Listening and Believing

We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that something deep inside is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch.  Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit. (e.e. cummings. The Wisdom of Listening. Edited by Mark Brady)

Wishing you peace and well being as your listen and believe in yourself.

Opening Yourself

Don’t treat yourself as a commodity to be bartered, promoted, and sold. Don’t treat yourself as a self-improvement project. Treat yourself as a source of revelation, a deepening presence that will make itself known to you in surprising and generous ways. (David Whyte. What to Remember When Waking.)

Wishing you peace and well being as you fully engage in the richness that life offers you and all of us.

 Wishing you peace and well being as you find and experience fun in your personal and professional life.

Mutual Respect

Ideological differences may divide us from one another, but the mutual respect and consideration we show each other can bridge the gap and keep our dissimilarities from coming between us.

Wishing you peace and well being as you demonstrate respect and consideration towards yourself and others.
