The beach is one of my happy places; open sky, fresh air, waves tumbling in, and sand on my feet. I breathe deeper when I see the vastness and space, and my heart opens. Everything falls away; nothing else exists.
I recently held a weekend retreat with an incredible group of women. I was deeply touched by how we knowingly or unknowingly supported each other with our presence and by simply being who we are.
Once in a while, I have absolutely nothing to write about for Mindful Monday. I sit down to write, but it feels like nothing's there. Usually, ideas flow through me but this week, nothing.
Spring is a time of new beginnings. After a long winter of resting, you can feel new life emerging. There is an aliveness in the air that brings the feeling of fresh and unlimited possibilities.
