Being Queen

Nothing Lost

"There is nothing lost that cannot be found again if sought.” – Edmund Spenser

Inner Guidance

- Dr. Christiane Northrup

Balancing

"It is in the balancing of your spirituality with your humanity that you will find immeasurable happiness, success, good health, and love." - Steve Maraboli

Create Your Life

“My life didn't please me, so I created my life.”

A Hero

Being Beautiful

"To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don't need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself."

 

~Thich Nhat Hanh

Like the Lotus

"May I live like the lotus - at ease in muddy water." - Unknown

Our Own Lives

"The world is perfect. It's a mess. It has always been a mess. Our job is to straighten out our own lives." - Joseph Campbell

You Belong

"Like a snowflake, you are same and different from all others. In a bed of snow, every snowflake belongs and every snowflake is unique." - Myra Salas

Malleable

"The world is more malleable than you think and it's waiting for you to hammer it into shape." - Bono



(Painting by Jackson Pollack)

Be the One

"Life can beat us down. The insensitivity of people can deter us from following our path. Let not the darkness of others diminish your spirit. Rise above the madness. Be the strong one. Be the one that not only survives but transcends. Be the one who reaches through the darkness to guide people into the light. Be the one who seeks to change the world for the better. Be the one who respects the gift of life. Be the one who creates a new reality where love and spirit flow through everything. Be the one." - Michael Teal

A Sandcastle

"We are like children building a sand castle. We embellish it with beautiful shells, bits of driftwood, and pieces of colored glass. The castle is ours, off limits to others. We're willing to attack if others threaten to hurt it. Yet despite all our attachment, we know that the tide will inevitably come in and sweep the sand castle away. The trick is to enjoy it fully but without clinging, and when the time comes, let it dissolve back into the sea."

 

~Pema Chödrön

Blessing You

Caring

Imagination

Your Identity

Honestly & Gently

Reflect on Our Actions

“We don't set out to save the world; we set out to wonder how other people are doing and to reflect on how our actions affect other people's hearts.” ― Pema Chödrön

The Words You Speak

God in Your Life

"As long as you find something beautiful, good, and true to believe in and abide by, you have the equivalent of God in your life." ~Thich Nhat Hanh

Shine

The world may tell you to keep quiet.
Speak.

The world will tell you to silence your soul's music.
Play on.

The world will tell you you're not enough, you're too old, you'll never make it on your own.
Stand.

The world will tell you that hope is hapless, that faith is false, and that love is merely a lark.
Forgive.

The world may tell you to dim your light, to dull your spirit, dampen your heart.
Shine! Brightly, unapologetically, boldly, fully. Shine!

You are not here to please the world. YOU are here for LOVE.

I celebrate your spirit, I see your beauty, I behold your light. Shine!
