Value of Freedom
Day 8: What book are you most grateful for? Oh my what a very tough question for me…! There are so many wonderful books out there and reading is my absolute favorite form of escaping reality. I have been doing it for as long as I can remember – reading to enter another world. 😛…

Uncertainties…
Day 5: What sound are you grateful for today? This is an interesting question. I have often wanted to be deaf so that I could tune out sounds – people talking, children crying, road construction buzzing, horns honking, and the like. I get overwhelmed by sounds; thus crowded spaces heighten my anxiety levels and when…

_Portal of the Wind_ by Shizuko Natsuki
_Portal of the Wind_ by Shizuko Natsuki Last March when I was in Lake Havasu City visiting my parents, my dad and I took a trip to the public library. It is something that my dad likes to do with me and they are a dying institution in most cities. The library itself was fairly…

Excuses…?
Day 3: What color are you grateful for? Well, the obvious answer should be purple as this is my favorite color. However, my first response to this was actually red. Now, in a way this makes sense.

Seeking My Voice….
Remember a few days ago I wrote about the Gong Bath Meditation? Well, in my meditation I had some visions that we focused on feeling the manifestations of their truths in our physical bodies. Since then, I have had a hard time meditating for more than 15 minutes at a time as I keep going…

Patient Strength?
The sayings go: “What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.” or “Patience is a virtue.” I never really liked these phrases to be honest. 😛 They just felt like statements to appease one going through a tough time. Yesterday was a trying day to say the least. Hours of my day were wasted waiting…. One…

Open Communication
Today’s world allows us to be “connected” at all times. Yet, what is it that we are connected to? We have the ability to message friends and loved ones around the world 24/7 and yet communication is still difficult for many of us. To me, it does not matter how much technology we have or…
