 Eat the shrimp tempura


eat the shrimp tempura

dive into your life

dive into the emotions on the horizon and deep within your heart

learn to navigate your own road and ride the waves that come

be fearless in your care for yourself

take time to figure out what works for you, makes you happy, and meets your needs

open up like the flower you are and feel your petals warming in the sun

listen and dance dance dance to the rhythym only you have within you

and share that delightful dance or song or story or idea with the world

be ready for failures and learn most from them

celebrate who you are and your success as you celebrate the identities and successes of others 

be patient with everyone, including you

delight in your own passions and interests

watch the bees as they dance amongst the flowers

rock this world with your energy and maybe even rock the boat, too

help others through their difficult times and widen your circle of compassion

a friend once described me as courageous, honest and filled with integrity, self-aware and wholehearted. Be ready and gracious in receiving the compliments and care of others. They may not always know best for you but they want to let you know they care for you and sometimes they do know you best

take a breathe. take a walk. take the love in your life and rejoice in it

you are a lover; love generously

marvel at your world

Joyful Meanderings

-
My brother in law brings great joy to my life, through our many conversations  much laughter, and positive energy that is generated between us when we are not even chatting online or in person. He s a light in my life and brings out the best in me, nurtures my spirit and creates an enthusiasm in my life for living. We are kindred spirits and so, we have created this blog. I want to write more, and we both do, and so here we are.  When I think about joy I think about sacred conversations and how sacred every conversation really is. I seek to honour every person with whom I am n dialogue; be it a stranger, a close friend, or my most loved and cherished ones. As a Christian I am called to live with joy each day. I believe Jesus lived his life on a foundation of love and joy and started a movement because of it. Joy is for everyone. We can all feel it easily and spontaneously.  One of my favourite writers, Leo Buscaglia, said this about living, " Too often we underestimate th...

Deep Into Virtue - The Way of the Heroine/Hero

-
Glenn: It's always a beautiful thing, to see individuals do good deeds. I often think about - each time I'm seeing it - what's in their minds, who they are, where they come from, what they've been through...what they are going through now! I know each is different so I look for, and try to find, the common thread(s) that link them. It's important to me - these virtuous...their virtues. Not a likely thing that I'll be interviewing them ha. But, if I turn inward, to what prompts ME, to do good things, (that I "sometimes" try to do ha), then I'm sure I'll find some reasonable answers.  We all know about "Heroines/Heroes". They're the ones who jump into the lake to save a drowning person, or rescue someone from a cliff, or emerge from the flames with a survivor. And there are many more heroic feats - all of the countless other heroes/heroines - NOT celebrated. We know them and we cite their virtues and we sing them in our songs. They ...
