moving-on letting-go mean
You've got to make a conscious choice every day to shed the old - whatever "the old" means for you.
prayer attitude eye
Before we can change anything in our life, we have to recognize that this is the way it is meant to be right now. For me, acceptance has become what I call the long sigh of the soul. It's the closed eyes in prayer, perhaps even the quiet tears. It's "all right," as in "All right, You lead, I'll follow." And it's "all right" as in "Everything is going to turn out all right." This is simply part of the journey...
clever choices safe
Playing it safe is the riskiest choice we can ever make.
fit standing-out
We're not meant to fit in. We're meant to stand out.
gratitude sleep waiting
While we cry ourselves to sleep, gratitude waits patiently to console and reassure us; there is a landscape larger than the one we can see.
love the-end-of-the-day different
Lavish love on every living being you meet. See how different you feel at the end of the day.
dog cat long
dogs love us unconditionally and cats are big on redemption. Our sins and shortcomings don't bother them as long as we delight in their presence.
hope spring rain
Expect to have hope rekindled. The dry seasons in life do not last. The spring rains will come again.
adventure dragons remember
Always remember, it's simply not an adventure worth telling if there aren't any dragons.
joy path moments
Learning to live in the present moment is part of the path of joy.
thank-you thankful gratitude
Every time we remember to say "thank you", we experience nothing less than heaven on earth.
inspirational brave-face soul
Become abundant with your compliments to others. We're all so fragile, especially when we put on a brave face. A sincere compliment can penetrate beneath even the most sophisticated masks to soothe troubled souls.
philosophy simple doubt
My philosophy is very simple: when in doubt, take a bath.
truth devil half
Half-truths are the devil's IOUs.
