These are the times we have a unique opportunity to honestly see and to learn. We can see our old patterns of behavior and learn new compassion for ourselves and others. 

I have a longing to hear his voice and to receive his wise council. Going to ‘have a talk’ with my dad was like seeking out the Oracle or the Supreme Chief of our tribe.

Being strong does not mean enduring hardship, challenge, and loss.

There is a fine line, a turning point, between having this pause benefit me as a way to honor myself - and having it contribute to boredom and unrest. 

Whether to react or respond to Life is always our choice. It is linked to our free will - guided by our belief in who we are and what we’ve given our power to.

Now more than ever the world needs our love. Our families and friends need our love. Our communities, leaders, plants and animals need our love. Mother Earth desperately needs our love. . .

Funny how even the deepest rut can be negotiated successfully with a shift in perspective. 

You deserve to honor and navigate your own journey of grief without having to do it alone!
