Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

A definition of Thanksgiving I like is being grateful for what is already in my life. The people, the situations-the good, bad and ugly are welcomed. I want my Mom to be well, but I treasure all the good times we've had together since she was diagnosed. I want more clients, but I feel very lucky for being my own boss and liking the folks I already work with. More work is on the way. Having more down time gives me some more time to write, plan and create the life I’ve been envisioning for myself. Also, I have more time with Mom.

What lessons can we learn? What treasures can we see? How can we be kinder to ourselves and be who we are meant to be without waiting anymore?

There is a lot to be grateful for. Thanks to all my friends and family.
Love
Eve

Compassion, Patience and Acceptance

Happy fall!


It is not winter yet. I hope we all have been enjoying the warmer temps. I prepare for the coming cold by reflecting on compassion, patience and acceptance. How can compassion be a force for action and change?Being angry is not working. Seeing other people as fellow humans who may be going through a hard time and not as the enemy may be a healthier way to see others. Accepting people where they are at… this is a work in progress and my true intention. Having patience with myself is also a gift I cherish.

How can I let go of my expectations so that I can enjoy what other people do offer?I think this could be away to enjoy the holidays more. Gifts can come in all different shapes and sizes. Time is a most precious gift to give.

Peace and Love.
