Peace Ripple...

It has been far too long since I last wrote here.  So much has happened, life has been a whirlwind, and I got caught up in the glorification of "busy". I've felt lost and unsure of my direction.  I wondered if I was on the right path, or if I should have turned off miles ago!  Sound familiar? In my head, I knew all of the things that I "should" do, but somehow, I just felt stuck. Thankfully, I reached a point on the calendar where life slowed down.  I decided to take some time out.  I started listening to my body.  I slept in, I ate less, I moved more slowly and gently.  I still took care of my family and the home, but I didn't feel as rushed. I started breathing more deeply and mostly through my nose.  Just being aware of the breath is such a great way to calm the body and mind...and spirit. I now celebrate the glorification of "calm"!  I am feeling more peaceful, and with that, I'm also feeling lighter and more joyful.  What ...

"Being infinitely patient means having an absolute knowing that you're in vibrational harmony with the all-creating force that intended you here. You know that everything will happen at just the right time, at just the right place, with just the right people."   ~ Dr. Wayne Dyer I love this quote...I do know this, I just forget it sometimes.  I know that when I am aligned with Trusting the unfolding of my life, I Know that everything is happening exactly as it should.  I feel Peace and I move through my life with lightness and joy. 

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs.  Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go and do that.  Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."   - Harold Whitman I love this quote!  What makes you come alive?  What makes your soul sing?  What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?  Go take a step in that direction...feels good huh?!

"Being relaxed, at peace with yourself, confident, emotionally neutral, loose, and free-floating- these are the keys to successful performance in almost everything you do."   - Dr. Wayne Dyer

I am not usually into hip-hop music, but I changed my mind after hearing this! 

A lot of people complicate the path to Peace.  It can be very simple...a choice... I can choose to be stressed and cranky...or I can choose to see this moment unfolding exactly as it should, especially when it is beyond my control.  In choosing the latter, I release my control and can flow much more in tune with the situation.  With no need for control, I am then free to create .  And I will create whatever I think about. I choose Peace!

Take the hand of your child and invite her to go out and sit with you on the grass. The two of you may want to contemplate the green grass, the little flowers that grow among the grasses, and the sky. Breathing and smiling together - that is peace education. If we know how to appreciate these beautiful things, we will not have to search for anything else. Peace is available in every moment, in every breath, in every step.                                                            - Thich Nhat Hanh
