If you haven't watched any of the videos of the monks & Aloka The Peace Dog go find them now. It is such good medicine for the heart!!

I was watching videos of this incredible story last night. One of the monks was hit by a car & lost his leg. He said he gratefully offers his leg for peace. In Georgia a group of people from a Baptist church protested the monks threatening harm to them so they had to change course. Their entire goal is to spread the energy of peace and love. Seeing this story made tears of joy run down my face. Thank you to these monks and thank you Alota!

These Buddhist monks are walking 2300 miles across America with Aloka, a stray who began following them in India and has not left their side. They walk for peace. Aloka is now known as the peace dog. This makes my heart smile! Have a beautiful day!

In the coming days, the light of every light worker on this planet is needed more than ever before. Do not allow the darkness of events to pull you into fear, anger or lack. Hold tightly to joy, love, beauty and peace. We must be anchors for light in this dark night.

We just keep showing up. One day, one minute at a time. We can do that!

A Willingness to Keep Showing Up

I step into this new year
gently, without resolutions,
with just a simple willingness,
to keep going,
to keep moving forward.

Not the bright, declarative kind of decision
that arrives with banners and promises,
but the quieter kind,
the one that asks for nothing grand.

No transformation.
Just an honest effort
to place one foot in front of the other,
without needing it to be a victory march.

To keep going isn’t strength.
It’s letting the days arrive as they are,
some heavy,
some hollow,
some unexpectedly kind.

It’s allowing grief, fatigue, memory, and love
to share the same room,
without insisting that any of them leave.

There is no list.
No reinvention.
No deadline for becoming someone new.
There is only the steady choice
to remain present,
to trust that willingness itself
is an act of grace.

So this year begins
not with resolve, but with intention:
the intention to stay present,
the intention to try again tomorrow,
the intention to simply keep showing up.

Big keys for my journey have been staying open minded, surrendering, look for the lesson & grow.

Boundaries are a life long work in progress for me. This is a great place to draw a line in the sand.
