We no longer keep on the same path. The point marked on our souls, like the points on a map of landmarks cities or visited countries, a memorable point in a journey. The best vacations or journeys are the places we want to go back to. I think our souls want to get back to those places as well. To return to the expectation to the hope of a different outcome. But ultimately to the healing.
Standing In Fear
Fear is an powerful thing. I will not say it isn’t and to act like it is less than would be doing it a disservice. Mostly to myself. Though fear can be a powerful force does not mean one can’t move while in it. It does not mean I can’t move in the presence of it. Yosemite is an inspiring piece of nature. Its power is spell bounding. It pulls me back even though I am gone only a few days. When I was there, READ MORE
You Have To Start Somewhere
Start by doing what is necessary; then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible. – Francis of Assisi The world is full of people of all shapes, colors, and beliefs but the one thing we have in common is that any task, big or small, has to start somewhere. There are the small tasks that feel like too much. When your plate is so full you feel is as though you can’t possibly take on one more thing. Then there are the huge tasks READ MORE
Are You Building A Life Or A Career?
“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist.” – Oscar Wilde We know the saying, “Life is short” but do we heed its meaning and take advantage of the time we have on earth? I, for one, did not for a good few years of my life. I didn’t know I wasn’t until recently. I was doing what I thought every person was suppose to do. Work, work harder, make money, make more, get the promotion, and build “the life“. READ MORE
Don’t Choose The Path of Least Resistance
Obstacles do not block the path, they are the path – Zen Proverb We know the phrase “Path of Least Resistance” but do you know if you are suppose to choose it or avoid it? The initial response is to avoid. We are trained to go the opposite direction when we meet resistance. When a door won’t open, a jar lid won’t budge or a screw won’t loosen we know to go the other direction. The same is true of our interactions with people. If READ MORE
If You Aren’t Seeing Results – The Answer Lies Within Your Intentions
A Tree By Its Fruits You can always identify a tree by its fruit. In the same way, you can always identify your intentions by your experiences. – The Heart of the Soul by Gary Zukav and Linda Francis – Have you ever rowed a boat? If you have you know that how you place the paddle in the water and the force you use determines the direction your boat will go. The same goes for throwing a baseball, bowling ball, driving a car and READ MORE
The People You Never Meet
“There are two ways of spreading light, to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it” – Edith Wharton Today I woke thinking of someone I have never met. Now it may seem odd that my first thought of the day is of a perfect stranger but I am sure you can relate if you give it enough thought. There are plenty of people we encounter in life that we give too much thought or emotion considering they are just strangers. Think about it. READ MORE
Making A Difference
Giving of my time to others started at a young age for me. There were the little moments when I was young when I use to stop and talk to strangers (yeah, my Mom wasn’t crazy about that), taking extra time to just sit and pet cats that generally did not want anyone to touch them or visiting the local senior living home while out roaming the neighborhoods (back then you could just wander in by yourself). When I turned 12 I joined an international READ MORE
Can You Have It All?
I consider myself a self-starter, independent and hard working. I found a way to put myself through college full-time while working part-time, started working after graduation, became a CPA, obtained a Masters Degree and never stopped moving. Fast-forward a decade or two and I have the big job, add a husband and two kids and you may say “I Have It All”. Totally normal life for today’s working Mom/Wife and what every woman should be working towards. Or, so we are taught. I have received READ MORE
Independence Day
Happy Independence Day As the Country collectively celebrates its Independence with BBQ’s and fireworks I reflect upon the various moments of independence we celebrate during our lives. Our first steps, kindergarten, staying home alone for the first time, going to the movies with our friends, getting a drivers license, a job, and finally moving out on our own. Our life growing up is filled with goals of independence. Over the last few years as I have begun to wake up, as some may call READ MORE
