This fence was torn apart by the destructive forces of Hurricane Irma to reveal the stunning majesty that lies within. I’ve discovered that sometimes pain comes into our life to tear open the walls we built to protect ourselves so we can share our beauty with the world again. While certainly painful, I have great gratitude for those painful times. Other times we do the work to learn to love ourselves more... tearing down the wall of lies that contains us to allow our hearts to be able to finally expand and share the unique song your heart sings... not just a few lines. May you let your heart become so big that the walls that were built out of...
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

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.

If my mind wanders to the past, I look back with gratitude for the wisdom acquired. If my mind reaches for the future, I look forward in faith. When I stay in the moment, I thank Bella for being my joyful companion, the music of the waves for calming my heart, the birds for reminding me to let my soul soar, and the rays of light for reminding me that the...
On our gratitude walk today,I felt gratitude for the sweet delights of lifelike the bananas, mangos and flowers which have all been lovingly nurtured by many energies to provide nourishmentto bodies, hearts and souls.I thanked the unknown person who thoughtfully planted the seedthat grew into the massive mango tree in my backyard.I thanked the sun, rain and soilfor working together to grow the banana tree that always brings me a smile.I thanked the flowers that have been released for dancing with the windto bring beauty onto our path.And then something happened…Tears came to my eyes as my heart rememberedhow we are always being nurtured by many different energiesand unknown forces. My mind quietedand then humbly bowed in gratitudeas she let...
