Every noble effort of participation in in the dance of life reminds me of seashells. The being living inside is attuned to the spiral of the cosmos – perpetual in motion spinning, attracting, growing – doing what she is to do – one day emerging from beauty, displaying beauty, an artifact of love in her wake. It’s deep sensing, it’s grander than thought alone, it’s home.
Creating beauty in your own world
by your own hand
sensing the unseen hands
for your own joy
opens the well of generosity.
We are about to launch this planning app for teenagers. They can set and track their goals, message their successes and update their plans as they learn and grow.
We will be posting updates in this blog. If you are interested please follow to stay in the loop. If you have thoughts to share on this topic please do!
Thank you.
Two Ways to Live
Live sensing
harmonizing
with Nature
like ancient stone
still standing
shelters
set with love.
Live gently
give up
every trace
to the next tide.
-Rhana
Listen in silence and let go
to being wildly whole,
crazy complete, and freed.
Only for a moment,
there is no
other place to go
no situation to solve
no thing to do.
Moments add up
while Silence listens for the song
your ears are singing.
Listen to her song lines
singing you
whole and home.
-Rhana
Create beauty and move on.
Clinging to the past will leave you grieving for
the loss of all the beauty
in this moment.
That adds up.
Ever etching veined pain
ever disturbing the peace
ever wallowed weeping.
Create beauty and move on.
-Rhana
Joy and trash walk hand in hand on most of Earth’s beaches in 2015.
Scientists scooped up sea water, extracted the plastic bits, melted them and made a chair.
When you’re out in Nature on the beach or in the forests be prepared to pick up debris even if it’s “not yours”. You can make a difference. Then in a couple of generations humans will live in love with Earth and take exquisite care of her! Because toxic debris laden waterways is really evidence that human beings have not fallen in love with the magnificient Earth they call home. That’s a sad story to live 24/7. She’s all we have!
I was placing a flat of freshly planted succulent cuttings on the greenhouse bench when this color caught me. I dashed for my Canon. Enthralled by the scintillating shades in this epiphylim bloom I was ready to click the button when a bee agreed and buzzed in for pollen. Bees are beauty builders. Bees feed us and sometimes bust up a picnic.
True: To make one pound of honey bees need to visit at least 1 million flowers and fly approximately 50,000 miles. The nectar collected is then evaporated by the wings of 50,000 to 70,000 worker bees that make up a hive at peak season. When the honey is ready only 18% of the original water remains; any more and it would ferment. Let that thought enter your awareness the next time you reach for a spoonful of honey and be in sweet awe.
True: Divine genius is illumined light years beyond our human imagination. 
When you plant, be brilliant and, plant bee friendly. Source plants from organic producers. Big box garden stores are selling “bee friendly” plants that have systemic pesticides, neonicotinoids, that are higly toxic and likely the cause of colony collapse. We are in this together.
Without bees it’ll be bye bye beauty. 
Look closely soften your focus and you will experience all the colors of the chakras generously and wonderously radiating from this one bloom. From the red root to the violet crown and white light. Look long enough and you may even feel a shift in your own energy field. Feel blessed. You are a blessing.
The day begins! I can make it beautiful. No complaints.
Strawberries give a glow to your cheeks from your inside out. Always bypass the pesticides and buy organic.
Maybe you remember the old juicers that were a hassle to clean, wasted nutrition in the form of discarded pulp and required pounds of produce for a few glasses of carrot juice. I bless my Vitamix everyday with gratitude.
We had a guest recently. He has the body-wide circulatory destructive disease diabetes. 34 million Americans have it and 57 million American have prediabetes. That shock inspired my research which led to cinnamon. Adding 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon daily over 40 days lowered fasting blood sugar up to 29%, decreased LDL 27% and up to a 30% reduction in triglycerides.
Mornings are spicier.
Mornings are deliciously natural.
Cheers to healthier, happier and kinder living!
Apology letters are few and far between. The only one I recall is ancient history. It was a poem entitled “Sorry” from a high school beau who dumped me for someone else. This week, I received a surprising apology note from this young lady, my niece. What in the world could this sweet faced girl have done to apologize for? Acting out at the County Fair 9 months ago! 
Happiness is good health and a short memory for unhappy moments. I’m blessed to have both.
