Meditation 101

Meditation 101

Meditation is really just spending time with yourself. During meditation, maybe you’ll try and focus, or breathe deeply. But did you know there is also meditation in dancing, gardening, being fully present with your child or being still in prayer?

I created a little slide show presentation in the hopes of dispelling some of the scariness of meditation.

Listen to Your Heart

Listen to Your Heart

We can’t wait until we are broken to heal ourselves; we need healing daily, and minute to minute. We must seek reminders about why we strive so hard to make our lives purposeful.  We must connect with others to share the suffering, sadness, and grief we may feel from day to day.  And we must also seek a non-judgmental space to share our success, joy, laughter, and the beauty of what we witness.

A Prayer for Nurses

A Prayer for Nurses

Happy Nurses Week 2019!
A reflection I wrote in 2013 for my fellow Nurse colleagues, and it still rings true today.

Trust that those you touch can sense the power and the beauty of your authentic desire to give them the truth of caring. Care that is expressed through pure passion. A selfless gift full of love, kindness, compassion and joy. A gift given with skilled and gentle hands, a kind smile, soothing words and peaceful silence. Your purpose is the power of your love, giving energy, tranquility and genuine light to others.
