Move out of the world of measurement and judgment, and watch your life get easier.  You expect no harm from change.  You simply part like a river around a rock, continuing towards the open sea.

You give your love, live your life, each and every day.  And remember to keep your hands wide open, and let the sun shine through, because you can never lose a something that never belongs to you.

Stress and anxiety evaporate as we loosen our grip.  Letting go isn’t giving up, it’s only giving up trying to change people and control what you can’t: the unseen force that strings together this thing we enjoy “life”.

Harshly judging ourselves and one another and trying to control every outcome has made women weary and harmed many of our relationships.  Let’s soften our hearts in all our interactions, especially towards people who irritate us the most.  Of course this will require strength.  Let’s start tearing down the fences and barriers that separate us so that we can embrace working together towards a common goal.

Our hardest work is going beyond our learned behavior, and healing ourselves so that we can finally stop passing our pain and dysfunction from one generation to the next.

Take time and notice how easily you judge yourself, others and each event.  Notice how tight and grim you feel.  Take a few deep breaths, relax and decide today I will start a love affair with life, making no more negative judgments about anyone or anything!  GO with the flow and feel the difference.

As we move out of the world of measurement and judgment, we trust in divine order more, and life will get easier.  We love ourselves more and find a new meaning of our relationships.  We are kinder, wiser, more appreciative and healthier too.  We expect no harm from change, from the natural flow of life, which can never direct.  Cheers to your love affair with life!

If your life is feverishly frantic, confusing, complicated, overwhelmingly burdened – you’d better slow down because there is something you are missing. If you don’t have time to do the things you love, while the things you spend your time doing make you feel and act unloving – slow down, there is something that you are missing.

We cannot expect to be in control of the circumstances in our lives when we cannot control our minds for five minutes. Meditation is the daily minimum requirement that will prevent us from breaking down and falling apart at the most inopportune moments. It is the art of listening. It is a practice which enables us to tune in and fine-tune the key areas of our lives: the mind and the spirit.

Finding the way to joy, peace, abundance, health, and balance requires an examination and evaluation of everything you cherish. In the midst of your evaluation, your higher power will step in and separate that which is false from that which is true; that which is necessary from that which no longer serves any purpose in your life.

If you know that your life is a journey and if you want to make it to your divine destination, you must learn to travel light! Unpack the abrasive attitudes, addictive appetites, and frivolous fears that you have packed away in the crevices of your heart and mind. Pack a tidbit of truth, a capsule of courage, a fistful of faith, and a pocketful of prayer, and be on your way!

You can’t do anything as long as you are afraid of what might happen. Fear clouds opportunities, erases possibilities, and limits the ability to move beyond the place in which the mind is stuck. No matter how difficult we think the problem is, we must muster up the courage to face it.

From where you sit, it may seem that certain people should know better. People are who they are and do what they do whether or not you like it or agree with them. We each have different lessons to learn. We each take a different path to our lessons.  Cheers to slowing down!
