If we love, we have and feel love. If we’re kind, we have and feel kindness. Contrary 
to what conditioning tells us, we only ever have our own experience—people, 
places, and circumstances truly are irrelevant. Any of it can be icing on the cake, 
but they’re never the cake! 
– Cheri Huber

 

Every problem has a gift for you in its hands.  

– Richard Bach

 

The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.
– Caroline Myss

 

“Any so-called material thing that you want is merely a symbol: you want it not for itself, but because it will content your spirit for the moment.”

— Mark Twain

 

The ultimate freedom for the nonexistent ego is to see that it is actually irrelevant.
– Adyashanti

 

 The correct attitude to our “possessions” is gratitude, not ownership.

— B.K.S. Iyengar

 

Things don’t change. You change your way of looking, that’s all.
– Carlos Castaneda

 

We shall see but a little way if we are required to understand what we see. How few things can one measure with the tape of understanding! How many greater things might one be seeing in the meanwhile?
– Henry David Thoreau

 

Success is not measured by what we accomplish or what we purchase. Our success is measured by the moments of joy we experience during our life.  We become rich by restricting and adjusting our desires, not by letting them loose and chasing after them.  

-Unknown

 

All things in moderation and Know thyself.  

-Apollo, The Greek Sun God & The God of Medicine

 

“He who, forgetting self, makes the object of his life service, helpfulness and kindness to others, finds his whole nature growing and expanding, himself becoming large-hearted, magnanimous, kind, sympathetic, joyous, and happy; his life becoming rich and beautiful.”

— Ralph Waldo Trine 

 

Forget safety.

Live where you fear to live.

Destroy your reputation.

Be notorious.

— Rumi 

 

Once you have established yourself as a center of love and kindness radiating throughout your being, which amounts to a cradling of yourself in loving kindness and acceptance, you can dwell here indefinitely, drinking at this fount, bathing in it, renewing yourself, nourishing yourself, enlivening yourself. This can be a profoundly healing practice for body and soul.
– Jon Kabat-Zinn

Gratitude Journal

“I‘m either the luckiest
gal on the planet… or I just have really low standards.” 🙂  That’s a great quote from my teacher, and, I have to say I’m right there with her!  The fact is, there is such an
abundance of gratitude for life overflowing from me each day, it feels as though I’ve
cracked some secret code to a treasure chest of beautiful miracles.  There
are many practices to which I attribute this freedom and joy…  seven years of Soto Zen Buddhist Awareness Practice & Transcendental Meditation, my amazing Teacher, my cheerleaders, and a simple, yet powerful ritual…

my nightly Gratitude Journal.

 





My Nightly Gratitude Journal

Taking
a moment each night to record just a few of the infinite miracles for
which I am grateful each day, is a beautiful frame of mind to fall asleep.  And it doesn’t
stop there, I wake up in the same beautiful space of gratitude.  It’s an
excellent practice for everyone – including those of us sweethearts who occasionally wake up on the “wrong side of the bed” 🙂

It only takes a minute or two – though you’ll
find yourself wanting to write much more than you expected… that’s
the nature of gratitude, it has a compounding, expansive, contagious
quality.  Keeping a gratitude journal is a really fun way to focus our brains on the infinite miracles in our lives, and away from conditioning’s incessant mantra of something wrong/not enough. 

The greatest gift we can give to the world is our own happiness.  It ripples out reaching farther than we can ever begin to imagine. 

Love,

XOXO
