Today remember that you are ALWAYS enough and trust the process ...

Quiet the voice telling you to do more and be more, 

and trust that in this moment, 

who you are, where you are at, 

and what you are doing is enough. 

You will get to where you need to be in your own time. 

Until then, breathe. Breathe and be patient with yourself and your process. You are doing the best you can to cope and survive amid your struggles, and that’s all you can ask of yourself. 

It’s enough. You are enough.

Daniell Koepke

So girls, remember when you are feeling stressed, 

just breathe and know that you are enough!

love, mom

May this dress help us to trust the process ...

Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. 

How do you know this is the experience you need? 

Because this is the experience you are having at the moment. 

Eckhart Tolle 

trust the process!

Today, let us remember to trust!!

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.” 

Marilyn Monroe

today, let it go and trust the universe!

 You don’t always need a plan. 

Sometimes you just need 

to breathe, trust, let go, 

and see what happens.

"“Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love – for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you from misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. 

And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.” 

― Max Ehrmann, Desiderata: A Poem for a Way of Life

Allow

There is no controlling life.

Try corralling a lightning bolt,

containing a tornado. Dam a

stream and it will create a new

channel. Resist, and the tide

will sweep you off your feet.

Allow, and grace will carry

you to higher ground. The only

safety lies in letting it all in –

the wild and the weak; fear,

fantasies, failures and success.

When loss rips off the doors of

the heart, or sadness veils your

vision with despair, practice

becomes simply bearing the truth.

In the choice to let go of your

known way of being, the whole

world is revealed to your new eyes.

Danna Faulds

"Poems from the Heart of Yoga: Go In and In"

as many of you may know, my beloved van died at the end of April which propelled me on a soul-searching journey.  It took me seven weeks to find a new 'peace mobile' and during that time I learned a lot about myself and trusting the process.  

Below is a small photo essay of 'odyssey to replace my Odyssey', 
and for those who are interested, I will be writing a longer and more detailed version on my art blog.  But suffice it to say, this was a major lesson for me in trusting the process, trusting the universe, believing that everything is unfolding as it should!!! and to just let go and trust 

(but oh boy, this is a hard one for me, hence why I choose this poem) 

peace and happy Sunday!! 

the Odyssey could go no more on her own :(

pulled out the trusty bike and rediscovered
how much I LOVE riding my bike, but it wasn't too
helpful when i needed to do carpool duty :(

and so it began . . . .

After weeks of searching, hours of test driving 

and many fruitless negotiations,

with the help of Nathan at Wellesley Toyota 

I found my car!!

me and a very patient man.

my new baby, Cypress Pearl,  parked in my drive :)

the first bumper sticker is already on, and
I think the sentiment,
 Let it be, is totally apropos !!

Let it Be!!!
