Change is the essence of life; change is the great challenge, the great constant. Change is the ultimate teller of tales.

To find this greater truth about God, Spirit, and the sacred, we must often set aside the limiting impressions from our childhood. In many instances these images of fear only serve to hold us back in our search for authentic spirituality...Open up your mind and heart to a concept of Spirit who looks out for us, loves us, sheds light on our path, and wants nothing less for us than unconditional happiness.

When you first awaken or before drifting off to sleep, quiet your mind, lift up your heart, muse, mull over, make discoveries. Consider, conceive, create, connect, concede that it all starts within.

Conscious choice is creative. Unconscious choice is destructive. That is how we end up living other people's lives.

Those who live passionately teach us how to love. Those who love passionately teach us how to live.

So burrow in. Snuggle deep. A winter idyll of simple splendor awaits.

Gradually as you become curator of your own contentment, you will learn to embrace the gentle yearnings of your heart.
