Love has no agenda …

Today … may we trust love, God, the universe enough to simply be real. May we be present enough with who we are to revel in our majesty.

And may we share it with neither pride nor shame.… More

Happy Birthday to the man who loves me without feeding my ego or his. In my wild-ass-dreamer imagination, I cannot imagine a more fearless partner in love and in life … and in the ongoing growth demanded by both.

Happy Birthday, Baby Boy! I love you. I love you! I love you! … More

I’m thankful for the harvest, for the law of sowing and reaping. We are blessed with good seed to sow, a faithful sun and rain, and whatever magic, or science, makes a seed sprout green through dark soil.

And I’m thankful that no matter how much we evolve, a willing soul will always find a purer love to grow into. There is no lack of freedom, no lack of potential, no lack of passion.

And I’m thankful for a partner who is content to go with the flow, while never content to stop dreaming, believing, and acting on faith. I’m grateful for knowing we were meant to be … and for all the sowing, misguided striving, and learning that led me to him.

And I’m thankful for a god, a creator, a heavenly father, without whom there would be no law of the harvest.

On this Thanksgiving Day, I am one grateful little girl. And I’m thankful that I can be this old and still feel this young.

Happy Thanksgiving to you my dear friends. I’m thankful for YOU.… More

On that first Thanksgiving Day in 1621, the colonists invited the Indians to join them in giving thanks for the harvest. Being thankful meant having enough to share. It still does.

A grateful man will share — and be glad he’s able — regardless of how much he has. What he shares of his time or his substance will include an attitude of sufficiency, a knowing that there is enough, and that there is more where that came from. He sees abundance because he looks through grateful eyes, not greedy ones. And he multiplies what he has by being openhanded.

Often, we measure a man (or woman) by what he has. But what he’s willing to give is a better indication of what he really has. What he’s clinging to is what has him — his attention, his grip, and his energy. The thing he clings to can’t get away, but neither can he.

A grateful man has what an ungrateful man wants but cannot seem to find — enough. A sense of worth and plenty does not come with the accumulation of things; it comes with the knowledge of who you are apart from the things — the house, the job, the bank account, and even the family and circle of friends.… More
