So nice that local businesses support local authors! And they do a wonderful mani/pedi in a relaxing environment!

I try to remember that my attention is an expression of love—and to place my attention where love calls it.

When someone listens to us with presence and attention it is an expression of love.

It is a gift of love I give with every encounter. It is also a gift I give myself —to be more lovingly present in my own life.

So when I ask myself at the start of each day, “What is mine to do” I answer myself “be present, be loving, pay attention—this too changes the world.”

You didn’t come this far to only come this far. Never give up on yourself.
This is a new day, and we can do anything for one day, or one moment, that maybe we could never imagine doing for a lifetime.

Wake up. Take a few deep breaths, whisper “Thank you for the gift of this new day” and get out of bed taking the first step into whatever the day has planned, knowing you are resilient and strong, figuring it out as you go, one moment at a time. 🤎

Bring Me the Sun
While the world wars I sit
listening to birdsong
is that a wrentit
or a song sparrow

I know the towhee’s croak
the mourning dove’s low note
the click and hum
of hummingbird

the mockingbird challenges me
its phrases just beyond naming

Then Wellington bounces toward me, black eyes shining, intent,
a lemon-yellow toy in his mouth, bringing me the sun

Nothin' but blue skies do I see
Bluebirds singin' a song
Nothin' but blue skies from now on

Bluebirds are a favorite of mine. They are a sign that spring is on its way, although we have a snowstorm coming in on Sunday! This cute little fellow parked himself beside a burgeoning tree bud.
