Perhaps one of the most amazing things about life is that each day brings a new start. No matter how your previous day ended, the sun rises the next day to renew us. We get another chance. While it can be easy to get caught up in all of the things in life that didn’t – Read More –
“One foot in front of the next…the start of a journey…” “And to do what I want, and to do what I please is first on my to do list…” “And I’ll see you when you get there, but I’m going on…and I’m prepared to go it alone…I’m going on.” — I love this tune! – Read More –

Even when the smallest drop of light,

I believe that we are bound only by the limits that we place on ourselves. And not every story starts out with rainbows and waterfalls. Dani Johnson is an inspiration and shares her story of surviving a tumultuous childhood and an unhealthy young adulthood…to thriving.

Byron Katie reached the depths of despair and overcame it all with a revelation that she calls “The Work.” Byron’s work has changed the thoughts and lives of many with her four simple questions.
I encourage you to give it a try and visit the link below for further study! She has been so kind as to include all materials needed to practice The Work for free online :)
Write down any situation, and then ask yourself these four questions:
1. Is it true?
2. Can you absolutely know that it’s true?
3. How do you react, what happens, when you believe that thought?
4. Who would you be without the thought?
Next, Turn the thought around. (e.g. If your statement was about someone else, substitue “I” for them in the sentence.) Then find at least three specific, genuine examples of how each turnaround is true for you in this situation.

Love and appreciation to Byron Katie for sharing her work!
Change your thoughts and change your life!
In my travels, I came upon a village that had a new temple built over a big well, but no one could draw water from it without paying a price.
I asked about this, and this story was told:
One hundred years ago, there was a group of boys that would go to the well to swim, that is, all but one would dive from the top, for one was crippled and could only watch. With all his heart, he would wish he was like his friends, that his one arm and leg had not been limp since he was born.
One day, when it was especially hot, and he was watching his friends cut up and laugh at the bottom of the well, they all turned to him and stared in awe as if seeing something miraculous.
