Today in my meditation, I suddenly pictured myself lying in a field looking up at a swarm of white butterflies dancing above me. The sun was bright and warm but there was a distinct feeling of autumn. I took some more deep breaths and saw a flash of silvery, black stones in the bottom of … Continue reading Recognizing the Messages Around Us
The Ebbs and Flows of Learning
I’ve been on a personal journey this year to master my meditation practice and become more aware of my intuition. I’m proud of how far I’ve come. This journey has also helped me recognize the hindering traits that I have when it comes to learning.

October 2: World Smile Day
We all know the scene from Forest Gump where he wipes his face on the t-shirt and leaves a smiley face, sparking the inspiration for the creation of that famous symbol. As fictionalized as that was, I bet it made you smile. Harvey Ball, a commercial artist from Worcester, Massachusetts created the smiley face in … Continue reading October 2: World Smile Day
Blessed
My favorite holiday movie. Bing said it best, “Count your blessings”. Rather than making a list, let’s try this exercise. Please share if you’re comfortable doing so. Repeat after me. “I am so blessed that I can ______. Because of this, I am able to _________ for others. And that multiplies my blessings.”

Finding a New Routine
As I return to work full-time, I'm finding things very strange. The people I've missed deserve a hug or high five, but I hesitate. Then, I feel guilty for hesitating. It's all very weird.

Soiled Hands/Take Me to the Movies
Lately, gratitude has been a big focus for me.

My father told me a story once of my mother’s cousin who visited them … Continue reading Soiled Hands/Take Me to the Movies
