We have to learn to be our own best friends because we fall too easily into the trap of being our own worst enemies. ~Roderick Thorp I am totally outa my groove … I am curious why daily routines are altered — mainly my sleep patterns/energy levels. But I will resist resistance, and allow this [...]

We can jump. If we wanna.

by stargardener

We are never further from what we wish than when we believe that we have what we wished for. ~Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe There are moments when we see a flicker of what we know we want — what we wish for, our heart’s desire — and the distance between “here” and “there” causes us [...]

Our lives are a collection of stories

by stargardener

Our lives are a collection of stories – truths about who we are, what we believe, what we come from, how we struggle, and how we are strong. When we can let go of what people think, and own our story, we gain access to our worthiness – the feeling that we are enough just [...]

{another voice may speak}

by stargardener

It doesn’t have to be the blue iris, it could be weeds in a vacant lot, or a few small stones; just pay attention, then patch a few words together and don’t try to make them elaborate, this isn’t a contest but the doorway into thanks, and a silence in which another voice may speak. [...]

reTooling

by stargardener

There is no abstract art.  You must always start with something.  Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.  ~Pablo Picasso It has been my habit to begin where I am … To move in the direction of my dreams intuitively — with minimal planning — observing and learning as I go. And today I [...]

If your days are numbered — and they are — how will you spend this day?

by stargardener

This prompt was whispered in my spirit during an episode of chemo-cocktail-induced insomnia in 2002. I was physically miserable and spiritually parched. And I will spare you the crazy, blazing thoughts within my wrapped bald head! “If your days are numbered — and they are — how will you spend this day?” At that moment, [...]

Hard things; things worth doing that require time and focus.

by stargardener

“Tackling the hard things. Taking the time to look at the big places in my life that need change. Climbing the mountains of forgiveness and grace. Those are the things that may not be finished in a day or a night under fluorescent lights, but those are the things that are important.” ~Sarah Markley Those [...]
