What Business Are You Choosing Today?
What someone thinks of you is none of your business.
What Inner Critic thinks of you is none of your business.
Same with Gremlin and Monkey Mind.
What is your business?
Expiration Date or Birth Date?
When it feels like the end of the world,
it could be the beginning of a new one…
Your choice…
Today
We begin again
With Beginners Mind:
Curious, fresh eyes, new breath.
It’s the willingness to go the mysterious distance
It’s the willingness to trust
It’s the freedom we give ourselves
Again
And again.
Beginners Mind ~ the wonderment of living…
Mmmm….wonder what will happen next?!

April’s Mantra:
This too shall pass.
I am not my thoughts.
I am the awareness of my thoughts.
I am the Artist of my Creation.
All You Need Is Love
Love is all you need…
Love is all she needs…
Love is all he needs…
Love is all they need…
Love is all we need…

Breathing deeply, visualize yourself permeated with Love.
Imagine directing Love even more deeply into yourself. To her. to him. To them. To us.
With Love flowing —
How are you viewing the world now?
How is your body responding now?
Keep practicing!

Imagine loving.
Imagine loving yourself unconditionally.
Imagine loving yourself unconditionally this moment.

Notice how you respond to Life.
Notice how Life responds to you.

The Lake of a Thousand Dreams
Once upon a time in a land not so far away there lived a princess: bright, strong, independent, Her palace overlooked the Lake of a Thousand Dreams, yet she was unable to dream passion, balance and light-heartedness into her world.
The Princess suffered. One day she would be alive with happiness in what life gave her, the next day dying in hopelessness from what she saw in the world.
This story is about how she found and lived the three-fold dream of passion, balance and light-heartedness no matter what life gave her. This story is how she became Queen.
Imperfect. Impermanent. Incomplete. Beautiful.
