So this life has been throwing major loops into the paths of many people I care about.
And a few little ones into my own world.
But in spite of the crappy stuff, the scary stuff, the hard to accept or forgive stuff,
the “makes you feel powerless” stuff,
there is a current of life, light and love that runs so beautifully deep throughout it all.
It blows me away whenever I gather my strength and go to that place of thankfulness instead.
A place of hope :
A place of discovery :
Where peace is possible, even if it is just for a moment or two…
A place where we can choose how we want to travel through this life…
and where Love and connection to other hearts reigns supreme.
A place where little joys are around every corner to celebrate, if we just look for them…
So while this world may not be easy to understand in so many, many ways,
returning to the place of thankfulness over and over again makes this life precious.
And it gives us the strength to get up each day and
Welcome to Summer. May it be a season of thankfulness for your heart.
Big Love, Beautiful Ones!

This is a lovely reminder. Thank you.
What a wonderful post. That you, dear one, for sharing in such an open way and for saying what I (for one) needed to hear. xoxo
Thank you so much for this important reminder. It can be very easy to forget this, what with all the yuck going on in the world. But there IS so much goodness going on as well, all around us. And it's more important than ever to pay attention and really notice it. And most importantly, to be thankful for it. Thank you for being a shining example of this practice. I'm thankful for you, dear girl. xoxo
You make me smile, with your open heart, and appreciation for LIVING a big life! You rock!
Somehow, summer and lowers and visits with beautiful, loving people make the heavy things lighter. Big hugs to you! You are beautiful and loving!
