I am grateful to my mom’s health consciousness, sincerity and artistic gifts. When I was a kid, I did appreciate her sense of beauty, good eye and widespread creativity. It was only much later that I considered myself very lucky to have had a mother who gravitated to healthy food / vegetables and homemade dishesContinue reading “Mother’s Day”

Full Moon In May
Happy full moon! If you want to meditate tonight (too), may your guidance lead you to your blessings. You can ask that a sweeter satisfaction be shown to you.

Your Life Is Dear. So Is Your Love.
Even if you despise platitudes, you might have experienced what the other person is describing. You just don’t agree with the conclusion or the way it is said. Know when it is important to establish rapport and know when you are tolerating too much. When you get a sick feeling about the way a personContinue reading “Your Life Is Dear. So Is Your Love.”
Thay
“Whenever we hear a conversation or witness an event, our attention can be appropriate or inappropriate. If we are mindful, we will recognize which is which, nurture appropriate attention, and release inappropriate attention, noting, ‘I am aware that this inappropriate attention will not benefit me or those I care about.’ When we know how toContinue reading “Thay”

Love for Love’s Sake; Protest Out Of Love Too
I find it good to challenge and question everything that offends us, our love and sense, in a world that is losing both. I find it good to add beauty and encouragement to all things that elevate us, that promote our love and sense, for the (less evident) part of the world that has neverContinue reading “Love for Love’s Sake; Protest Out Of Love Too”
Make Art. Promote Art. Be You
It takes guts to add to the beauty and profundity of the world. Keep moving forward anyway. When you get tired, rest. But focus on what you know. Let all appearances pass. All that you want to do is what you need to do. Be YOU. NJ,28 February 2015

In the Real World, During the Pandemic
I never noticed before that birds could sing so loud as this season. Maybe this spring is the opportunity to turn attention away from what we usually let into our minds and witness what mother earth is saying to us. In other words, there is a pointer to be more with the real world, toContinue reading “In the Real World, During the Pandemic”
Prepared for Emergencies

You know very well – if you read even 10% of messages I posted since 2011,Continue reading “Prepared for Emergencies”

Hear Your Heart, In This Pause
#covid19 #shelteringinplace #beathome #hearyourheart My stress levels have been lowered significantly since I work from home and go out only for specific tasks. I am very grateful for that.

These suggestions by Dr. Jonice Webb are uplifting. I have more for you: – Slow down your breathing at least three times a day.– “Dream up” and visualize your ideal income situation and service.
