Facing End of Life

We all will die some day. Facing death directly (live well, explore passions, plan for passing, adopt rituals, explore the afterlife, read about death) enables us to transcend anxiety, insecurities and experience its transformative powers. Research tells us that when you embrace death you reap gifts of gratitude, freedom, beauty, worry-free, letting go, and euphoria/joy. Source: Psychology Today

Let Go

How often do you ignore your inner calling or belittle your thoughts and feelings or make decision based on what other people think and say to you.

Consider returning to listening and acting on your inner wisdom. When we nurture and build our good sense we cleanse our mind, release our pain and dissolve barriers from each other and self. 


Trust your instincts. Listen to your gut when it says yes or no and the act on that truth. The more you listen the stronger you intuition will become and the better you will get a trusting that inner voice.

Protection thru Probation

Probation is a period of testing to ascertain your fitness for a task. Probation is a granting of freedom of suspending the sentence of an offender.  The challenges in your life are what move you in a new direction and sometimes take you places you had not imagined possible.   A season of probation helps you grow emotionally and make you stronger and better able to protect yourself and handle the problems that confront you each day. When we lean into probation we can rest in the assurance that we will emerge restored, supported, strengthened, established and exhalted in our life.

Seeking Compassion

Compassion is to care for or be concerned for another; to suffer with another; to have pity for another because of their circumstances; to be compassionate means to be merciful; to have a heart that is tender and easily moved by the distresses, sufferings, wants and infirmities of others.
