"There are Two Ways to Live Your Life.

One is stressed out. The other is...not." ~ Byron Katie

I think that this is a wonderful reminder to have each day. Stressing out is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Love is a choice. Peace is a choice.

I love this song, "Peace Today" by Faith Rivera. http://www.peacetodaymovie.com/

Right now seems like a very busy time for me, doing lots of things, learning lots of things and not as much time just "being." Just being is a very feminine thing, I feel. And it is very nourishing and nurturing for the soul. We all need this 'just being' time. It is life-giving!

"If the well is dry, the village doesn't drink."

Luckily, there is still a calm, still spot inside of me. I can find it when I focus on my breath, I can find it during meditation, I can find it when I am out in nature...and these days, I can find it when I stand at the window, looking out at nature. :) In all these moments, I can give water to dry ground and live juicy once more!

This busy time, this learning time, I believe, may actually be about letting go of things that aren't important so that I can focus on what is!
