All he wanted to do was come through the door like the six of us did, walk freely. I’m a member of a hospice choir, and we just finished...

I've experienced food bullying since childhood. As I hear people facing illnesses & disorders, I wonder what unresolved emotions are at play

Our egos are built with thick walls fortified by our childhood experiences, our need to fit in, our want for success, our inner judge

There is a theme that has been playing over and over throughout my life. Helpless and voiceless.

Too many people around me are suffering with illness and challenges. I feel hopeless and helpless. I worry I'm next.

When I sit in silence, sometimes I grasp my opposite wrist. I feel my bones nestled neatly under my skin. We're spiritual beings in bodies

I have the ability to imagine anything I want. I learned to prepare for the worst so I got really good at imagining worse-case scenarios.

Yesterday was a day in my history. I lived without a net. I stayed in the present. I didn’t look forward or back. It was a free day.

I am grateful for the sunshine today. Sunshine has broken free from the darkness. June has broken free from May. And it’s a new day!

I've lived my life in fear. I had an inside infrastructure designed to keep me safe. Making a commitment has changed everything and nothing.

I’ve decided to put a wall mirror in my meditation room. Nothing fancy. Just something I can gaze at to reinforce my accountability.

I once dug myself into a hole so deep that I had no idea how I would get out. It became my secret. And my burden.

On this marked day of renewal for life, for love, for all sentient beings on this Earth, I offer this prayer.

I have lost my ability to sing. I wonder if my tender emotions have been part of it. So I went on a retreat to learn to love myself.

I was on a path where I was receptive and open. When one is in that state, one never knows the form the teacher will take.

I remember the day I started a support group for parents and caregivers of chronically ill and special needs children. It didn't go well.

I've talked about my commitment to serenity. I make it sound so simple. Words are easy to say. But how to truly live by them?

I’ve read that core beliefs are a person’s most central ideas about themselves. Everything's filtered through them. Even if they aren't true

I’ve learned how important it is to honor my needs, not deny them. Now I bow to the wisdom of my vessel and honor the inner alarms.

The love in this valley goes beyond love of self, love of other. I am in love but I do not know with whom.
