The near enemy of love is attachment. Attachment masquerades as love. It says, “I will love this person (because I need something from them).” Or, “I’ll love you if you’ll love me back. I’ll love you, but only if you will be the way I want.” This isn’t the fullness of love. Instead there is attachment—there is clinging and fear. True love allows, honors, and appreciates; attachment grasps, demands, needs, and aims to possess. ~Brené Brown

Self-awareness is a foundational element in cultivating self-love and achieving harmony with one's environment. When you are self-aware, you have a deeper understanding of your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. This understanding allows you to identify your needs, desires, and boundaries, which is essential for nurturing self-love.

By being attuned to your inner world, you can make conscious choices that align with your values and aspirations, leading to a more authentic and fulfilling life. Moreover, self-awareness helps you recognize how you interact with your environment, enabling you to make adjustments that foster better relationships and a more harmonious existence.

This wooden Elephant once belonged to my mother.

In many cultures, an elephant symbolizes good luck, power, wisdom and fertility. And because feng shui is intentional about the placement of items in of the home, decorating goes beyond surface-level style.

Elephant figurines placed inside the front door, near the home’s entrance, have two meanings.

An elephant statue in the foyer facing away from the door brings luck into the home.
An elephant facing toward protects the house. It guards your home against all sorts of negative energy.

What is Boundary?
B aware
Of what is
Unacceptable and
Normalize Saying no.
Do what is best for you
And know that it's not your
Responsibility to sacrifice
Yourself for others

Active expressions of joviality allow you to become one with your happiness. Keeping our positive emotions locked within our souls prevents us from enjoying them to their full extent and may make us more susceptible to the influence of the negativity we encounter. When you freely articulate your joy, it is transformed from a raw feeling into a part of your being. Your emotions become intertwined with who you are, and as a result, your happiness has a positive impact on the wholly unrelated aspects of your life. You will look at adversity and disappointment in a pragmatically optimistic way, and little will interfere with your cheerful demeanor. When you express your happiness today rather than hold it in, your feelings of contentment will last well into the night.

The patience you exhibit toward the people you care about can demonstrate the intensity of your feelings for them. We may face many situations over the course of our lives in which we cannot understand why our loved ones feel or behave a certain way. When you react tolerantly rather than judgmentally or emotionally, you can devote the whole of your attention to offering those that are most important to you the support and aid they require. They'll recognize the sacrifice you have made and acknowledge that you have remained at their side through trying times. Your serene fortitude will allow you to remain calm and loving as you and your loved ones face challenges together. The patience you demonstrate today will help you express your nonjudgmental love for the people you care about.

Nurturing your intuition can help you create your own luck. Your hunches are the product of your inner wisdom and often represent the course of action that will lead you toward success and nourish your soul. Opportunity is all around you, every day. What feels like luck is often your willingness to act on your intuition when an opportunity crosses your path. When you hone and trust your intuition, which is an insight that runs deeper than your conscious mind, you'll be able to recognize positive prospects for what they are. Looking inward for answers can prevent you from overlooking the luck that is available to you. When you nurture and pay attention to your intuitive mind today, you will see the best way to bring luck into your life.

When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter. ~Tom Robbins

The other side of the joyfulness of Mother's Day.

Women without their children, Mother's Day may be a time of reflection, perhaps tinged with sadness or longing. They might find themselves grappling with feelings of emptiness, wondering what could have been or what went wrong. The absence of their child's presence, whether due to distance, estrangement, or loss, can cast a shadow over what is meant to be a day of celebration.

Yet, even in the absence of their child, these mothers are still deserving of recognition and appreciation. They have experienced the joys and challenges of motherhood, and their love and sacrifices should be honored, regardless of their current circumstances.

On Mother's Day, those without the support and love of their child may seek solace in the memories they hold dear, finding comfort in the moments shared and the love that once bound them together. They may also find strength in the support of friends, family, or other mothers who understand their pain.

Ultimately, Mother's Day serves as a reminder that motherhood is a multifaceted experience, filled with both joy and sorrow. It's a day to acknowledge and celebrate the resilience and love of all mothers, even those who navigate the journey without the presence of their child by their side.

Returning to one's country of origin after immigrating can be a profound and complex experience, laden with a myriad of emotions and reflections. For many immigrants, this journey back sparks introspection about the path they've taken and the roads left untraveled. Among these contemplations often lies the question: What if my family had never left?

As the plane descends, the immigrant's heart quickens with anticipation, a blend of excitement and trepidation coursing through their veins. They step onto the familiar soil, greeted by the sights, sounds, and scents of their homeland. The streets, once distant memories, now feel like old friends, welcoming them back with open arms. Yet, beneath the surface, there's a gnawing curiosity about the life that could have been.

Walking through bustling marketplaces and quiet alleyways, the immigrant imagines an alternate reality where their family never boarded that plane bound for distant shores. What would their lives have looked like if they had stayed? Would they have forged the same opportunities and experiences that shaped their identity as immigrants?

They visit their childhood home, now weathered by time and adorned with memories of a past life. Standing in the familiar surroundings, they're transported back to a time when dreams were born and futures were uncertain. The echoes of laughter and whispered conversations fill the air, reminding them of the bonds that were formed and the sacrifices that were made.

As they reconnect with family and friends, the immigrant is struck by the diverging paths their lives have taken. Some have flourished in their homeland, building successful careers and nurturing deep roots within their communities. Others have faced hardships and adversity, struggling to make ends meet in a land rife with challenges.

In moments of solitude, the immigrant grapples with the weight of their decision to leave. They wonder if they've betrayed their heritage by seeking a better life elsewhere, or if they've honored it by preserving their culture and traditions in a new land. They wrestle with feelings of guilt and gratitude, torn between two worlds that have shaped their identity in profound ways.

Yet, amidst the uncertainty and introspection, there's a sense of resilience and hope that permeates their journey. For in returning to their country of origin, the immigrant discovers a newfound appreciation for the complexities of their own story. They realize that home is not merely a place on a map, but a tapestry of memories, experiences, and connections that transcend borders and boundaries.

And as they bid farewell to their homeland once more, the immigrant carries with them the wisdom gained from their journey—a testament to the enduring spirit of resilience and adaptation that defines the immigrant experience.
