Hiking the Whites

“I love the forest for all I see in front of me.  I love it for all I don’t see but can imagine.  To walk through these leafy corridors how does one not understand we are one with it all no matter how hard we may have tried to forget it?

“In its simplest form this is what a hike is for me”

An excerpt from “Hiking The Whites with Tom & Atticus.

Promise Yourself

Promise yourself that you’ll always remember what a special person you are

Promise yourself that you’ll hold on to your hopes and reach out for your stars.

Promise yourself that you’ll live with happiness over the years and over the miles.

Promise yourself that you’ll “remember when…” and you’ll always “look forward to…”

Promise yourself that you’ll do the things you have always wanted to do.

Promise yourself that you’ll cherish your dreams as treasures you have kept.

Promise yourself that you’ll enjoy life day by day and step by step.

Promise yourself a life of love and joy and all your dreams come true.

Laugh your way to wholeness

“Humor has the potential to get us over some of the highest humps and biggest pitfalls in life.  I find that being able to laugh about what I’m going through is crucial to my sanity.” …”Laughter is great medicine. It raises the level of feel good chemicals in our brains, calms our nervous systems and relaxes our physical bodies.  Can you find humor in those things that have the power to overwhelm you?  Do you give yourself enough opportunity to experience joy?  Try to look for humor in the difficult situations you face, for ex. read joke books, watch comedy films, buy funny refrigerator magnets and commit to laughing your way to wholeness.

My high school coach always used to tell me that “You gotta be insane to be sane.” Ain’t that the truth!!!  ~me~

Giving

“When we give in the world, what we want the most, we heal the broken part inside each of us.”

Happiness in Truth

“Happiness exists in action, in telling the truth. It exists in saying what your truth is and it exists in giving away what you want the most.”

From Finding Happiness in Body and Soul  by Eve Ensler

Just Be Yourself

To be who you are is to be enough.

To share who you are is to share enough.

To do what you love is to do enough.

There is no race to win and nothing to be proven, only dreams to be nurtured, a self to be expressed, and love to be shared.

Never doubt your worth, and always know, without any doubt, that you are truly valued.
