As we move through this beautiful and troubled world, may we vow to be a beacon of peace, a fearless carrier of respect and lovingkindness for all life, a teller of truth, a voice for justice, a protector of those who are vulnerable or targeted. May the power of wisdom, integrity and compassion be our guide. And may we follow these instructions of the Buddha.......
"Others will kill. We shall not kill. Thus we should direct our hearts.
Others will be cruel. We shall not be cruel. Thus should we direct our hearts.
Others will speak falsely. We will speak what is true. Thus we should direct our hearts.
Others will be fraudulent. We shall not be fraudulent. Thus we should direct our hearts.
Others will be hateful. We shall become loving. Thus we shall direct our hearts.
Others will be unwise. We shall become wise. Thus we shall direct our hearts."
May we carry these intentions with courage, as a beacon and a medicine, as a blessing to all we touch. #mindfulness #compassion #jackkornfield - Jack Kornfield

Stress makes you think that everything has to be fixed right now. Just breathe. Things have a way of working themselves out. - unknown
Most of our stress is caused by the mind leaving what's happening in the present moment and worrying about what will happen next. The present is the only opportunity we have to make choices and take the actions necessary to influence what will happen in the future.
When you begin to feel stressed it means your mind is worrying about the future or regretting something about the past, so just pause, take several deep breaths, come back to the moment, and ask yourself, "What am I thinking about right now that's causing me to feel this anxiety?" - Michelle & Barb

HOPE
Hope still wins but it often has a tear stained face.
It has a vulnerable heart.
It has bloodied fists, because it keeps on fighting.
It has craped knees, because it keeps in crawling forward.
Its sweaty; hope is not necessary pretty.
But you always want Hope on your side because hope will fight for you.
Hope will fight for the hardest parts of your life. - Jo Saxton

The only way to bring true magic into your life is to start believing in it. - Steve Aitchison
Today is the day to take all of your pain, all of your anger, all of the sadness about the unfairness of life, all of your fears about an uncertain future - and release yourself from all of it. Watch it slip into the nether-realm of the past like an untethered boat filled with useless, outdated baggage that serves no purpose in your life. Watch as it floats farther and farther downriver until it is gone from your sight; some of it may still exist somewhere, for whomever should choose to hold onto it - but it is no longer tethered to you. Today you are free to fill a new boat with whatever supplies you choose to bring along for a happy, fulfilling and passionate life that reflects who you are right now, this very day. So bon voyage!!! - Spiritual Awakenings
