Paths, Flowers and the Present Moment

Photos from my 2010 trip to Positano

"Stay in the present moment.
Listen to your inner guidance.
Trust the wisdom of your heart.

Positano, Italy 2010


Feel the life force, guiding you, moving you forward.

Go where it leads.

Embrace your destiny.




Know you help create it
by what you choose each step of the way.



Let your choices come from your heart.





Trust and value each moment of your life.
Let it be important.




It is a turning point.
It is a spiritual experience.




Now is the time to practice what you know.
Trust.
Let go.
Stay peaceful as you can.
Stay right here
in the present moment.





Sharpen your tools- your intuition, your inner voice,
your consciousness, and your awareness.

Do the little things, the small actions that appear right,
the things that are right before you.





Feel your feelings.
Move through the fear.
Wrap up in self-love.




Then let the journey unfold.
Trust that you are being guided and led."

~Melody Beattie
from Journey to the Heart


I love this song! It will give you a boost!
Hope you enjoy it!!



If you haven't heard, our brothers and sisters in the Cinque Terre and Genova need our prayers and our help. If you can, please give to the Italian Red Cross. Under "Causale della donazione" hit the arrow and click on "Emergenza Liguria e Toscana." Grazie!


Blessings and light to you, my friends!

Ci mostri i colori di un luogo meraviglioso e ci chiedi di dare aiuto alle persone colpite dall'alluvione. Grazie per lo sguardo sulla bellezza e per la sensibilità verso la sofferenza e il bisogno altrui. Ciao.
