I am so blessed to live where I do, in Northern California, down the road to speak, from San Francisco. The weather is perfect mostly and lots of sunshine. I live in an absolutely beautiful neighborhood. Lots and lots of trees, Redwood trees all around me. Spring here is so bountiful with flowers, more flowers, flowering trees and birds. The ocean is just over the ridge. Growing up in the Midwest where winters are long and hard I feel so blessed to be here. I do not take it for granted at all...

The ocean is just over the ridge. Growing up in the Midwest where winters are long and hard I feel so blessed to be here. I do not take it for granted at all. Yes, there are many woes living here, as everyone else wants to too, so it is congested and the cost of living is sky high. However, with everything there are always trade offs. I believe I live in a magical place with mighty and magnificent Redwood trees. I am blessed.
My cousin Lisa is the kindest person I know. She is always bright, bubbly and beautiful and ready to help. What I can learn from her is to not judge. Say nothing if you have nothing good to say. She is truly a gem in my life.
I guess it would be the day my father Louis passed. I was not with him, nor was anyone in my family, my mom had just left him a short time earlier. I am on the West Coast and he was in the Midwest. I did not know, nor did any of us know his death was so near, he was in a nursing home. When I think about him and his passing I feel sad that I was not there. He may not have known however, that I was there as he suffered from Alzheimers. I just wish I could have said good bye and held his hand. H...

When I view time as abundance rather than scarcity I calm down. I do not feel so frantic to “get everything done” without enjoying any of it. I am present and aware.
My beautiful daughter, my mom, husband and my brother, and my cat Daisy. Mother Earth, too……
I draw strength from my meditation practice. 🙏 From Mother Nature and all the big beautiful trees I am surrounded by, especially the Redwoods, so majestic and magical.
Compassion.
My brother and daughter who made my mom’s 95th birthday especially nice. They are both gems. I am grateful for them both in my life. Happy Friday All. Be kind to yourself today. ❤️
Remember we are all here together. Treat others with love, respect and kindness. Stop the hate. Stop the greed. Honor Mother Earth. Love is thee answer. I could go on and on……….❤️
Waking up to a new and beautiful day. Hearing the birds singing in the quiet morning. Gazing up at the almost full moon last night and Venus. Absolutely beautiful. Feeling so blessed and grateful that I can witness Mother Nature in her glory. Have a blessed day All. ❤️
For this shelter in place to be over. And for my sister to return to her family. ❤️
Staying silent. Try to understand that they too are struggling, as we all are. Offer silent prayers and blessings for them.
I must admit I am quite enjoying having all of this “down time”. I have the time that I have been wanting for, to work on myself, go inside and take stock. I am trying to grow and get in touch with my inner self during this “ time of corona”. I have been able to work on “my practice”. I have also been able to spring clean and de-clutter. Because of these efforts I feel lighter!
By being a beacon of light and hope. Stay Strong and Healthy Everyone. ❤️🙏❤️
…that there are an awful lot of good, kind, caring, thoughtful people out there. I so enjoy hearing about all of the “ good” people rather than all the nasty, dark stuff out there. In this “time of corona”, I have been so moved by all the love and acts of kindness. There truly is more good than bad. Let’s keep it going…….❤️
By being kind, especially to Mother Earth. Thanking her for all her beauty, her joy, her plenty, her delights. Stopping often today to appreciate her and saying thank you. Smelling as many flowers as I can and listening for the bees! Happy Earth Day All 🌎🌸🐝🦋
A loved ones new job, finally…………God is Good. 🙏
My favorite time of day is first thing in the morning. I am grateful for this early morning time because it is QUIET. I am able to pray and meditate in this quiet peacefulness. 🙏
This current situation we all find ourselves in. I guess it feels like being in limbo or something. Is it transforming me? I am not sure. I do feel that I am waking up to many many things and ideas that have been stirring in me for awhile. I have been doing a lot of self reflecting and spring cleaning. I feel Mother Earth too has been doing a lot of spring cleaning. Stay Strong All……❤️🙏❤️
Wishing you the happiest of birthdays Kevin. Cheers to You. All the Best. ❤️
