My Rock...my foundation

The only constant in life is change...so in this whirlwind around us, moving, shaking, going, speeding in a flurry of events, experiences, emotions, relationships, challenges, celebrations and so much more, we find solice, steady support in our foundation.

Like a mountain that rises high enough above the clouds so that the sunlight ALWAYS hits it's peak, we find steady in our foundation, like a rock. People, emails, interactions, conversations, drama will take place around us, constantly moving like clouds around the mountain, but we remain firm and strong. We may wish they go away, but who would shade our valleys, who would provide season and rain for our growth? We can experience, embrace it all and have gratitude for it all while remaining unaffected, and strong. 

Today, I will stand on my rock, my foundation, and let the clouds go by, knowing who I am, what I stand for, loving and grateful for all of it.

The Shoreline...

Our journey could be like a river, wide and strong and moving all of the time...our journey could be a road filled with pot holes and road blocks along the way....our journey is a path that winds and weaves, through woods with sunlight and shade.

No matter what our individual lives look like, what form our path takes shap of, it is important to see it, our journey, as a whole from time to time. To notice all that it has to offer, to take moment to feel the sunlight and enjoy the shade, to float down the middle of the river and when to cling to the shore, to drive on, slow down, speed up, or when to rest. It's important that we work to detach ourselves from any single element that might come along our path and continue on with the journey, living in each present breath.

Today I am grateful for the journey, the path that I walk, the distractions along the way and most of all the beauty I get to experience and grow from!
