Valuing You

The most powerful restorative images are those that reinforce our deepest values. They include: basic humanity interest in the well-being of others; love; spiritual connection; appreciation of natural and creative beauty; community connection; compassionate behavior.

Encouraging Curiosity

Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? The person that asks a thousand questions drives you crazy - right...before you loose your patience, know that they are practicing the gift of curiosity - the desire to find answers or learn. We are born curious. When we encourage curiosity we receive gifts of closeness, decreased anger, increased understanding, problem solving, humility, boredom relief, and elimination of the risk of selfishness. Give yourself and those around you permission to be creative.
