My dog winks at me sometimes...
and I always wink back
in case it's some kind of code.

As long as you hold onto the belief that anyone on earth can do anything to you, you will be outside the truth of who you are. People cannot change who you are and what you were born to be. The truth is that we all forget that we are divine, abundant, endlessly loving beings, and we act out of our human fears, beliefs and perceptions. When you forgive, you remind yourself of the truth of who you are – you access the unlimited power that lives in the soul of you.- Coco Fossland


Accept that whatever you are not willing to risk, is keeping you hinged in fear, attachment, and struggle. - Unknown

Oriah Mountain Dreamer: Lately. . . . frequently. . . . I just stop & reallize how happy I am feeling for no particular reason, just because. . . I am alive. It takes my breath away, & I am so filled with gratitude. The sweetness of tasting food, walking in the sun, being with friends, or being alone & fully with myself in solitude. We are surrounded by truth & beauty that feeds the soul.

There are those who shine so brightly, their flame is extinguished all too soon.

...and all in a moment's passing, gone was the women for whom I would have died, gone was the woman whom lived for me...

Three little words, "you need me", were the words that tumbled from my lips, my person, and my heart. When she finally spoke, she offered only an "I do, huh?". I nodded, telling her if only she would dance with me, I would tell her all the reasons why. She did, I did...and it was done.

Humourous Life Quotes...
 

Such a delicate thing- caring for ourselves & offering assistance & support to others where we are able. The impulse to assist is genuine & heart-felt. Sometimes we only know in hindsight that we have dangerously depleted our inner or outer resources, neglected to take care of our own lives/health so we can continue to give from a place of joy & generosity. This discernment- knowing what we can offer in a sustainable way- rests on deep self-knowledge & acceptance of our resources we have in this moment, (which are always changing) & motives (which are sometimes tangled in old beliefs about needing to "earn" our right to be.) And still, it is our in nature to reach out & offer what we can- we are inter-dependent beings. May we draw a wide circle of compassion & make sure to put ourselves on the inside along with all other sentient beings. ~Oriah Mountain Dreamer

There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart.
