Starve the ego. Feed the soul.

Choices based in fear (of lack, loss, change, control issues) are from the ego. Choices that truly “spark joy” or put us “in the zone” or give us a sense of peace are what feed us.
Have a beautiful week!

One of our volunteers/neighbors shared this quote with me last week, and it resonated as I watched the headlines. The smallest pebble creates a ripple, and it's all about making good ripples. Have a great week!
"The essential ingredients of struggles for justice are human beings who, if only for a moment, if only while beset with fears, still step out of line and do something, however small. And even the smallest most unheroic of acts adds to the pile of kindling that may be ignited by some surprising circumstance into tumultuous change."
Howard Zinn
“Results happen over time, not overnite."
Unknown
Patience, persistence. All in the right time, as it's meant to be. Have a wonderful week.
Ideas are flowing right now; time, not so much. Keep the conversations going. Make the most of this week!

"I used to go away for weeks in a state of confusion."
Albert Einstein
So I'm in good company. There is so much going on, so many immediate needs, so many opportunities. Stick to a list as much as possible. Bring yourself back from distractions rather than chasing a tangent.
Have a great week---we're already through January!
"This year I want to focus more on my peace than on my pace."
@positivelypresent
An affirmation to keep in mind. Be safe, be warm. Have a fabulous week.
"I haven't a clue as to how my story will end. But that's alright. When you set out on a journey and night covers the road, you don't conclude the road has vanished. And how else could we discover the stars?" Unknown
May your road be full of discoveries. Have a nice week.
"What the new year brings to you will depend a great deal on what you bring to the new year."
Vern McClennan
It's a clean slate. Leave the fear and negative thoughts behind. Focus on what could go right, entertain possibilities, and follow next steps to accomplish your goals. Very best wishes for a successful and prosperous 2024!
"Your life is always speaking to you. It speaks to you in whispers, guiding you to your next right step."
Oprah Winfrey
Sometimes you have to be still and listen. Wishing all safe and happy holidays with some down time to reflect on this busy year and opportunities ahead.
“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.”
Edith Wharton
To be fair, spreading light is always positive, your own or by adding to someone else’s: attend a benefit event, share a positive post on social media, buy locally-produced goods. There are many ways to keep the candles burning.
Have a good week!
"Reflection...looking back so the view looking forward is clearer."

Like many people, I spend some time reflecting in December. I go through my planner, emails. notes, photos. Every day has little moments, ideas, or connections that may influence bigger things down the road.
So long to 2023. Have a good week, all.
“Be thankful for your life, spend time in nature, breathe deeply, let go of your worries, forgive yourself and others, and build your life around what you love."
Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving, all.
“Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance."
Eckhart Tolle
I just interviewed Nicholas Coulter and Chuck Albanese of Person Centered Housing Options (www.pcho.org) about their programs addressing Rochester's homeless population. The article will be in the December/January issue of The WEDGE.
Stopping to consider the daily struggles of others can change one's perspective and induce a wave of thankfulness for my life and for those helping the most vulnerable.
Please consider a donation to or becoming involved with this cause.

Celebrating this morning's sunrise. Life is sweet for me right now as my photo prints, tiles, and cards are available at a new venue called The Artisan Cove at Piano Works mall in East Rochester. There are many artists there, all local.
This is the first time, since moving back to Rochester 8 years ago, that my work has been available in a physical space, so it's "big" for me. So grateful that this opportunity came along. If you have time, check out all of the diverse work at Artisan Cove, maybe pick up a gift or two.

“By replacing fear of the unknown with curiosity we open ourselves up to an infinite stream of possibility. We can let fear rule our lives, or we can become childlike with curiosity, pushing our boundaries, leaping out of our comfort zones, and accepting what life puts before us." Alan Watts
Explore. Take a risk. Have a happy Halloween.
“Farmers harvest more than crops. They harvest months of hard work, early mornings and late nights. Harvest is when their dedication blossoms and blooms."

What have you sown this year? What's coming to fruition?
“The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind."

"The real winners in life are the people who look at every situation with an expectation that they can make it work or make it better."
Barbra Pletcher
Not all outcomes are easily achieved. Every moment, situation is given to us on purpose. A change of perspective or openness to new possibilities can help us grow and reach the finish line faster.
Have a great end of September.
