On this morning's grateful walk,
I found gratitude
for the wind
giving necessary resistance
for the birds to fly.
I thanked the wind for reminding me that
sometimes I need resistance in my life
to fly to new heights
and also providing me
with a supportive push forward
when I am in the flow.
May today find you
flying to new heights
providing new yet deeper perspective
to the beauty of life.

On my grateful walk with Bella, I noticed two hearts looking a little bruised and worn. I thought about how my heart has felt the same way and then looked at Bella to discover she had been digging for treasure again. Bella reminded me that:
Dirt on the outside has no effect on the beauty on the inside
May today you remember that the
polluting expectations
grimy behaviors
and
cruddy words
of others
cannot change
the beauty of your soul.
Wash off the muddy energy
and allow
the beauty of you
to shine through again.
Wishing you a day connecting to your true beauty and may gratitude overflow your heart.

On our grateful walk at the Sugarloaf bridge,I offered gratitude for the courage to leave the well worn pathways of my mindto plunge intothe unexplored beauty of my heart.I’ve discovered my mind had become an unhealthy servant tofollowing belief pathways that I was taught and not that I had created.Built from fear,these pathways built outside of the heartwere taught to me to keep me “safe” from the darkness of this worldnot to teach me to free me from it.The irony of it is leaving the heartis what causes the darkness of the worldand in me following alongon fearful pathwaysI was led into my own shadows.In an effort to find a way out of my darkness,I followed artificial lightsthat offer ways...
On our grateful walk,as we encountered lizards, cats, crabs, birds, and beesthat are often on our path,I became overcome by the thoughtof how little I know about the world.I had no idea what the name ofthe tiny, white crab smaller than a dime was,why Bella was unafraid of the land crab bearing his claws,why the egret was fluffing his feathers and wingsor who had walked before me on the paththat Bella was free to runand joyfully explore.The wisdom of this humblenessled me back into a world of wonderwhere I experience life as it isbefore judging it.I realized I had unintentionally cut off the world of wonderas walls were created around my heartby the weight of the stories of the pastand...
On our grateful walk this morning,
I sat humbled with Bella
as my heart translated
the love and wisdom of Mother Nature.
She spoke of compassion with pink rays,
shined light through the shadows and
sent love through a heart-shaped cloud.
May today find
your mind quieting
to hear the heart’s translation
of life.
