be inspired

“Today, I have a choice: to live unsatisfied and distracted by a life-yet-to-be or to live now—to enter into, to be present in, to savor THIS life.”

Terry Hershey

I’m honored you have visited my site.  Thank you.

I have no techniques.
I cannot tell you what to do.
I cannot give you permission.
I can tell you this: life is about being present.

The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware. Henry Miller

So, why do we hold on to the notion that life—or our spiritual retreat, or spiritual healing, or spiritual inspiration—begins someplace other than where we are right now? Why is it so easy to begin the sentences in our mind with “if only…” or “when…”?

I invite you instead to give yourself the permission to. . .

Regain the foolishness of wonder
Embrace the sacred in the daily
Celebrate gooseflesh
Go human
Radiate compassion
Find God in the ordinary
Live playfully
Spill laughter
Invite serendipity
Allow your Spiritual Renewal to be a journey
Savor the moment
Practice the Power of Pause
Delight in life, knee-deep in the sights, smells, sounds and textures of the day
And remember that Grace is a gift given to all.  Without exception.  Period.

Slowing down lets us see.
Seeing allows us to be amazed.
Amazement gives way to gratitude.
In Gratitude we relinquish control, and embrace life.
This life. This exquisite and extraordinary and often messy life.
