded to look outside of myself but to also focus inward and find the peace that is within and bring the darkness that I see outside of myself to the light within for transformation. This is the way to stay ...

This is the way to stay awake for me.
I am waiting for the weather outside to get a little warmer so I can get out and restock my fridge and to buy kitty litter and bird seed for the pretties outside who have to brave the extreme cold each day.
I have had to deal with dis-ease in my daily life for 5 years now. Being told you have only 1-3 years left to live, wakes you up to the reality of life. I had been living in a deeply unconscious way. It has been my greatest teacher, this dis-ease, And I am grateful to it. Dispite the challenges it brings to my life, I have been able to tap into living in the moment and mindfulness. I learned that nothing was guaranteed by having to go through this experience. On my best days, living as noth...
I have had to deal with dis-ease in my daily life for 5 years now. Being told you have only 1-3 years left to live, wakes you up to the reality of life. I had been living in a deeply unconscious way. It has been my greatest teacher, this dis-ease, And I am grateful to it. Dispite the challenges it brings to my life, I have been able to tap into living in the moment and mindfulness. I learned that nothing was guaranteed by having to go through this experience. On my best days, living as nothing is promised is natural to me…and other days I will fall back into the fear that comes with living. It usually happens when I lose sight of this simple wisdom….to live as if nothing is promised. Thank you for this reminder of the preciousness of each moment and to not take it for granted. I needed this reminder.
Love wants to come through me into the world. The way to honor that is to begin to love myself more and it will naturally expand in ripples to the rest of creation.
I can stretch my heart to love bigger through acceptance. To see myself in all creation and to accept that I am just as important as all creation levels the playing field. I must first truly love all that I am in order to love all that is around me.
I feel most humbled when under the moon. I can see the stars and I feel my connection to all that is. Under the moon, I can contemplate my part in creation. To exist in this Divine Universe is the most amazing experience ever and I am blessed to know this.
