Sometimes, we need to be reminded that we are beautiful, spirit-filled, powerful beings. Each of us has gifts and talents that we can give to the world like a peacock spreads its glorious tail.
What are the colorful tail feathers in your life?
Reflection
Like mirrored glass balls, we reflect the light of the world imperfectly. And yet, those reflections can be beautiful and inspiring. Our reflection can magnify and multiply the light around us.
What are you reflecting into the world today?
Ancestors
Walking, I am listening to a deeper way. Suddenly all my ancestors are behind me. Be still, they say. Watch and listen. You are the result of the love of thousands. -Linda Hogan, in Dwellings
Who are the ancestors behind you today? How are you feeling their love?
Nature’s Beauty
The practice of noticing beauty in the world around us renews our spirit and reminds us that even when times are difficult, beauty is possible.
Look for beauty today. Note where you find it and how it makes you feel.
Journal
Julia Cameron, in her book The Artist’s Way encourages people to begin each day by writing three pages of stream-of-consciousness journaling. According to Cameron, these “morning pages provoke, clarify, comfort, cajole, prioritize and synchronize the day at hand.”
Write (or dictate) three pages of whatever is on your mind. How might this practice ground you in your day?
