Sunrise is a magical time. The birds know it. They stretch their wings, sing songs, celebrate. The earth says wake up there

At that moment I could finally feel it and I realized I would never, alone, fill that bottomless hole inside me. A visualization helped.

When I listened to reflections, I felt myself become an observer of me listening. I live more with the dualism of being human and spirit.

365 days ago, I made a commitment to myself. Every morning, I would sit in silence. I missed community. So began my Zoom meditation journey.

Years ago, in my old life when I worked as a freelance court reporter on the road, I had a conversation about the meaning of little things.

This good feeling is healing energy bumping up against my nostrils and inviting me to steer this energy towards my heart.

I am made up of two minds. One lives in my human body, aware of my past and present. My other mind lives in my heart where the miracles are.

In my Silence, I feel my pain rise, discomfort grow, fear grip me. Sometimes I feel anger bump against my insides. Breath helps it dissipate

I have a fierce pride in what I believe in. My goal is to live this intention all the time but fear gets in the way. How to deal with it?

I felt numb staying home. Then I felt a sense of despair. It was as if many people in my life had died. Grief made me aware. So I adapted.

I’ve wanted something all my life. To be heard, to feel loved, to have friends, to belong. But there was always something missing.

No matter what position I put myself in, what positive change I make, what intention I make, what activity I do, I come back to uncertainty.

Training my brain to stay in the moment is a day-by-day process. One little affirmation can change the direction of my thoughts.

Today I focus on gratitude because it helps take the sting out of the pain. Finding the good takes effort and intention.

My silence is a gift. My mind is a gift. My heart is a gift. My human vessel is a gift. I am in charge of rising. I am in charge.

I’ve been scared away by life again. Two steps forward, one step back. Why does my humanness have to interfere with my happiness?

I've created an altar I sit in on a daily basis to listen, feel, write and deliver. These 300 days of meditation have been a journey for me.

Life gets really crusty when my fear turns into a wall and I go around in circles. I’ve witnessed before and remedy it by taking action.

I breathe in patience and breathe out compassion. I stand as one with my spirit and human body, guided by my soul. I am whole.
