speaking from the heart
It takes courage to break through the masks we have co-constructed
and speak from the truth of our hearts.

Cultivate joy – simply
We may think of joy as something that happens spontaneously. Few people realize that it needs to be cultivated and practiced in order to grow.
Mindfulness is the continuous practice of deeply touching every moment of daily life.
To be mindful is to be truly present with your body and your mind, to bring harmony to your intentions and actions, and to be in harmony with those around you. We don’t need to make a separate time for this outside of our daily activities.
Quote: Thich Nhat Hanh
To live
Just to be is a blessing. Just to live is holy.
Quote: Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel
the middle of difficult
“Right in the difficult we must have our joys, our happiness, our dreams: there against the depth of this background,
they stand out,
there for the first time we see how beautiful they are.”
~Rainer Maria Rilke
