We all change. We all experience love, loss, pain, regret, sacrifice. Yet in the surrender we can find great love awaiting us as we release and fall into the arms of the great mother.

Poetry is the music of the heart. Inspired by Rumi, I was blessed to receive a reminder of the blessing that unfolds when one creates space for the opportunity. The healing journey is one that we all walk in our own way and time, however there are many tools that allow facing one's shadow aspects to support a releasing and deeper understanding in a beautiful, supportive way.

Don't ignore your inner roar. Don't pretend everything is alright when you know you are lying to yourself. Be real, be honest, be courageous enough to grow in love and push through that discomfort in order to rise in the true energy of love.

In personal matters of the heart, we tend to forget the 2-way relationship and in/out flow of energy that is in constant communication with the world around us. We place blinders over our eyes that bare witness to the truth as we wish to see it so that we can remain right and stay within our comfort zones.

Reflection and morning stillness have a sweet ability to allow for so many memories to come forward. So many previously overlooked details in one’s life that in the busyness of time and to do’s we forget until the moment of grace comes to remind us of how loved we truly are. We are here to enjoy life and that means remembering the little details and acts of love expressed, given, and received by perfectly imperfect humans including ourselves.

I am a plant. Nothing more and nothing less, and it is here in this awareness that I have found my peace because I understand the language of love and how my body is communicating to me.

We have no control over what is happening out in the world, and as much as we wish for peace and equality for all that’s just not going to happen unless we start by going within, and I mean deep within to that place of acceptance.
