Each day we show up in our own unique, beautiful way.
Never judge how far you’re suppose to travel, just wake up, sit in quiet, connect to your power within, and begin walking.

Remember some days you may walk far, other times you go forward then back a few steps, and often baby steps are enough. 👣

“The Peace of Wild Things

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.”
Wendell Berry - The Selected Poems of Wendell Berry.

Morning Blessing

May this morning greet you softly,
as light spills across your window.
May your first breath be full and kind.
May hope today rise the way the sun rises:
calmly and faithfully.
May you notice one small beauty
and let it anchor you.
May this world meet you
with the same tenderness
you so often offer others.
Today is not asking you to be perfect.
It is inviting you to be present.
And that is already a gift.
May your night be gentle.
May your morning be luminous.
