Animals (humans included) all have instincts... Our instincts alert us to danger, and inspire us to go where there is something wonderful awaiting us.

If we start off with the thought that we won't succeed at something, the Universe responds to what we say and think, and interprets that as a request...

 I think that "sweet and sour" is an apt description for life... some sweetness mixed in with some sour.

Life can feel chaotic with its many stresses and challenges. However, when we maintain a peaceful perspective, things flow much more smoothly. 

One of our assets is previous knowledge and experience. That experience of previous relationships is all part of the tools we have to use in our day-to-day encounters.

When we choose to connect with the better angels of our nature, our inner self, we can tap in to a source of bliss and creativity. 

The more we remember who we truly are -- Love -- the better and happier our life will be.

At times, we can be our worst enemy. We do this mostly through the thoughts we harbor in our mind. We often project our doubts and fears on others, assuming that...

As we develop friendships and loving relationships, we discover that others do love us for who we are, quirks and all. They are not as judgmental towards us as we, perhaps, are to ourselves.

In order to be at peace with ourselves, we need to be at peace with those around us. An angry and agitated person cannot be at peace with themselves, whatever the cause of their stress.

If we try to meticulously plan for everything in the future, we are often wasting our time. Life has a way of magically heading in a direction other than the one we had chosen.

When we resist what is, we dig in our heels and end up stagnant, stuck in place. However, when we pay attention to the direction Life is flowing, we often discover pathways that we had not seen...

Creating space and time for stillness in our life allows our soul to connect to the essence of inner peace.

Even on the darkest day when the clouds seem to be everywhere, the sun is always present, up behind the clouds. The sun is always there, even when we don't see it.

Life can be confusing. At times, we are not sure where we are headed, or if we are headed in the right direction, or even how to get to where we desire to be.

We learn to live life in balance, accepting that there are ups and downs, moments of extreme joy and extreme pain, moments of love and times where love seems absent.

"You can either paint a dark picture of life -- or choose a brighter, happier palette..."

Of all the questions, this one is the most important: What's the most loving choice?

One of the things that stops us from following our guidance,or living our dream, is fear. Whether it's fear of...

We have so many things to be grateful for. Yet, perhaps the one thing that is the greatest is that every day we get a chance to start over. 

The greatest guide we have is our heart. It can help get us out of whatever messes we have created, and guide us to be a "best version" of ourselves.

Sometimes we go on automatic pilot. We do things and make choices without really being aware of the choice we are making or the consequence of that choice.

The meaning of living in the moment is basically this: we do what comes to our awareness at the time it comes to our awareness.
