Lighten Up Through Relaxation

It's encouraging to know that a few people can really relax...no matter where they are. When was the last time you truly set your intention to experience true relaxation. It's time to let everything go and become lighter in the process. Shed all your worrisome thoughts of guilt...and all the shoulda, coulda, woulda's that constantly play in your mind and  keeps you bound in the heaviness of that cluttered mind. Lighten up...be playful, relax and find your peace and calm. You'll feel like a new person.

Make it a great one!

 

 

 

Wild Turkeys

Riding into town today, I came upon these wild turkeys. Of course, I had my camera and stopped to get a photo. Turkey is considered the Give-away Eagle of many native people. The person who sacrifices for the good of others and carries the burden of the people is the one who is given the most respect. Turkey represents a gift of giving. The gift can be a beautiful sunset, a smile, a nod...whatever the gift, it is never unimportant! I feel grateful in witnessing the wild life that lives in my surroundings and am able to share this gift with you. Do you feel the spirit of giving rising within you? Do you feel the urge to share with others?

 

Make it a great one!

 

 

 

Duck and ducklings

 While watching these ducklings on the beach, they were all over the place...picking up bugs and wandering to the next bug. When it was time to leave (and I don't know what determined that) they started to get into a formation. Mama duck watched as they took their place in line and swam off close to the lake's edge. The question that came to me, "When was the last time you had your ducks in a row?" At different times in our lives, it's important that we get our ducks in a row in order to move forward and on to the next adventure.

Make it a great one!

 

 

 

 

Nature's Art

When was the last time you looked for art in nature? Finding nature's art is another way for me to connect with my surroundings. I may find it in a tree, a stone, a fern, a milkweed, a flower. I'm not even looking for anything in particular. I just know it when I see it! And when I see it, I marvel in it and embrace it's natural beauty. Connecting with nature and my surroundings brings a calmness and peace that goes beyond it's beauty...it caresses my spirit and awakens my heart in oneness. Is it time for you to connect with your heart, your spirit and your surroundings?

 

Make it a great one!

 

 

 

 

Touch the Sun!

 

There are usually many ways to accomplish one goal. What is it that you need to look at in a different perspective? What is it that is preventing you from seeing things differently? Some times when you feel stuck and need a different view point...change your physical position, sit in another chair, or go to a different room, go outside. What would you have done if someone asked you to touch the sun? 

 

 

 

Focus!

Wow...there is so much going on here it's hard to determine where to look first. My eyes go to the "loudest" part of the photo first. For me, the "loudest" is the sun bursting through the clouds. Then, as I continue to scan the whole photo, I notice the quiet subtleties...the light orbs, the rainbow of colors held in the sun's rays, the dark clouds, the blue sky, the sun's reflection on the water, the grasses in the forefront, the trees framing the photo and the feelings it all brings into being. It speaks of all that is needed to express the wholeness of oneness. 

 

Make it a great one!
