Every person who has manifested a big dream had a plan of action. Exact thinking, correct thinking, self-confidence, deserving it, belief in the self, belief in the future, enough resources or support — though advantageous goods — were not what manifested the dream. It was a series of steps that they took. Acting towards yourContinue reading “Take the Next Step”

From the Inside Out and From the Outside In
What you clean up on the inside is for you to enjoy. What you clean up on the outside, everyone can enjoy. Both parts are important — the inner and the outer work. But to conclude that unhappiness is a personal problem is myopic and disconnected, and it clearly shows that there is no faithContinue reading “From the Inside Out and From the Outside In”
Pick and Maintain
Keeping and polishing your best stuff is an art quite like keeping memories that give you purpose, make you smile and nurture you… and vice versa, as within, so without, as without, so within: the process of decluttering helps you to lighten up; the process of dwelling on experiences that uplift you and give you meaningContinue reading “Pick and Maintain”
Sacred Sites That Are Water
Lake Superior and Lake Huron are places of power and inspiration to me. Of course, they are also places of great beauty and freshness. Just for today, I look forward to the flow of scents, scenes and sounds without and to the flow of images, words and sounds within.

Summer Is Heaven
Summer is heaven. I feel in my element. Summer is my time. Everything but the mosquitoes contributes to my well-being. I could easily live in a hot climate.

Nurture It Forward: EarthSends
One thing I can always rely on, for the last 17 years or so, when I started sending healing to our planet every Friday: Friday turns out good to great. Saturday is better. Yeah, I have been doing it that long. I plan to practise it for life. Friday brings heaven to earth every week.Continue reading “Nurture It Forward: EarthSends”
Love Is – You Can Not Create It – Cherish It
You can strengthen a bond through shared experiences. But you do not create love. Love rises effortlessly for no other reasons than that a person inspires it by being – himself or herself. Some people leave us cold. Some give us a hard time because we don’t fit their ideas of who we should be.Continue reading “Love Is – You Can Not Create It – Cherish It”
Inkling
The first impression of a place, a setting or a person is quite far from what it turns out to be. That is why you can only speak with authority about a topic that has saturated your mind. First impressions are helpful though when they touch your curiosity, inspire, or provide you with a goodContinue reading “Inkling”
The Redolence of Heat
I am grateful to the first thing I notice on this day: To the hot pink sky before sunrise that only deep summer produces. To the succulent green foliage in the land. – The colours of the heart chakra. To the perception of slow motion that the heat induces, that time is expanded and abundant.Continue reading “The Redolence of Heat”
From Mindset to Mindset
When I was a teenager, the things that move or impress me today were already part of my experience, but I didn’t react to them in the same way. I registered them as “curious”, “odd”, somewhat uncommon and as having more life force, even though I wouldn’t have used the term and I didn’t haveContinue reading “From Mindset to Mindset”
Freedom: Luscious in Art and When Embodied
Great art — be it music, poetry, literature, sculpture, painting or film — changes the way we move in the world. Its effects are first felt in the body, and then in the mind — as liberation, as expansion into a wider, untapped reality, connection and empathy, as the freedom to think in ways forContinue reading “Freedom: Luscious in Art and When Embodied”
“Nose”
Parents, partners, friends, colleagues: always listen to your gut. Or to your instinctual-emotional knowing. It will steer you right. Especially if you are a parent. You may not rationalize the vibes that you are picking up, but they are communicating something to you that you need to pay attention to. Stay connected. NJ 29 July 2015Continue reading ““Nose””
The Hundred Steps Diet
The food that tastes best grows in your own garden. And just like that, your inner being grows by how you water it and how you feed your foundation. In return, it nurtures you, it gives you the energy to continue. Your inner being grows its power and its beauty from your time and trustContinue reading “The Hundred Steps Diet”
Meteor Shower in July
The Delta Aquarids are peaking tonight and tomorrow night. Look up. They are easy to spot after midnight.
We Are Custodians
“If more land owners truly thought of themselves as custodians, sustainable change would be far easier to achieve.” Elizabeth Waddington, EWSP Consultancy I enjoy her blog. Maybe you will, too. Take a look.
Slaves to Master Alcohol
It is fascinating how people who live unmanageable lives have that bravado to lecture you in detail about the details of your life. They know what you are doing wrong. You are living in the wrong neighbourhood. You are shopping at the wrong grocers and retailers. You are overspending. You don’t know the value ofContinue reading “Slaves to Master Alcohol”
Go to the Root
When you stabilize your life, mood, finances, you will talk about other topics than about the long list of issues that make you angry, the apologies about why you can’t enjoy your calm and historically remarkable liberties and safety, and you will be less interested in portraying yourself as unworthy or a castaway. Perspective comesContinue reading “Go to the Root”
