When nature changes abruptly there is turmoil; hurricanes, tornadoes, tidal waves and blizzards all bring chaos with them. Heat waves and cold snaps and other extremes cause disruptions and often death ensues. When picking up the pieces afterwards there are questions as to why. Why indeed? Nature has its ways of bringing about change, and some may seem harsh, but when change is really needed it may not be noted until much later. Look inward each day and ask: Where do I need change? What can I change today? Make change a daily habit and notice how much nicer incremental change is compared to disaster.

Find peace in the small everyday things that make up life. Find beauty in the tiniest beam of sunlight, in the smell of a rose, in the clouds in the sky, in the taste of something special. Let the little things guide you to appreciate how life’s little miracles offer enough on any given day. Open your eyes, your senses, your mind to the little offerings that you may be missing and let your heart rest in peace, if only for a moment at a time.

Sending you love,

Life is a constant struggle to stay in balance, to align body, mind and spirit, and yet it does not have to be perceived as a struggle. How you view life is just as important as how difficult it really is. Perception is everything. With a positive attitude that sees life as an adventure, with natural ups and downs, that is leading you ever onward to wisdom and understanding, is a far better attitude than one that offers no insight or possibility of change. With an open heart, an open mind, and an open attitude, embrace life as the grand adventure that it really is. Make every day a day of adventure and learning, and embrace it with gratitude, kindness and love.

Sending you love,

Without malice face what comes to disturb your day and let a new perspective guide you. Nothing is too great to face and nothing will get the better of you, especially if you decide to look upon life as a great mystery with its own purpose and its own direction. How life unfolds may never be understood while it is unfolding but hindsight offers the gift of truth, for in looking back one is granted the long view that surely explains everything and leaves one in awe. Be in awe.

Sending you love,

When it seems that nothing is happening, when your cause seems to have lost its steam, when no new path appears, wait. In waiting patiently there is the opportunity to slow down the inner self as well as the chaotic world around you. Sit still and listen to birdsong, to the wind whispering past you, to the crunch beneath your feet, the Earth itself speaking to you. Notice that you are not alone but that all of nature supports you in your quest for change. When it is time to act, to take the next step, you will know.
