You have power over your mind, your thoughts. Your strength is in your thoughts - your thoughts that love, that touch, that care so very much.
As it has been said so often, you are what you think about. Claude keeps this on a card on his dresser, and sees it frequently. What a fantastic idea - to keep yourself reminded of the power in and of your thoughts!
Think about the things for which you are grateful, the things you love, the good in your life. In the darkest, toughest moments, think of these things.

As seasons change, now to winter, we can find joy in the change, in the new pattern, the new weather. Now the fallen leaves are dried and crisp under our step. The air has turned colder and drier as well. It’s scent is fresh, waiting for you to come out and enjoy it. And in a short few weeks, you will begin to hear the birds announce the coming spring.
Seasons wrap us with change and offer new joys.
Look out the window on arising and love the new day and its weather.
Walk out the door to your day and love the weather - rain or shine - love it.
Be in the day, dashing if you need, or slowly moseying if you can, and love the day and its’ weather.
Settle in for the night in gratitude for the lovely day and its weather. Whatever it was, it can be wonderful because you were in it, living another precious day, loving and being loved.
Happy winter,

“You are the light of the world.” ~ the Bible, Matthew 5:14
As I write to you on this New Year’s morning, I am getting beautiful loving messages from around the world, from hearts of love that I love, some of whom have been co-workers, some patients, some parents of patients, some students / seminarians, some dental colleagues, and some friends who share our journeys of life.
Some, truly, I barely knew; many I knew well. With each and all, we have shared happy, joyous times, talks, sharing.
As my heart swells and thrills to these messages, to each heart of my heart, I am grateful to be a vessel, through which the love flows, part of the process of shared light of the world.
Isn’t it just precious to be a drop in the vast ocean of God, a thread in the fabric of this life of souls having a human experience?
You are indeed, the light of the world.

If you wait to be sure, to feel ready, you may not be able to do anything remarkable.
If you are afraid to offend anyone, then you may not be able to do anything astonishing.
If you think only invincible types of people can do amazing things, you may not be able to do anything momentous.
If you decide to go for it now, there is a great chance you will do things astonishing, extraordinary, exceptional, tremendous, wonderful.
Start in your likely discomfort by doing tiny steps toward it. You’re not the same person you were last year. Challenge your beliefs, your certainties. Question what you’re so sure of. Like whether or not you CAN do extraordinary things.
Do something that is hard every day.
Even a little hard. Just do it.
Like wake up really early and read something inspirational. Start the day with exercise. Track what you eat. Really. Eat only nutritious food.
You’ll be surprised what you’re ready for, what you’re made of, what you can do!
Proud of you!!

Your Place in the Cosmos
You came for a reason. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to leave this world a better place. You, yes you.
“When I say it's you I like, I'm talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed.” - FRED ROGERS
You have the power to do remarkable things... should you choose to accept the assignment.
What can you do when everything has gone wrong? What can you do when you have no money? What can you do in a disaster?
You, yes you, can do remarkable things. You can find it in you to reach inside and change anything for yourself that you want to change.
You are remarkable. You are full of love.
You, yes you.

Have you sometimes watched the moon rise, just after sunset?
It is another of those treasures of experience that can take your heart and hold it in peace and joy.
A sunset sky streaked with pink and gold, cut with jagged edges of purple and blue, left by the sun’s departure.
And, on the other side of the horizon, a perfectly round pale moon begins its ascent. Soon the pale has become bright yellow gold.
Enjoy your sky, your sunsets, your moonrises. Re-connect with nature’s peace. Find the calm, the answers, the questions in it all.
It is there. You are there. Don’t miss another day, another evening, another moment of the glorious that we call life. Hold it in your heart.
And breathe.
And love.
