The light within us. The light that surrounds us. That which we can see with our eyes, especially the light in the sky as it bounces off of clouds and the bodies of water I am so blessed to live by. But that light within that we see with our heart is so magical and powerful. I feel it so strongly, and it encourages me to keep going!

My mom, my mediation practice, and God – even when I didn’t realize the power of His grace. Through a bad marriage and yucky divorce, and then later a personal rock bottom, I was able to rely on all three in ways I never expected. So incredibly grateful.

Feelings of unworthiness and not being good enough. I have learned that I *am* worthy – of happiness, of love, of living a good life. But sometimes that old ego voice tries to creep in and tell me otherwise.

Be the light. Love all, serve all.

It keeps us in alignment with God and all of existence.

I appreciate waking up! My good health. My soulmate. My cat. My parents. Where I live. Abundance. It’s a really good life!

The basic truth of our being. The reason we exist. The force that keeps us going every day… LOVE <3

At the dog park with my boyfriend and his dog the other day! Play always awakens the inner joy, that inner spark that we all have but sometimes forget about. It’s freedom…it’s fun! I am looking forward to playing in the ocean again when it warms up 🙂

the sky. birds chirping. kids dancing for no reason (I’ve seen it happen at my job so many times – I’m in the grocery business). looking into my partner’s eyes and feeling the love. witnessing the power of prayer.

where my thoughts drift both when I am engaged in a task or activity as well as when I am doing ‘nothing’.

Not to let my ego take over my thoughts.
Not to overwork my body when it needs rest.

Connecting with others. Laughter. Love!

Gratitude and intentions – not only for the New Year, for the new day, for waking up again, for the opportunity to love.
Peace!

I feel like I’m living wholeheartedly now, although I know there is always room for improvement. I rely on God and all the lessons I have learned to help, especially lessons of compassion and remembering to pause. Grateful these days that I recognize the need for the pause!

Ah… yes, I am familiar with that poem. Thanks for reminding me of it!

Thank you, and God bless you, too!

Blessings to you, Aman. You are a light of the Universe!
