"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers."
-- M. Scott Peck

One of my favorite quotes!

On the path in Alliance, Ohio

Good Morning,

In past weeks I have been going within and finding myself very uncomfortable and unable to let go of certain situations and negative thoughts. So, I decided to take some time busy schedule, relax, listen to my inner self....my soul...and begin to "see" new ways to re-direct my life. It was in those dark moments that I found inspiration and joy to let go. By taking time to "see" what the root of the situation really was, it was easy to close the old door and open a new door to more positive ventures. I now feel empowered and ready to begin again with a clean slate. On a side note, I have been having some "eye" problems...probably do to age, but none-the-less, it really was about not seeing the siutation "Clearly." I see fine!

We all go thru dark times, have unpleasant, re-occurring thoughts and feelings. It is when you allow yourself the time and the space to feel it, experience it, then express in a positive manner, that you can truly let go and move into new directions or on a new path.

If you need some direction or some tools to help you on your journey, write me....

I look forward to hearing from you.

Many blessinsgs, darlene

Footprints in the sand... Where have you been? Where are you going? Pay attention. Don't let resentments or pessimism answer for you.

"I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive."
-- Joseph Campbell

Dear Friends,

Get out there this weekend and enjoy life. Find some things you like to do outdoors and just be in the moment. Play with your kids, jump robe, fly a kite, swing on the old swing set, have a picnic lunch in the local park.....find free things to just "experience the feeling of being alive."

Enjoy!

Many blessings, darlene

"Every tomorrow has two handles.

We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith."
-- Henry Ward Beecher

"Rushing into action, you fail. Trying to grasp things, you lose them.

Forcing a project to completion, you ruin what was almost ripe.

Therefore the Master takes action by letting things take their course."

Lao Tzu

Good Morning Friends,

Remember the seeds that you were given at the last retreat? I do hope that you planted the seeds in a great spot and are now seeing some sprouts or new life popping thru the ground.

Just enjoy watching your seeds sprout, grow, and blossom. Much like your life, just allow it all to unfold without any pressure or forcing and soon you will see new life arriving for your highest good.

Many blessings, darlene

"When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me."

Many blessings, darlene
