In the Sanctuary of Nature ABIDES Dear Beauty Seekers, During this these time of sheltering in place, and practicing social distance, we are reminded more so than every before,  that mother nature can be our haven  and  sanctuary of peace and renewal.  During my morning walk I was surrounded by beauty and stopped periodically just to take in the vastness of mother nature.   I marvel at how graceful and content the birds and ducks were in their natural habitat. I choose to stop and capture some of this beauty by photograph... take a look yourself. The more I seized the moment to take in the peaceful beauty of mother nature,  the more a calming divine presence  permeated by being.   I am grateful to take this time to commune in mother nature through taking  a brisk heart healthy walk.  May you be compelled in your own way to stop and pay attention to the beautiful offerings of mother nature the ...

Make Room For Peace Dear Peacemakers, Whether we are aware of it or not,  room is made in our lives for  what we value the most.   Things or possessions , relationships , projects of interest, and excessive work demands, and some time distractions  does not accumulate in our lives on its own.   We make conscious and oftentimes unconscious decisions about what we  invest our time and energy into.   Also what we may unknowingly  be  inviting in our lives.  Therefore, just like we offer our attention and make room for the relationships, jobs,  commitments in our life that take up  space in our everyday experience.  We must intentionally incorporate daily or weekly practices that focus on  affirming or creating peace.    I  invite you today to consider the many ways you are or can make an intentional  effort to be still and present in the...

Dear Masterful Travelers, Take out your suitcase and check your bags,  it's time to examine what you have been packing. At some point in our lives we are invited to the table of wisdom and approach the crossroad  of  "this no longer is going to work" or  "I can not gone on like this" or  "I got to let go of some of my commitments"  because the current schedule, routine we have is no longer   manageable or sustainable. Knowing when to lighten the load,  before life throw you some  "it is time to lighten the load lessons"  is essential to our  overall health and wellbeing. I invite you to consider to unpack your emotional and or psychosocial suitcase and consider attitudes,  ways of being,  habits that is currently getting  in the way of your best self.   What narratives of your past have you been carrying around that is weighing down your potential?

A Tribute to Godmothers' Dear Appreciative Ones , Are you a Godmother or  Have a Godmother? Whether it was the neighbor, teacher, aunt that took a special loving interest and concern in your well being or your friend's mother who always had kind and uplifting words to impart or perhaps someone chosen by your parents or yourself. These special women are worth celebrating and honoring.   We can find Godmothers standing in the gap as guardians of our welfare and well being.   Godmothers may not always gain the recognition for the significant role they play as faithful attentive listeners when you need someone to care and leaning on.  Godmothers also offer,  an enduring unconditional positive regard for our greatest potential and perfectly  imperfect selves.  They sometimes see our potential to thrive and excel  even when we can't. Godmothers' are too there to remind us of who we are in the midst of our greatest perceived...

I t's A ll A bout E ssential L iving Dear Conscientious Ones, In critical times like these we only have space in our lives for essential living.   Have you ever caught yourself in the middle of a task, activity, or process and began to reflect on why you were doing that particularly thing at that moment?  Stopping and taking inventory of what we are investing our time in and why is a useful daily practice.  It's paramount that we live  in the most intentional meaningful way,  where our well being is at the fore-front of what we do,  say and how we are being in the world.   Time is so precious and investing our energy in the activities, task, and things that affirms and sustains us is a must. Compliments of the COVID pandemic we have had to rethink what is essential and non-essential in our  everyday life and daily routine. Focus on the essential is a beneficial practice as it eliminates unnecessary time spent on t...
