Compassion is a quiet force,
yet it can change everything.
It arrives without fanfare.
It moves gently,
in small acts that reach deep.

A single kindness
can ease the weight of sorrow,
bridge the distance between strangers,
and whisper to someone in the dark:
you are not alone.

It opens hearts once closed by pain,
softens anger into understanding,
and teaches us to see
the fragile beauty in others.

Through compassion,
we begin to see beyond difference,
beyond fear,
beyond the sharp edges of anger.

It reminds us:
every soul carries a story,
every heart longs to be understood.

And in offering kindness,
we are changed too,
made humbler,
braver,
more tender,
more human.

"It's not a mistake ...
Taking a chance.
Choosing a new path.
Choosing the thing that feels right but doesn't come with any guarantees.

If the other choice is spending the rest of your life wondering what would've happened - wishing you just would've tried - then it's not a mistake.

Sometimes you have to believe in what you can't see but what you can feel. You have to listen to the voice that says "this is right". You have to trust that you and you alone know what's best for you. And those directions don't come from the overthinking mind, but from your beating heart.

There's Something in you that's not tangible.
It can't be put in a box or easily explained.

But it feels.
It understands.
It holds the directions.
It sees what your eyes can't.
It knows the way.

You have everything you need, to navigate this path with strength and grace. And I promise you don't have to settle for anything half-hearted.

Not now.
Not ever.

So please know - its not a mistake.
Not if it feels right.
Not if this is where your heart is calling you toward.

🌟Ravenbridge Yoga Studio will be closed tonight for the preparation and celebration of my youngest Daughter's birthday 🎂 Classes will resume Thursday ay 7pm for Restorative Yoga. 🌟🙏

Breathing in Change:

As the days drift slowly into autumn, may we learn the quiet art of letting go.

This morning, I breathe in change with ease.
I breathe out what no longer serves my highest good.

Like the trees, I release with trust.
What falls away creates space for new life.

Today, may I find the courage to surrender to what is,
and the grace to welcome all, that is already on its way.

✨️This is Judy Daley, she is and was my Mother. Judy taught me how to live and love with my entire being. My Mom gave me the appreciation of literature, nature and music. My Mom gave me the gift of forgiveness, laughter and great food.

We celebrate her memory tonight. One year ago today, with chicken pot pie and peaches and cream pie🍑🥧 I see my Mom in my hands when I make these things. Thank you for teaching me your secrets ♥️

I miss her and I only wish I could only ... just .. talk to her....and, I guess I do.... in my own way. ♥️

All I know, is that I would endure a thousand heartbreaks to take away what happened to her. Judy was loved by so many. Cherished by the few of us left behind. 🌟♥️🥹

How do I live without you?
Oh my love I do not.

You are with me from the moment I open my eyes
until they close.
And even after that,
on the plane of dreams where mortals and souls meet, you are with me still.

“I’ve not learned to live without you,
perhaps I never will,
the truth of the matter is,
you are always with me still.”

You walked such a blazing pathway, when your feet were on this earth, that your imprint lingers on and I place my own feet in your steps, one by one.

How do I live without you?
It’s really very simple.
I do not.

“I have yet to live without you,
perhaps I never will,
perhaps the key to grief is,
you are always with me still.”

🌟I often know the right words to say. This gift left me speechless. Thank you, Mary-Ellen VanderSluis, it couldn't have come at a better time. 🌟You are what is right in this world🌟

Every minute someone leaves this world behind. Age has nothing to do with it.
We are all in "the line" without knowing it.
We never know how many people are before us.
We can not move to the back of the line.
We can not step out of the line.
We can not avoid the line.

So while we wait in line:

Make moments count.
Make priorities.
Make the time.
Make your gifts known.
Make a nobody feel like a somebody.
Make your voice heard.
Make the small things big.
Make someone smile.
Make the change.
Make love.
Make up.
Make peace.
Make sure to tell your people they are loved.
Make sure to have no regrets.
Make sure you are ready…

🌟Ravenbridge Yoga Studio is extending it's vacation until August 6th. We are inviting everyone back into the studio on Thursday for Restorative Yoga at 7pm.🌟
Namaste 🌙 🙏 ❤️

I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going, and I have trained myself to love it.
It is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and begin our flight.
And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going, but the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings.
You may not know where you're going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.

If there’s a secret voice in your head whispering that life was meant to be far greater than the one you were offered, please trust it because it’s right.

You were not meant to hate Mondays, to live for the weekend or to dream of your next vacation.

Yet you might believe that there is something wrong with you, for it appears that nearly everyone else is doing just fine.

Well, here’s the truth:
Most people in this culture deep down feel that their life lacks meaning; they just don’t want to admit it, to others and especially to themselves. For admitting it means facing a harsh truth and the emotional turmoil that is bound to arise from that — hence, they prefer to suppress their inner voice.

In reality, there is nothing wrong with you; what’s wrong is the life you were forced to fit into an unnatural life.
A life where you've been given an ever-growing burden to carry and are told to not complain.

A life where you are coerced to fight against your own feelings and desires.
A life that is not truly yours, but was planned out and is controlled by others. A life of self-loathing and pain.

You are not here to live like this.
You are here to live free like a bird and brave like a lion.
You are here to love, play, create and discover.
You are here to contribute something magnificent to the world.

You are here to live, not just survive, and enrich existence with your very presence.
So, when you hear that secret voice again, please trust it because this life was truly meant to be a celebration.

🌟Ravenbridge Yoga Studio will be closed today for a special event in Sombra. Classes begin again next Tuesday, with Gentle Movement Yoga at 4:30pm❤️🌟
Namaste 🌙 🙏 ❤️

I choose to stop rushing through life.
I am no longer chasing every moment.
I will not measure my worth by how busy I am
or how much I accomplish in a day.

Instead, I give myself permission to slow down, to pause,
to breathe deeply,
to feel the sun on my skin
and notice the beauty in everyday things.

I want to live with intention, not urgency,
with presence, not pressure.
Life is not a checklist;
it’s a collection of moments,
and I choose to be fully here for them.

In slowing down, I reclaim my time,
my peace,
and the joy of simply being alive.
