Celebrating Life
Mary Oliver asks us, “Are you breathing just a little and calling it a life?”
I was. I’m not anymore.
The Plants can guide us to the life of our dreams and help us create the World we know is possible. We owe this to the future generations. We owe this to ourselves.

Are we kind? In our private thoughts and actions? Are we kind in our thoughts about ourselves? The beloved teacher and guide, Thich Nhat Hanh recently left his physical body.

As always, if we are struggling, the Plants are willing to help us.

One of the great gifts of humanity is curiosity. We can utilize this gift to get to know one another, listen to someone’s story or experiences and enjoy their glimpse of the multiverse. Connection, appreciation, and empathy lead us to the path of Love. This path of Love leads us back to community, to who we are meant to be, to our rightful place as part of Nature. This path of Love leads us to our beautiful future of thriving, together.

I recently was experiencing overwhelm. I know that I’m not alone in this as I’ve heard about overwhelm from my clients, students, friends, and family. Perhaps you too have been feeling this. Overwhelm has been a presence in my life before, especially when I was younger; however the pandemic situation exacerbates it. Overwhelm is not a bad thing. It is a sign. Your body is trying to get your attention, helping you to remember to enjoy life. These are suggestions that I have found to be useful for myself and my clients for dealing with overwhelm.
In the Time of Compassion
When I get overwhelmed with world events, “news”, the pandemic, or anything, I turn to Nature. I am told that compassion is the biggest lesson for us now. Compassion is active; it is cultivated.
