STAYING POWER: Practice gratitude, the full-body kind. Find beauty. Settle into the self-love you have within you, and then enjoy being there, moment to moment. Complete your work and offer what you can, but never leave yourself out of the gift. Honor the cycle of slowing and retreating, one of nature’s prime wisdoms for a balanced life. Relearn the meaning of home. Let something be born in the interim, that place where creativity takes root. Staying can be an opportunity for whatever might have been missing in the day to day. I am lighting a candle for all of us and sending a prayer for peace, health and Love.
