Today is a gift I honor by fully living it.
As we work to create light for others, we naturally light our own way.
In my prayers I never said I needed a home. I said I wanted a sanctuary.
A small compassionate act enlarges the scope of community.
A holiday, the day I first named you, “friend.”
Be avid. Create apart from perfection. Risk failure. Cover your words with sweat. Run a little Touch excruciatingly. Laugh until you cry. Dance with your eyes closed. Care. Understand you die a little in every moment. Be Enlivened.
That I was born to this circle – I am blessed. That I choose to stand in this circle – I am proud.
What is our family? We touch our full hearts and see ourselves reflected whole in each other’s eyes.
In all my ways of seeing – may I use new glasses, a telescope and a microscope. And may I always allow myself to see a circumstance through the tender hearts of my friends.
This day I see that pretty much all my correspondences are love letters.
This day boldness is manifested in a simple grace: gratitude.
I wrap the potential for bitterness, resentment, martyrdom in the blanket of forgiveness and just set it down. Then it just melts in the warmth. And goes away.
Nurturing is not complex. It’s simply being tuned in to the thing or person before you and offering small gestures toward what it needs at that time.
Gift the love of your life with undistracted, untelevisioned, unhurried attentiveness.
The jump is so frightening between where I am and where I want to be. Because of all I may become, I will close my eyes and leap.
Balance happens when I invite it to happen with my intentional actions and my guided perspective.
Your informed, “no,” to a particular service allows another to offer their gifted and unreserved, “yes.”
Expressing gratitude seems like a cosmic invitation for all kinds of thankfulness and appreciation to pour in.
Extend your hand with the strongest reach.
My husband melted my heart the day he asked me, “Can I participate in your wonder?” In whose wonder do you get to participate today?
Live boldly. Laugh Loudly. Love Truly. Play as often as you can Work as smart as you are able. Share your heart as deeply as you can reach.
