The Buddha’s answer
reminds us where
true power truly lives.
Not in circumstances, possessions, or control over others... but in the mind
you carry every day.

Your thoughts
shape your perception of life.
They influence
your emotions, your choices,
and your direction.

When the mind
is filled with fear,
worry, or negativity,
even small challenges feel overwhelming.
But when
it is guided by awareness, positivity, and intention,
life begins to respond differently.

Positive thoughts
are not about denying reality.
They are about choosing
how you meet it.

When you learn
to work with your mind
instead of against it,
change begins naturally
— from the inside out. 🌿

New Moon in Capricorn ♑️ Blessings! First new moon of the year! — A Sacred Reset 🌑

Tonight, we welcome the New Moon — a moment of fresh beginnings, quiet intention, and inner realignment.

January’s New Moon is an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and plant seeds of what you truly want to grow in your life this year. In the dark space before the moon begins to wax, there’s power in rest, reflection, and clarity.

✨ What this New Moon offers:
• A chance to release what no longer serves you
• Space to reconnect with your heart’s deepest intentions
• Support for grounding into your body, your values, and your vision
• A reset for your nervous system — from doing to being

🌱 New Moon Ritual Ideas for Tonight:
🕯 Light a candle and breathe deeply — exhale what you’re ready to release
📓 Write 3 intentions for this new cycle (keep them simple + soulful)
🌿 Sit quietly with your breath and listen
🌙 Visualize your intentions growing as the moon waxes

This New Moon asks us to begin again — with compassion, presence, and aligned intention. You don’t have to know how all the pieces will unfold — just begin with what feels true.

✨ What intention are you planting tonight? Share below if you feel called. 🤍

“If you can’t fly, then run; if you can’t run, then walk; if you can’t walk, then crawl, but by all means keep moving forward.” - Dr. Martin Luther King

Dr. King was born on this day in 1929, and his life is a reminder that the fight for equality is never free.

He didn’t simply “inspire” people. He disrupted systems. He challenged power. He forced this country 🇺🇸 to confront the violence hiding behind its own laws.

And for that, he paid a price.

He was surveilled. Threatened. Smeared. Called dangerous. Called divisive. Called “too radical.” And still, he stood.

Still, he spoke. Still, he marched. Still, he demanded more from this country than it was willing to give, because he understood something many still refuse to admit.

Justice doesn’t come from comfort. It comes from people who refuse to back down. 💪🏾

Today I’m reflecting on the parts of his story we don’t always tell. The relentless backlash. The political attacks. The constant pressure meant to break his spirit.

Because this rings more true than ever right now. Justice doesn’t arrive on its own. People deliver it. People fight for it. People sacrifice for it.

And the work is still ours. ✊🏾⚖️

“When we hold on to
our opinions with aggression, no matter how valid our cause, we are simply adding more aggression to the planet, and violence and pain increase.
Cultivating nonaggression is cultivating peace.”
- Pema Chodron “When Things Fall Apart”

People around the world are reacting to the incident in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Pema’s teaching applies directly to events such as this. So, when violence shocks us—as it has recently—anger is a natural human response. Grief, fear, and outrage arise because something deeply wrong has occurred. Pema Chödrön is not asking us to suppress these reactions or to turn away from injustice. She is asking us to notice what we add.

Her teaching points to a crucial distinction: anger felt and understood is not the same as aggression acted out. When outrage hardens into contempt, dehumanization, or a hunger to punish, we begin reproducing the very forces we are trying to stop. Aggression, even when morally justified, spreads aggression.

To “cultivate nonaggression” does not mean silence or passivity. It means staying grounded enough to see clearly, speak truthfully, and act wisely—without letting hatred take residence in our hearts. From that place, accountability, protection of the vulnerable, and real change become possible.

Inspiring words from the monks that are walking for peace:☮️
“Some people may doubt that our walk can bring peace to the world—and we understand that doubt completely. But everything that has ever mattered began with something impossibly small. A single seed. A first mindful breath. A quiet decision to take one step, then another.

Our walking itself cannot create peace. But when someone encounters us—whether by the roadside, online, or through a friend—when our message touches something deep within them, when it awakens the peace that has always lived quietly in their own heart—something sacred begins to unfold.

That person carries something forward they didn’t have before, or perhaps something they had forgotten was there. They become more mindful in their daily life—more present with each breath, more aware of each moment. They speak a little more gently to their child. They listen more patiently to their partner. They extend kindness to a stranger who needed it desperately.

And that stranger, touched by unexpected compassion, carries it forward to someone else. And it continues—ripple by ripple, heart by heart, moment by moment—spreading outward in ways none of us will ever fully witness, creating more peace in the world than we could possibly measure.

This is our contribution—not to force peace upon the world, but to help nurture it, one awakened heart at a time. Not the Walk for Peace alone can do this, but all of us together—everyone who has been walking with us in spirit, everyone who feels something stir within them when they encounter this journey, everyone who decides that cultivating peace within themselves matters.

One step becomes two. Two become a thousand. A thousand become countless. And slowly, gently, persistently—not through grand gestures but through ten thousand small acts of love—we can help make the world more peaceful.

This is our hope. This is our offering. This is why we walk.
May you and all beings be well, happy, and at peace.”
