When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light.
Give thanks for your food and the joy of living.
If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies within yourself.
~Tecumseh
Each and every day, we awake to new opportunities. By starting our day with gratitude, we chose to accept all that day has to offer with an open mind and open heart. Read more
Stress happens when we resist life’s events.
Let go.
Be at peace and appreciate life.
This is a spiritual practice.
Stress is a part of life. It’s a reaction to something that disrupts our mental or physical equilibrium, resulting in a ‘fight or flight’ reaction. In moderation, stress can keep us active, alert and excited but long-term, chronic stress can have a negative impact on our health.
You may not be able to eliminate stressors, but you can control how you react to them. Healthy stress management routines can help you manage stressors big and small. These might be meditation, exercise, deep breathing or any whatever method works best for you. Read more

And the list goes on. Read more
Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed.
Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.”
~Denis Waitley
Happiness isn’t a material thing or even a place. We can’t purchase it and we can’t hop in a car or on a plane and go there.
Happiness comes from within. It is something we alone can create for ourselves. No one else in life is responsible for our happiness, nor are we responsible for theirs. Read more
Conflict cannot survive without your participation. ~Wayne Dyer
Very wise words.
Have you ever considered that conflict exists because two or more people participate in it’s creation or continuation?
This is also true of inner conflict. Our choice-sometimes unconsciously or unwillingly-to participate solidifies conflict, giving it power. Read more
Our imaginations are such an incredible gift, allowing us to daydream and envision incredible wonder.
As children, we used our vivid imaginations to create fun and exciting playmates and spectacularly fantastical situations in which we would ‘live’ for hours on end. Imagination was fun, funny and adventurous.
As adults, our imaginations often become a work-thing of worry. Read more
A simple ‘thank you’ has magic…it warms the heart and creates a moment of connection and peace between two people.
Those two little words hold such exquisite power. Read more
May I have the courage today
To live the life that I would love,
To postpone my dream no longer
But do at last what I came here for
And waste my heart on fear no more.
~John O’Donohue’s Morning Offering
