Love is movement.
Love is tension.
Love is release.
Love is breathing in.
Love is exhaling.
Love is thought.
Love is known.
Love is mystry.
Love is adventure.
Love is rest.

Sometimes encouraging people to work harder gets great results.

Sometimes encouraging people to rest gets great results.

How you define great and which you choose when is key.

You have to be bold to live the life you want to, to build the character you want, and to practice loving others enough for them to be bold too.

It can be so hard to do the things we know will bring us health to our minds and bodies.

Winning this battle is what makes all the difference.

Time to fight.
One choice, one habit,
one moment at a time.

Sometimes laughter is the most wonderful tonic even if there is nothing to laugh about in your situation.

Find something, anything, to make you laugh. Or skip with your arms in the air.

Might not fix anything, but it'll give you a break to gather your strength.

Sometimes the world feels so dark it takes all we have to keep the flickering flame of love alight.

This is our most important work.

What is your line?

What do you require of others for you to accept them, to trust them?

If you met you, would you measure up to those standards all the time? Have you ever failed them? Would you , could you, have grace for yourself?

Sometimes the best way through sadness is to feel it fully.

Sometimes it's to put on some music and jump around like a kid.

Wisdom is knowing which one to choose when.

Waiting.
Can be a strategic activity.
Waiting:
To gather thoughts
To renew strength
To observe and learn
To distill character
To enjoy and worship
To become
To breathe and rest
To ponder and plan
To grow in wisdom

Perseverance.
The magic that will always get you through.

What you choose to use that magic on makes all the difference.

Choose wisely.

In a heart beat your heart can feel transformed.

Take a moment to send a note of gratitude to someone.

Take a moment to write a note of gratitude to yourself.

Some weeks it is simply too hard to hold on and keep going.

It is in these weeks that it's so important to practice love through compassion and empathy.

Firstly with ourselves, then with those we love, and then with everyone else.

This week an accident claimed the life of one of our community.
She was 15.
She got in to the wrong car on the wrong night.

15 is too young for your mistakes to be final.
15 is too young to have no more new days or second chances. 15 is too young.

take a moment to refresh your soul.
breathe deeply, walk, play with your kids, run, listen to music, read a good book, meditate, visit family, dance, hang out with friends, go some where peaceful, or spiritual, or exciting, swim, go to a concert, watch a film, journal, draw, kiss

use it as your gift, your shield and your weapon in the work place.

To think something is the first creation.

Then dreaming, excitment, planning, conversations, hope

Then Work.

The first creation is only transformed into reality via the crucible of Work.

May be one fun way to change the world would be to give , where possible, those younger than you every chance and opportunity that you wished you had.

Give them the means and encouragement and then get the hell out of the way.

Politics: It's hard

It's hard to balance the complex needs of the many. It's hard to weigh proposals and opinions. It's hard to know the most important things at every moment. It's hard to have to give sentence answers to essay sized issues.
