to open

4/2/2018

 
Picture

Fear is your invitation to open.
​
-Layla Saad

resolve to do well

3/1/2018

 
Picture

Courage is the resolve to do well without the assurance of a happy ending.
- Kate Marvel

born from letting go

2/1/2018

 
Picture

We can travel a long way in life and do many things, but our deepest happiness is not born from accumulating new experiences.  It is born from letting go of what is unnecessary, and knowing ourselves to be always at home.
​
- Sharon Salzberg

The time is always right to
​do what is right.

Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity & change.

falling leaves

9/1/2017

 
Picture

There are days I drop words of comfort
on myself like falling leaves &
remember that it is enough
to be taken care of by myself.
 
​                                                                                                                         - Brian Andreas

sprouting in the underwood

6/1/2017

 
Picture

Listen to me, your body is not a temple.  Temples can be destroyed & desecrated.  Your body is a forest - thick canopies of maple trees & sweet scented wildflowers sprouting in the underwood. You will grow back, over & over, no matter how badly you are devastated.        - Beau Taplin

be open

5/1/2017

 
Picture

Empathy is the skill or ability to tap into our own experiences in order to connect with an experience someone is relating
to us.  Compassion is the willingness
to be open to this process.
     -Dr. Brene Brown

a string of such moments

3/1/2017

 
Picture


​A moment of self-compassion can
change your entire day. A string
of such moments can change
​the course of your life.

                                                                                                                                                      - Christopher K. Germer

today's strength

2/1/2017

 
Picture


Worry does not empty tomorrow of its      sorrow; it empties today of its strength.                                                                                                                                                                                                  - Corrie ten Boom

The words you speak become
the house you live in.

                                                                                                                                     - Hafiz

a rule

12/1/2016

 
photo by Anne Marie Dahl
Picture
Those of us who are warm and dry and safe and well fed
must show up for those who are cold and wet and endangered
and hungry.  That's a rule of life. Every ethical and religious
and spiritual tradition in the world agrees on that rule.

                                                                                                                                                                                         - Elizabeth Gilbert

spreading light

​There are two ways of spreading light:

to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

a story we tell ourselves

10/1/2016

 
photo by Anne Marie Dahl
Picture

​Fear, to a great extent,
is born of a story we tell ourselves.

                                                                                                                                               - Cheryl Strayed

all the things

photo by Dan Riordan

​If we did all the things we are capable of,
we would literally astound ourselves.

                                                                                                                                                                               - Thomas Edison

heart for the unimaginable.

​With life as short as a half-taken breath,
don't plant anything but love.
                                                                                                                                                                                   ​- Rumi

I am not what has happened to me.  
I am what I choose to become.

                                                                                                                                                         - Carl Jung

no mud, no lotus

2/1/2016

 
Picture

You can not grow lotus flowers on marble.
You have to grow them on the mud.  No mud, no lotus.  Without suffering you have no way to learn how to be understanding & compassionate.

                                                                                                                                                                - Thich Nhat Hanh
