The Journey Awakens the Soul
I discovered that it is sometimes on the journey that we find ourselves. -Topaz
I have learned that we do not always have to have strong feelings about something for it to be the thing that will move our soul, for it to awaken our soul. The soul is often awakened on the journey. We just must begin the journey. We must take the journeys, lots of journeys. We have to take that first step. We have to say yes. This is the place where life is lived.

My heart is so happy….and full. My heart is full. Today we celebrated.

Be As You Wish to Seem
Be as you wish to seem. -Socrates
How we wish to seem might be telling us who we really want to be, maybe even who we were created to be, but we are stuck, stuck in old patterns, hurts, habits, thoughts, and actions. Maybe we just haven’t learned all we need to learn yet. Maybe we are still in the design process…

We Made a Memory
We made a memory. My tribe and I…we made a memory. I decided that we should live like this all the time.
Little Boy Dancing Like Swayze… What We Can All Learn From This
The things we once did so freely as children, maybe we never should have stopped doing those things. It makes me wonder when we started feeling so self-conscious or criticized that we stopped being free, that we stopped feeling brave and beautiful enough to fly like this little one…
We become the books we read. -Matthew Kelly
