Night Blessing

May the night fold around you like
the soft meadow blooms, and
your heart resting lullabied
by moonlit dreams.
May unseen kindness stand guard
at the edges of your dreams,
and may you awaken with courage,
gentle strength, and the quiet knowing
that you are held, always.

Midwinter nights are often called bleak,
Yet they carry a magic of their own,
When moon and stars in silence speak,
And the world feels hushed, alone.

The black crow knew the gift of night,
Of quiet skies and silver glow,
He perched where shadows met the light,
And let his inner knowing show.

He thought of paths already flown,
And journeys waiting still ahead,
Of winds he faced, of seeds he’d sown,
Of lessons learned, of words unsaid.

He thanked the sky, the moon, the trees,
For shelter, memory, and flight,
For ancient truths carried on the breeze,
And wisdom born of endless night.

In solitude, he stood content,
No crowd required, no need to prove,
He knew his worth, his role, his bent
A watchful heart, a faithful groove.

For purpose lives in silent things,
In steady eyes and patient view,
And under moonlit winter wings,
The crow knew well what he must do.

A Solstice Blessing of Light and Guidance

As the sun turns toward its return,
may its gentle light touch your heart
and guide your steps.

May each day ahead unfold
with clarity, warmth,
and quiet strength.

May your path be illuminated by insight,
your choices guided by steady wisdom,
and your heart rest in the courage
and comfort that light always returns.

Even in the longest night,
remember that darkness
is only a prelude to dawn.

May the cycles of the earth remind you
that endings give way to beginnings,
and every shadow is softened
by the promise of returning light.

Let this solstice awaken your inner radiance,
a light that grows with patience, hope,
and gentle certainty,
guiding you forward
through the unfolding seasons of your life.

The Spark That Moves Us

Believe you can,
and you will,
for belief is a quiet spark
that turns hesitation into action.

It is the gentle hand
steadying you on a steep path,
the soft whisper of strength
beneath doubt’s heavy shadow.

When you trust your own potential,
the world shifts,
obstacles move,
possibilities widen.

What you believe
becomes your blueprint,
and every step you take
draws your dreams
closer to truth.

Compassion is a quiet force,
yet it can change everything.
It arrives without fanfare.
It moves gently,
in small acts that reach deep.

A single kindness
can ease the weight of sorrow,
bridge the distance between strangers,
and whisper to someone in the dark:
you are not alone.

It opens hearts once closed by pain,
softens anger into understanding,
and teaches us to see
the fragile beauty in others.

Through compassion,
we begin to see beyond difference,
beyond fear,
beyond the sharp edges of anger.

It reminds us:
every soul carries a story,
every heart longs to be understood.

And in offering kindness,
we are changed too,
made humbler,
braver,
more tender,
more human.

"It's not a mistake ...
Taking a chance.
Choosing a new path.
Choosing the thing that feels right but doesn't come with any guarantees.

If the other choice is spending the rest of your life wondering what would've happened - wishing you just would've tried - then it's not a mistake.

Sometimes you have to believe in what you can't see but what you can feel. You have to listen to the voice that says "this is right". You have to trust that you and you alone know what's best for you. And those directions don't come from the overthinking mind, but from your beating heart.

There's Something in you that's not tangible.
It can't be put in a box or easily explained.

But it feels.
It understands.
It holds the directions.
It sees what your eyes can't.
It knows the way.

You have everything you need, to navigate this path with strength and grace. And I promise you don't have to settle for anything half-hearted.

Not now.
Not ever.

So please know - its not a mistake.
Not if it feels right.
Not if this is where your heart is calling you toward.

🌟Ravenbridge Yoga Studio will be closed tonight for the preparation and celebration of my youngest Daughter's birthday 🎂 Classes will resume Thursday ay 7pm for Restorative Yoga. 🌟🙏

Breathing in Change:

As the days drift slowly into autumn, may we learn the quiet art of letting go.

This morning, I breathe in change with ease.
I breathe out what no longer serves my highest good.

Like the trees, I release with trust.
What falls away creates space for new life.

Today, may I find the courage to surrender to what is,
and the grace to welcome all, that is already on its way.

✨️This is Judy Daley, she is and was my Mother. Judy taught me how to live and love with my entire being. My Mom gave me the appreciation of literature, nature and music. My Mom gave me the gift of forgiveness, laughter and great food.

We celebrate her memory tonight. One year ago today, with chicken pot pie and peaches and cream pie🍑🥧 I see my Mom in my hands when I make these things. Thank you for teaching me your secrets ♥️

I miss her and I only wish I could only ... just .. talk to her....and, I guess I do.... in my own way. ♥️

All I know, is that I would endure a thousand heartbreaks to take away what happened to her. Judy was loved by so many. Cherished by the few of us left behind. 🌟♥️🥹

How do I live without you?
Oh my love I do not.

You are with me from the moment I open my eyes
until they close.
And even after that,
on the plane of dreams where mortals and souls meet, you are with me still.

“I’ve not learned to live without you,
perhaps I never will,
the truth of the matter is,
you are always with me still.”

You walked such a blazing pathway, when your feet were on this earth, that your imprint lingers on and I place my own feet in your steps, one by one.

How do I live without you?
It’s really very simple.
I do not.

“I have yet to live without you,
perhaps I never will,
perhaps the key to grief is,
you are always with me still.”

🌟I often know the right words to say. This gift left me speechless. Thank you, Mary-Ellen VanderSluis, it couldn't have come at a better time. 🌟You are what is right in this world🌟

Every minute someone leaves this world behind. Age has nothing to do with it.
We are all in "the line" without knowing it.
We never know how many people are before us.
We can not move to the back of the line.
We can not step out of the line.
We can not avoid the line.

So while we wait in line:

Make moments count.
Make priorities.
Make the time.
Make your gifts known.
Make a nobody feel like a somebody.
Make your voice heard.
Make the small things big.
Make someone smile.
Make the change.
Make love.
Make up.
Make peace.
Make sure to tell your people they are loved.
Make sure to have no regrets.
Make sure you are ready…
