Balance for me now means seeing myself as a tree, being strong enough in my roots and trunk to not be a pushover, but being flexible enough in every circumstance not to break. I am continuing to expand, but not any faster than my roots can support me.

Being inundated with constant "bad" news from the media doesn't help.

I am giving myself permission to love - ALL of it.

I have recently decided that there is no place in my head or my heart for fear anymore.

The only unifying thought is one of LOVE.

It feels good to rail against what is wrong in the world, to fight the good fight, to beat the drum of making a difference. I am right there with you.

I truly have come to believe that there are only two states of being that generate our thoughts: LOVE or FEAR.
