I sit at my desk tonight and see two totally different announcements. One is the celebration of a new birth and the other is the Loving memory of a one year old.

Ah the beauty of nature. The month of May has been very productive. Yes the trees are out in full bloom and the tulips are almost finished making room for all the perennials to peek their head out into the sun.
Well, the birds, as you can see by the pictures have been busy too. My front door is the busiest on the street with clients coming and going. Mama and Papa mourning doves decided that my porch would be the perfect place for their little darlings. Continue reading
As I look outside and see the tulips and crocuses popping up through the wet ground, I acknowledge spring’s gentle message to wake up. Reflecting on the last couple of entries that focused on running, I appreciate it is now time to admire the beautiful flowers, notice what is happening around me and walk slowly and smell the sweetness in the air.

I remember my oneness with nature and recognize how easy it is to become disconnected from our source of guidance and healing.
The article below by Rachelle Williams explains the purpose and how to connect with Nature.

As I seat on the huge Redwoods on Vancouver Island, feeling very small, I find the inner peace that is available to all of us. Found a great article by Deepak Chopra on the importance of maintaining inner peace.
by: Deepak Chopra, M.D.
More than in the past, people are recognizing the value of having inner peace. This represents a shift away from an earlier value system that put the highest priority on consumerism, career success, competition, and unending distractions. But wanting inner peace is only the first step. Actually having inner peace as a lasting experience involves a journey inward.

As I stand facing the ocean in Mexico and wobble back and forth in the sand, it reminds me of life. The challenges, forgiveness and learning to grow from the mistakes.
Below I included part of an article by Jennifer Partridge, discussing the benefits of challenging yourself.
