Someone once told me that there's nothing more important than being good. I learned to be good at a spiritual practice. It takes practice

I used to pick up trash on the sidewalks as a spiritual practice. How does one do it without anger, without judgments?

We all seek relief of some kind. My moments of self-care in a day get de-prioritized as I am distracted from one thing to another.

What if the world were constructed in such a way that a person would come face-to-face with a question so profound that it wakes them up?

I've talked about my commitment to serenity. I make it sound so simple. Words are easy to say. But how to truly live by them?

My body is a feedback system. I tune in every morning and get today’s forecast. Am I in my body? I feel my body sensations.

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 been tested. I've done really hard things. I have also faced moral challenges, some of which I've failed. What wisdom have I found?

Expectations take me out of the moment and places me smack dab in the middle of stress. Mindfulness means staying aware. I choose awareness.

I was more of a black and white thinker years ago maneuvering through the world judging good/bad, safe/unsafe, fun/not fun. I see hues now.

I used to be a grudge holder. If someone hurt me, I would forever remember who they were and what they did. Then I learned something.

I do know the majority of people walking on this earth judge themselves using shame and guilt as a guide to their actions.

I have used food all my life to hide my pain. Then I faced my food issues as a spiritual practice.

As I practice living every day, I surrender my pessimism and remember there's a learning in every experience no matter how difficult or good

With gratitude held in the palm of my hand, I feel the warmth of my heart. I am grounded in this healing. I welcome my wisdom.

what does it take to stay in an open and loving heart no matter what is happening around me?
