What I learned in 2024
I can rest in the transitions. And you can too. Because they will always be here, and the restlessness doesn't mean we're doing something wrong. It just means we're human living fully in this ever-changing world.

Resting in awareness
Let me just be like that little rock that sits so elegantly and confidently on the banks of the lake. Not fighting or resisting her experience, but letting it all happen just as it is. This is rest. This is true peace.

Let it go: a meditation for release

Bent but not broken
We appreciate the light so much more when it comes after the dark. We appreciate the Spring after the Winter, the sun after the rain, the healing after the wound. Then we get to help walk others through the darkness because we know the way.

When our no’s become yes’s
I'm saying "yes" to a few quiet moments outside before this day begins. I'm saying "yes" to a slower day, a day of rest. I think this is the "yes" I really do need. Thank goodness for the "no's" because of all the needed "yes's" on the other side.

Joy in the being
How often we have to fight for peace...but when we do, we find it. My peace was here in the splashing and giggles and wet floor. I wanted it to last forever.
